10. FACILITIES REIMBURSEMENT (Continued)
Based on the above listed criteria, the economic value of a
project shall be determined using the discounted cash flow rate of
return methodology with the minimum acceptable rate of return to
be published on Transporter's electronic bulletin board, as
amended from time-to-time. When the present value of the
incremental revenues from the project is greater than the present
value of the incremental cost of service, Transporter will pay for
the cost of the contemplated facilities. When the present value
of the incremental revenues from the project is less than the
present value of the incremental cost of service, Shipper shall
pay for the cost of the contemplated facilities in an amount equal
to the lesser of the actual cost of the facilities and the
difference between the present value of the incremental revenues
and the present value of the incremental cost of service.
When Transporter has previously paid for all or a portion of
receipt or delivery point facilities under this facilities
reimbursement policy, Shipper shall, nevertheless, promptly pay
Transporter for Transporter's net book value of such facilities
when either of the following events occurs: (1) when
Transporter's ability to fully recover such costs is denied in any
Section 4 or Section 5 rate proceeding, or (2) when Shipper ceases
operations at the end-use point or receipt point adjacent to where
the facilities were installed.
(b) Regardless of the outcome of the economic test, at its option,
Transporter will pay all costs of acquiring any rights to real
property upon which the contemplated facilities are to be
constructed, as well as costs related to rights of ingress and
egress. Unless otherwise agreed, any rights of ownership and
control associated with such real property will be retained by
Transporter.
(c) When Transporter installs facilities which require Shipper's
reimbursement under Section 10(a), Shipper may choose one of the
following options for payment:
(1) Shipper may pay Transporter for the subject facility
construction costs due pursuant to Section 10(a), and
related income taxes, in full upon completion of
construction; or
