20.2 Voluntary Contribution Mechanism

Shipper shall be permitted to make voluntary contributions to GRI

in such amounts and for such GRI project(s) or project area(s) as

It is included in the invoice in accordance with the January 21,

the Commission in Gas Research Institute, 83 F.E.R.C. 61,093

20.3 Remittance to GRI

Trunkline shall remit to GRI, not later than fifteen (15) days

after the receipt thereof, all monies actually collected and

received by virtue of the voluntary contribution mechanism, less

any amounts properly payable to a Federal, state or local

authority relating to the monies received hereunder. In no event

will Trunkline be required to remit to GRI amounts not actually

collected under this Section 20. For the amounts received through

the voluntary contribution mechanism, Trunkline shall indicate to

GRI the amounts applicable to specific projects and project areas,

if so indicated by Shipper.
