RATE SCHEDULE FT (Continued)
(e) Scheduling, Imbalance and Overrun Penalties. Transporter
shall charge Shipper any applicable scheduling, imbalance and overrun
penalties in accordance with Section 8 of the General Terms and Conditions.
(f) Other Charges. Any other charges as may be applicable
from time to time pursuant to the General Terms and Conditions or as
otherwise authorized by the FERC.
(g) Capacity Release Credits. To the extent Shipper releases
capacity in any Month pursuant to Section 11 of the General Terms and
Conditions, such Shipper shall receive a credit representing the Monthly
reservation charge simultaneously billed to the Replacement Shipper, minus all
applicable fees described in Section 11.15 of the General Terms and
Conditions. Nothing in this Section 3.2(f) relieves Shipper of its obligation
to pay to Transporter the full amount of the reservation charge for any Month
in which the Replacement Shipper fails to pay all or any portion of the
Replacement Reservation Charge.
3.3 Discounted Rates. For purposes of administering rates under this
Rate Schedule FT, Transporter shall have the right to discount the maximum
reservation rate and maximum usage rate for service under this Rate Schedule
FT and to charge a lower rate for some or all of the services performed under
this Rate Schedule; provided, however, that in no event shall rates charged
under this Rate Schedule be less than the minimum reservation rate and minimum
usage rate for firm service. Transporter shall not be obligated to offer
service at discount rates, however, discounted rates will not be made on an
unduly discriminatory basis and will be made available to all similarly
situated customers.
A Shipper with a previously negotiated rate discount limited to
service at specific receipt and delivery points may request that such
discounted rate apply to alternate points if Shipper chooses to release
capacity or use flexible receipt and delivery point rights. There shall be a
rebuttable presumption that Shipper will retain its discounted rate when
utilizing such points if Transporter currently grants discounts to another
Shipper receiving transportation service utilizing such points. However,
Transporter can rebut this presumption by demonstrating that Shipper is not
similarly situated to the Shipper receiving the discount at those points. If
the discount is retained, Shipper shall pay the higher of its contractual
discounted rate or the highest discounted rate being applicable to those
points.
On any business day, the request to transfer the discount must be
submitted at least two hours prior to the nomination that would use the
discount at alternate points. Transporter shall respond to the request within
two hours of receipt; however, any request received after 4:00 p.m. Central
Clock Time on any Business Day shall be responded to by 9:00 a.m. Central
Clock time on the following business day.
