Firm Transportation Service
(Continued)
3. RATES (Cont'd.)
(f) that a specified discounted rate is based on published index
prices for specific receipt and/or delivery points or other
agreed upon published pricing reference points (such
discounted rate may be based upon the differential between
published prices or arrived at by formula). Any agreement
containing such discounted rate shall specify the rate
component(s) to be discounted. To the extent the firm
reservation charge is discounted, the index price
differential rate formula shall be calculated to state a
rate per maximum daily quantity. Furthermore, such discount
shall not change the underlying rate design to include any
minimum bill or minimum take provision that has the effect
of guaranteeing revenue;
(g) that if one rate component, which was at or below the
applicable maximum rate at the time the discount agreement
was executed, subsequently exceeds the applicable maximum
rate or is less than the applicable minimum rate due to a
change in Transporter's maximum (minimum) rates so that
such rate component must be adjusted downward (upward) to
equal the new applicable maximum (minimum) rate, then other
rate components may be adjusted upward (downward) to achieve
the agreed overall rate, so long as none of the resulting
rate components exceed the maximum rate or are less than the
minimum rate applicable to that rate component. The
amendment may also provide for an adjustment to rate
components to achieve the over-all revenues attributable to
the agreed rates under the service agreement being amended
and other service agreements under the same or other rate
schedules, should changes in Transporter's maximum or
minimum rates increase or decrease the revenues attributable
to such other service agreement, so long as none of the
resulting rate components exceed the maximum rate or are
less that the minimum rates applicable to that rate
component. Such changes to rate components shall be applied
prospectively, commencing with the date a Commission order
accepts revised tariff sheets. Nothing contained herein
shall be construed to alter a refund obligation under
applicable law for any period during which rates that had
been charged under a discount agreement exceeded rates
which ultimately are found to be just and reasonable.
