GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Cont'd)
38.8 Rate Treatment. Seller shall have the right to seek in future
general rate proceedings discount-type adjustments in the design of its
rates related to Negotiated Rate agreements that were converted from pre-
existing discount agreements to Negotiated Rate agreements, provided that
the type of pre-existing service is not altered as a result of the
conversion to a Negotiated Rate. In those situations, Seller may seek a
discount-type adjustment based upon the greater of: (a) the Negotiated
Rate revenues received or (b) the discounted rate revenues which otherwise
would have been received.
38.9 Negotiated Rate Surcharge and Retainage Components. If Seller
negotiates surcharge or retainage percentage rate components at lower than
the maximum rate level for those components as part of a Negotiated Rate
arrangement, it will assume any under-recovery of costs or retainage from
negotiated Customers in order to ensure that its recourse Customers are
not better or worse off due to Negotiated Rate arrangements with
individual Customers. To accomplish this, Seller will credit full
recourse rate surcharge and retainage amounts to the appropriate surcharge
and retainage accounts.
38.10 Filing Requirement. With respect to Negotiated Rate arrangements,
unless Seller executes and files a non-conforming Service Agreement,
Seller will file with the Commission a tariff sheet stating the exact
legal name of the Customer, the Negotiated Rate, the Rate Schedule, the
receipt and delivery points, the contract quantities, and where
applicable, any Negotiated Rate formula. The Negotiated Rate arrangement
shall not become effective earlier than the filing date of the tariff
sheet, unless the Negotiated Rate arrangement is dependent on information
available on the first day of the month, and the filing date of the tariff
sheet falls after the first day of the month. Any such filed tariff sheet
will contain a statement that the Negotiated Rate agreement does not
deviate in any material aspect from the Form of Agreement in the Tariff
for the applicable Rate Schedule.
38.11 Accounting Treatment. To ensure compliance with the foregoing
Sections 38.8, 38.9, and 38.10, and to ensure that recourse Customers are
not better or worse off due to Negotiated Rate arrangements, Seller shall
maintain and provide separately identified and totaled volume, billing
determinant, rate or surcharge component, and revenue accounting
information for its Negotiated Rate arrangements in any general or limited
rate change filing that it makes. Transactions related to Negotiated Rate
agreements that originated as a pre-existing discounted service and were
subsequently converted will be recorded separately from those originating
as Negotiated Rate agreements.
