RATE SCHEDULE HRS (cont.)
Hourly Reserve Service
d) ACA Charge. For each month, the ACA rate payable by the Shipper shall be
equal to an amount obtained by multiplying the sum of the Delivery Point(s)
Scheduled Quantity or Quantities during such Month, by the ACA unit rate.
e) Scheduling, Imbalance and Overrun Penalties. Transporter shall charge
Shipper any applicable scheduling, imbalance or overrun penalties in
accordance with Section 8 of the General Terms and Conditions.
f) Other Charges. These include 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, 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(g) 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
Transporter shall have the right to discount the maximum reservation rate and
maximum usage rate for the service under this Rate Schedule 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 is not obligated to offer service at discounted
rates; however, rates will not be discounted in an unduly discriminatory
manner and comparable discounts 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 points 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
withheld, Shipper shall pay the higher of its contractual discounted rate or
the highest discount rate being applicable to those points.
