GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 9
(Cont'd)
9.5.4 Capacity Release:
(a) A negotiated rate shall not apply as a price cap for capacity
release transactions under Section 16 of the General Terms and
Conditions.
(b) Texas Gas and a Releasing Customer may, in connection with their
agreement to a negotiated rate hereunder, agree upon payment
obligations and credit mechanisms that vary from or are in addition
to those set forth Section 16.6 of the General Terms and Conditions,
provided that such agreements are filed as nonconforming service
agreements.
9.5.5 Filing Requirements: No later than the business day on which Texas Gas
commences service at a negotiated rate (or if the day on which Texas Gas
commences such service is not a business day, then the next business day
after Texas Gas commences such service), Texas Gas will file with the
Commission a copy of the negotiated rate agreement, and an affirmation that
the negotiated rate agreement does not deviate in any material aspect from
the applicable form of service agreement in Texas Gas' tariff.
9.5.6 Accounting For Costs and Revenues: The allocation of costs to, and the
recording of revenues from, service at negotiated rate(s) will follow
Texas Gas' normal practices associated with all of its services under this
Tariff. Texas Gas will maintain separate records of negotiated rate
transactions for each billing period. These records shall include the
volumes transported, the billing determinants, the rates charged and the
revenue received associated with such transactions. Texas Gas will
separately identify such transactions in Statements G, I and J (or their
equivalents) filed in any general rate proceeding. Should Texas Gas
negotiate surcharges or fuel retention amounts, it will credit full
recourse rate surcharge amounts to its surcharge accounts and credit
maximum recourse retainage levels to its retainage accounts for any such
negotiated transactions that it enters into.
9.5.7 Rate Treatment: Texas Gas shall have the right to seek in future general
rate proceedings discount-type adjustments in the design of its rates
related to negotiated rate agreements that were converted from pre-
existing discount agreements to negotiated rate agreements, provided that
the type of pre-existing service is not altered as a result of the
conversion to a negotiated rate. In these situations, Texas Gas may seek
a discount-type adjustment based upon the greater of the negotiated rate
revenues received or the discounted rate revenues which otherwise would
have been received. For purposes of this Section 9.5.7, a pre-existing
discount refers to those discount agreements that existed prior to
September 1, 2000.
