19.SUPPLIER SETTLEMENT PAYMENT RECOVERY MECHANISM (Continued)
19.2 Definitions. (Continued)
(h) Interest Rate - The quarterly interest rate published by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and computed in
accordance with Section 154.67(c) of its regulations.
19.3 Determination of the Commodity SSP Surcharge. Transporter shall
determine the Commodity SSP Surcharge to be applicable for the
Total Recovery Period of April 1, 1989 through March 31, 1994, by
the following procedure:
(a) The Commodity SSP Surcharge for the Total Recovery Period
shall be based upon the applicable percentage, as defined in
paragraph (c) of subsection 19.2 herein, of the total SSP as
defined in paragraph (b) of subsection 19.2 herein. The
Total Commodity SSP Account balance at March 31, 1989 shall
then be divided by twenty (20), (the total number of calendar
year quarters within the total Recovery Period) to obtain the
initial surcharge rate and to assign equal principal amounts
to each quarterly recovery period. Transporter shall then
calculate a Commodity SSP Surcharge to be effective each
January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of the Total
Recovery Period by dividing (1) the total principal amount of
the Commodity SSP Account that is assignable to each
quarterly recovery period plus the applicable carrying
charges calculated pursuant to Section 154.67(c) of the
Commissions regulations by (2) one-fourth of the total
commodity billing determinants utilized in its most recent
rate case. Transporter shall adjust the Commodity SSP
Surcharge on each quarterly effective date to reflect
revisions to the appropriate interest rate and to reflect
additions to the Commodity SSP Account from the previous
quarter. The principal portion of any additional SSP costs
will be allocated evenly among the quarterly recovery periods
that remain in the Total Recovery Period.
