11. FACILITIES REIMBURSEMENT
Facilities contemplated by Section 1(b) of this Rate Schedule may
be installed by either Transporter or Shipper as provided below:
(a) Transporter will pay for all or part of the cost of the
modification or construction of facilities required at receipt or
delivery point(s) to effectuate the receipt or delivery of natural
gas hereunder, when the construction or modification of such
facilities is economically beneficial to Transporter.
For the purposes of determining whether a gas supply project
is economically beneficial to Transporter, Transporter will
evaluate each prospective project based upon the amount of the
reserves and deliverability characteristics of the gas supply to
be attached. Facility additions at receipt points shall be
evaluated based upon the incremental cost of service of the
facilities to be constructed by Transporter (including the cost of
real property rights acquisition), and the incremental revenues
which Transporter estimates will be generated as a result of
constructing and/or modifying such facilities.
For the purposes of determining whether a project to deliver
gas is economically beneficial to Transporter, Transporter will
evaluate each prospective project based upon the incremental cost
of service of the facilities to be constructed by Transporter
(including the cost of real property rights acquisition), and the
incremental revenues which Transporter estimates will be generated
as a result of constructing and/or modifying such facilities.
In estimating the revenues to be generated, Transporter will
calculate the revenues based upon its currently effective
transportation rates, exclusive of any surcharges such as of GRI,
SSP and ACA charges, and the projected incremental volumes which
will result from the project. Transporter will consider volumes
to be incremental if any of the following criteria are met:
