(For Filings Submitted to FERC After November 1, 1990) (Continued)
service for any Shipper receiving service pursuant to Part 284 of
the FERC's Regulations from Transporter under its FERC Gas Tariff,
Second Revised Volume No. 1. Such discounting, however, shall be
in accordance with Section 284.7(d)(5) of the FERC's Regulations.
The maximum throughput surcharge shall be stated on Sheet Nos. 15,
18, and 21 of Transporter's FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume
No. 1. The minimum rate for each such throughput surcharge is
zero.
37.3.4 Annual Throughput Surcharge Reconciliation - This
provision provides a true-up mechanism to ensure that Transporter
neither overrecovers nor underrecovers the costs included in the
throughput surcharge. On or before May 31 of each year,
commencing on May 31, 1991, Transporter shall recalculate the
throughput surcharge to reflect revisions for the actual FERC
published interest rates during the recovery period ending the
preceding March 31 applied to actual buyout/buydown payments made
by Transporter, reduced, as applicable, to reflect interest owed
by Transporter to Shipper(s) on buyout/buydown costs collected
from Shipper(s) during such portion of the recovery period that
such buyout/buydown costs had not been expended by Transporter.
Additionally, Transporter shall calculate revisions to the
throughput surcharge to true-up differences between the actual
level of applicable transportation throughput experienced during
the recovery period ending the preceding March 31 and the total
throughput underlying the throughput surcharge actually billed
during that same recovery period. More specifically, in the event
that Transporter's actual applicable transportation throughput is
greater than the total throughput underlying the surcharge,
Transporter shall credit an amount to each of the subsequent
annual principal amounts equal to the difference in throughput
multiplied by the principal portion of the currently effective
throughput surcharge, divided by the number of years remaining in
the total recovery period, plus applicable interest. In the event
that Transporter's actual applicable
