35. CREDITING OF IMBALANCE REVENUE
35.1 This Section 35 establishes the procedures to be used by
Transporter to credit to Shippers Penalty Charges. "Penalty
Charges" shall include Unauthorized Overrun Charges; net Imbalance
revenue pursuant to Section 5.2d of Rate Schedule FT and Section
5.2b of Rate Schedule IT; Directional Notice and Critical Time
Operational Flow Order penalties pursuant to Section 29.9 of this
GT&C; PALS and S-PALS contract cash-out revenue pursuant to
Section 8.4(b) of the PALS and S-PALS rate schedules; penalty
amounts collected pursuant to Section 5.7a of Rate Schedule CMC-1
and Section 5.7a of Rate Schedule CMC-2; the realized value of
confiscated gas pursuant to Section 2.9 of Rate Schedule NNS and
Section 2.5 of Rate Schedules FSS and ISS; and the value of
retained gas pursuant to Section 29.13 of these General Terms and
Conditions. This procedure will be effective for Penalty Charges
assessed and collected after June 1, 2003.
(a) By December 30 of each Year, Transporter shall submit to the
FERC a reconciliation filing setting forth in detail the
Penalty Charges and related costs as of the preceding
September 30 and the allocation of any Penalty Charges and
related costs under this Section 35 to each Shipper, which
will be subject to review.
(b) Transporter shall compare Penalty Charges and related costs,
and determine if the Penalty Charges were in excess of costs
(net Penalty Charge revenue), or if costs were in excess of
Penalty Charges (net Penalty Charge costs).
(c) To the extent net Penalty Charge revenues are received by
Transporter, such net Penalty Charge revenues, if any, shall
be refunded through a direct payment. A refund allocation
factor for each Shipper shall be calculated by dividing the
actual reservation and commodity revenues for each Shipper
by the total reservation and commodity revenues during the
reporting period. The reservation and commodity revenues
used to calculate the refund allocation factor shall be net
of all applicable surcharges, including but not limited to,
ACA and GRI surcharges. The resulting refund allocation
factor shall be multiplied by the net Penalty Charge revenue
to arrive at the applicable direct payment for each Shipper.
(d) Any net Penalty Charge costs shall be rolled forward into
succeeding reporting periods until eliminated.
