5. RATES AND CHARGES
5.1 Applicable Rates: The applicable rates for service under the FT-BH Rate
Schedule are the applicable maximum FT-BH rates shown in the Summary of Rates
and Charges in Transporter's effective FERC Gas Tariff; provided, however,
upon notice to Shipper, Transporter has the right at any time and from time
to time to adjust the rates applicable to any Transportation Service
Agreement to any level not less than the minimum or more than the maximum
rates established for this Rate Schedule and set forth in the Summary of
Rates and Charges of Transporter's effective FERC Gas Tariff. In the event
that Transporter makes such an adjustment, such adjusted rates (a) shall
apply solely to service at the receipt and/or delivery points agreed upon by
Transporter, and (b) shall be applicable for the period agreed upon by
Transporter. By mutual agreement between Transporter and Shipper, discounts
may be limited consistent with the provisions of Section 6.1 of the pro forma
service agreement applicable to this Rate Schedule FT-BH.
In the event the Shipper has designated multiple Primary Receipt and/or
Primary Delivery points, a Weighted Average Reservation Rate shall be applied
to the total maximum daily transportation quantity specified in the
Transportation Service Agreement; provided, however, that the addition of
points to a Transportation Service Agreement shall not reduce the reservation
charge otherwise applicable to the Transportation Service Agreement. The
Weighted Average Reservation Rate shall be determined as follows: (1) for
each Primary Receipt and Primary Delivery point combination available under
the Transportation Service Agreement the applicable Reservation Rate shall
be multiplied by the maximum daily transportation quantity applicable to that
receipt and delivery point combination; (2) the sum of the amounts derived
for each receipt and delivery point combination shall be divided by the total
maximum daily transportation quantity specified in the Transportation Service
Agreement. The sum of the maximum daily transportation quantities applicable
to each receipt and delivery point combination shall be equal to the total
maximum daily transportation quantity under the Transportation Service
Agreement. In the event Transporter and Shipper agree to establish a fixed
rate to be charged for the duration of the firm Transportation Service
Agreement, said rate will be set forth in the Transportation Service
Agreement. Transporter shall file with the Commission the required reports
of any adjustment below the maximum Commodity and/or Reservation Rates for
service under this Rate Schedule.
5.2 Facilities Charge: In addition to the charges pursuant to Section 5.1 of
this Rate Schedule, Transporter may charge Shipper an amount to reflect the
cost of Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting Facilities as provided in
Article XVII of the General Terms and Conditions of Transporter's FERC Gas
Tariff. Any applicable Facilities Charge may be stated in the Transportation
Service Agreement.
5.3 Incidental Charges: In addition to the charges pursuant to Sections 5.1 and
5.2 of this Rate Schedule, Transporter shall charge Shipper an amount to
recoup any filing or similar fees which Transporter incurs in rendering
service hereunder, which have not been previously paid by Shipper.
Transporter shall not use the amounts so collected either as revenues or
costs in establishing its general system rates. The applicable Incidental
Charges shall be stated in the Transportation Service Agreement.
