applied during the last year of the total recovery period to the

during that same period.
37.4 Accounting Procedures for Buyout/Buydown Costs. Transporter
shall maintain separate principal and interest subaccounts in Account
186 to record take-or-pay buyout/buydown costs for each surcharge
recovery mechanism. The principal subaccounts for the fixed monthly
surcharge and/or throughput surcharge will be debited with that portion
of Transporter's applicable take-or-pay buyout/buydown costs elected by
Transporter and permitted to become effective by order(s) of FERC and
for the amount(s) necessary to ensure that Seller is kept whole whenever
FERC determines that particular services may not be assessed a specific
surcharge. Each month these principal subaccounts shall be credited
with the principal portion of the fixed monthly surcharge, if any, and
an amount determined by applying the principal portion of the throughput
surcharge to the actual total applicable transportation throughput
experienced during the month under Transporter's then effective FERC Gas
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1. The balance is the result of
applying the current month's credits as calculated above against the
prior month's balance. The interest subaccounts will be debited and/or
credited monthly, as applicable, for interest accrued or owed at the
current FERC published interest rate, and credited with the interest
portion of the fixed monthly surcharge and an amount determined by
applying the interest portion of the throughput surcharge to the actual
total applicable transportation throughput experienced during the month
under Transporter's then effective FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised
Volume No. 1.
