GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
Section 6. The cumulative difference shall reflect monthly carrying
charges for each month during the period February 1992 through June 1995
based on the applicable annual interest rate and methodology specified in
Section 5.1(c). All amounts shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.2.
5.1(b) Each month commencing July 1995, the balance in the Recoverable
Cost/Revenue Account shall be (i) increased by the amount of Recoverable
Eligible Costs paid by Transporter in that month, (ii) reduced by an
amount equal to the amount collected by the PCB Adjustments for that
month, as adjusted for discounting consistent with Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
(iii) reduced by any third party recoveries for that month as specified in
Section 6 and (iv) debited (in the event of a debit balance) or credited
(in the event of a credit balance) with carrying charges, calculated in
accordance with this Section 5.1.
5.1(c) All carrying charges shall be computed by using the greater of (i) an
annual interest rate of 10% for the period ending on June 30, 2009 and 8%
thereafter; or (ii) the then-applicable FERC-prescribed interest rate for
pipeline refunds pursuant to Section 154.67(c)(2)(iii)(A), or successor
provision, of the Commission's regulations. Carrying charges shall be
compounded quarterly and shall reflect adjustments for tax normalization
as set forth in Section 5.1(d).
5.1(d) The applicable annual carrying charge rate specified in Section 5.1 (c)
shall be converted to a monthly carrying charge rate and such monthly rate
shall be multiplied by the prior month's ending balance of the Recoverable
Cost/Revenue Account adjusted for any applicable deferred income taxes.
All income tax timing differences which are the result of differences
between the period in which expense or revenue enters into the
determination of taxable income and the period in which the expense or
revenue enters into the determination of pre-tax book income shall be
normalized.
5.2 The balances in the Recoverable Cost/Revenue Account shall be computed
after first adjusting all cost amounts and revenue (including TPR pursuant
to Section 6) amounts (exclusive of carrying charges) to 1992 dollars in
the following manner:
C1992 = Ci (I1992 / Ii), where
C1992 = Costs adjusted to 1992 dollars
