GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

24. NEGOTIATED RATES (continued)
24.6 Accounting Treatment
Pipeline 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. Pipeline will keep separate and identifiable each volume
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.
24.7 Filing Requirement
Pipeline will file, prior to the commencement of service under a
negotiated rate agreement, a Statement of Negotiated Rates
reflecting the Customer's exact legal name, rate schedule,
negotiated rate, the term of the negotiated rate, quantities,
points of receipt and delivery to which the negotiated rate
applies, the exact formula underlying a negotiated rate for any
negotiated rate agreement, and any other rate-related terms that
apply to the negotiated rate. Such sheet also affirms that actual
negotiated rate agreements do not deviate in any material respect
from the form of service agreements.
24.8 Documentation
Any negotiated rate agreed to by Pipeline and Customer pursuant to
this Section 24 shall be implemented by Pipeline's completion of a
pro forma Statement of Negotiated Rates with the applicable
negotiated rate-related provisions as described in Section 24.7
herein. Pipeline shall tender such pro forma Statement of
Negotiated Rates to Customer together with a transmittal letter
for counter-execution by Customer, which transmittal letter shall
have the sole purpose of memorializing Pipeline's and Customer's
mutual agreement to the rate-related provisions reflected on such
attached pro forma Statement of Negotiated Rates. After execution
by both Pipeline and Customer, Pipeline 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 Pipeline and Customer. Any negotiated rate agreed to pursuant
to this Section 24 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.
