RATE SCHEDULE FTS
-----------------
5.5 (a) Unless otherwise provided by contract, MEP shall
have the unilateral right to file with any appropriate regulatory
authority and make changes effective in: (1) the rates and charges
applicable under this Rate Schedule FTS, including both the level
and design of such rates and charges; or (2) the terms and
conditions of this Rate Schedule FTS, including the applicable
General Terms and Conditions.
(b) If, at any time and from time to time, the FERC or
any other governmental authority having jurisdiction in the premises
allows or permits MEP to collect, or to negotiate to collect, a
higher rate for the service hereunder, the rate shall be increased
to the highest such rate unless the FTS Agreement or a separate
discount, Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula agreement
provides that the rate established in such an agreement shall not be
subject to such modification or increase. Should additional
documentation be required in order for MEP to collect such highest
rate, Shipper shall execute or provide such documentation within
fifteen (15) days after a written request by MEP. If, at any time
and from time to time, the FERC or any other governmental authority
having jurisdiction in the premises requires MEP to charge a lower
rate for transportation service hereunder, the rate shall be
decreased to such reduced rate except as otherwise agreed under
Section 5.1(b) of this Rate Schedule and Section 30 of the General
Terms and Conditions of this Tariff (as to Negotiated Rate or
Negotiated Rate Formula agreements).
5.6 MEP may, consistent with any provisions on discounting in
the FTS Agreement or in a separate discount, Negotiated Rate or
Negotiated Rate Formula agreement, charge any individual Shipper for
service under this Rate Schedule FTS a rate which is lower than the
applicable maximum rate set forth in this Tariff; provided, however,
that such rate may not be less than the applicable minimum rate for
service under Rate Schedule FTS set forth in this Tariff except as
otherwise provided in Section 30 of the General Terms and Conditions
of this Tariff (as to Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula
agreements). MEP shall file with the Commission any and all reports
as required by the Commission's Regulations with respect to the
institution or discontinuance of any discount.
