32.5 Accounting Treatment
Transporter will establish a new sub-account to record the
revenues received from any negotiated rate transactions and shall
maintain supporting information at a level of detail that would be
sufficient for Natural Gas Act Section 4 rate change filing
purposes. Transporter will keep separate and identifiable each
quantity transported, billing determinant, rate component,
surcharge, and revenue associated with a negotiated rate to permit
filings in the form of Statements G, I, and J in future rate
proceedings.
If, in a Negotiated Rate arrangement, Transporter negotiates a
fuel retention percentage that is lower than the maximum rate
level, Transporter will assume any under-recovery of retainage
from Negotiated Rate Shippers in order to ensure that its recourse
Shippers are not better or worse off as a consequence of
Transporter's agreement to undertake Negotiated Rate arrangements
with individual Shippers. To accomplish this, Transporter shall
impute the recourse fuel retention percentage to Negotiated Rate
Shippers' transportation quantities, or otherwise treat Negotiated
Rate Shippers as if they were subject to the recourse fuel
retention percentage, in performing any calculation of recourse
fuel retention percentages or fuel retention quantities.
32.6 Documentation
Any Negotiated Rate agreed to by Transporter and Shipper pursuant
to this Section 32 shall be implemented by Transporter's
completion of a pro forma Statement of Negotiated Rates with the
applicable Negotiated Rate-related provisions as described in
Section 32.7 herein. Transporter shall tender such pro forma
Statement of Negotiated Rates to Shipper together with a
transmittal letter for counter-execution by Shipper, which
transmittal letter shall have the sole purpose of memorializing
Transporter's and Shipper's mutual agreement to the rate-related
provisions reflected on such attached pro forma Statement of
Negotiated Rates. After execution by both Transporter and
Shipper, Transporter shall file a Statement of Negotiated Rates
with the Commission which shall contain rate-related provisions
identical to the rate-related provisions reflected on the pro
forma Statement of Negotiated Rates agreed to by Transporter and
Shipper. Any Negotiated Rate agreed to pursuant to this Section
32 shall become effective only after acceptance by the Commission;
prior to such date the rate applicable to any such service shall
be the maximum recourse rate.
