24. ANNUAL CHARGE ADJUSTMENT (ACA)
24.1 Application. This Section of the GT&Cs is filed pursuant to Section
382.202 of the FERC Rules and Regulations and Order No. 472. This Section
authorizes Pipeline to recover from Shippers the annual charge assessed to
Pipeline by the Commission for Commission budgetary expenses. Pipeline shall
recover this charge by including in Pipeline’s transportation rates a per unit
rate equivalent to the per Dt charge assessed against Pipeline by the
Commission. When Pipeline provides services to Shipper under multiple
transaction arrangements on Pipeline’s system, Pipeline will assess the ACA
charge only once on the same quantities of gas.
24.2 Definitions
(a) Effective Date. Pipeline shall adjust its ACA Charge annually to be
effective each October 1.
(b) Unit Rate. Pipeline’s unit rate shall be the unit rate used by the
Commission to determine the annual assessment to Pipeline adjusted, as
appropriate, to a thermal basis.
(c) Affected Rate Schedules. The affected rate schedules are all Rate
Schedules contained in Pipeline’s FERC Gas Tariff and all services performed
under the Commission’s Regulations.
24.3 Procedures to Determine ACA Charge Unit Rate. Pipeline shall determine
the ACA Charge Unit Rate by using the unit rate used by the Commission to
determine Pipeline’s annual charge adjustment and adjust such rate, as
appropriate, to a thermal basis. Pipeline shall round such Unit Rate to the
nearest one-hundredth of one cent ($0.0001).
24.4 Changes to the ACA Charge must be filed annually to reflect the annual
charge Unit Rate authorized by the Commission each fiscal year and are subject
to the notice requirements of Section 154.22 of the Commission’s Rules and
