GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SERVICES - continued
36. NEGOTIATED RATES
36.1 Availability.
Transporter and Shipper may mutually agree in writing to a
Negotiated Rate for service under any rate schedule contained
in Transporter's Tariff. Transporter shall make any filings
at the FERC necessary to effectuate a Negotiated Rate
agreement. Transporter's Recourse Rate is available to any
Shipper that does not desire to negotiate a rate with the
Transporter.
36.2 Definition.
Transporter and Shipper may mutually agree to a negotiated
rate or rate formula for service, in which one or more of the
individual rate components may be less than, equal to, or
greater than Transpoter's maximum and/or minimum rates, may be
based on a rate design other than Straight Fixed Variable
(SFV), and may include a minimum volume.
36.3 Limitations.
This Section 36 does not authorize Transporter to negotiate
terms and conditions of service.
36.4 Capacity Allocation.
For purposes of curtailment of interruptible services pursuant
to Section 16.3, and for scheduling interruptible services
pursuant to Section 22.6, Shippers which have agreed to pay a
Negotiated Rate which exceeds the maximum tariff rate, when
calculated on a 100 percent load factor basis, will be
considered to be paying the maximum Recourse Rate. In
evaluating bids for firm service or allocating capacity among
competing requests for firm service where one or more bid(s)
is at a Negotiated Rate which is proposing a reservation rate
or other form of revenue guarantee (i.e., minimum throughput
condition or minimum bill) that exceeds the maximum applicable
reservation rate, the net present value of any such bid for
firm service shall be capped by the net present value of the
maximum applicable reservation rate for such service over the
contract term bid.
