RATE SCHEDULE IBS
-----------------
5. RATE
5.1 (a) Shipper shall pay MEP each month for service under
this Rate Schedule IBS the sum of the following charges:
(1) An Access Charge as provided in subsection (b)
of this Section;
(2) Applicable Balancing Service Charges; and
(3) Any other applicable charges and penalties set
out in this Rate Schedule IBS or the General Terms and Conditions of
this Tariff.
(b) The Access Charge shall be the sum for the billing
month of the then effective applicable daily Access Rate under the
IBS Agreement multiplied each day by the absolute values of confirmed
daily Access Requests for that Agreement to which that rate applies
(Access Requests for swing up are not netted against Access Requests
to swing down). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Access Charge for
any day shall be reduced to the extent that MEP curtails or
interrupts service under Rate Schedule IBS that day, with the
reduction to be calculated by multiplying the applicable daily Access
Rate times that portion of the confirmed Access Request which is
adversely affected by the curtailment or interruption. The maximum
monthly Access Charge shall be the sum for that billing month of the
applicable maximum unit daily Access Rate set out in this Tariff
multiplied each day by the absolute values of confirmed daily Access
Requests under the IBS Agreement to which that rate applies. The
Access Charge payable by Shipper shall be the applicable maximum
Access Charge unless a lower Access Charge is specified in the IBS
Agreement or a separate discount agreement is assessed under Section
5.5 of this Rate Schedule IBS, which lower charge must be consistent
with the minimum rate specified in this Tariff. By mutual agreement
between MEP and Shipper which is consistent with the pro forma
Agreement set out in this Tariff, discounts may be limited to
specific volumes.
