GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
such as GRI and ACA charges, and the projected incremental
volumes expected to be transported. Overthrust will
consider volumes to be incremental if the volumes that will
be transported would not otherwise flow through Overthrust's
system.
25.4 The economic value of a project shall be
determined using the discounted cash flow rate of return
methodology. The minimum acceptable rate of return may be
published from time to time on Overthrust's EBB.
When the present value of the incremental revenues from
the project is greater than the present value of the
incremental cost of service, Overthrust 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.
25.5 Shipper's payment for the cost of the new
facility shall include the full cost of the facility, the
tax burden created by the payment as well as the tax-on-tax
effect generated by such payment. Reimbursement for federal
income taxes on Shipper's payment will be computed by first
determining the tax-on-tax effect, and then deducting the
present value of the future tax benefit provided by the
future depreciation of plant involved in the payment for the
cost of the new facility.
The tax-on-tax effect will be determined by the product
of (a) the dollar amount qualifying as a contribution in aid
of construction under the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and (b) the
"tax rate" divided by 1 minus the tax rate:
i.e. [(Tax Rate) / (1-Tax Rate)]
The present value of the tax benefit provided by the
future depreciation of plant shall be determined by
Overthrust.
25.6 When Overthrust has previously paid for receipt
or delivery point facilities under this facilities-
reimbursement policy, Shipper shall, nevertheless, promptly
pay Overthrust for Overthrust's net book value of such
facilities when either of the following events occur: (1)
when Overthrust's ability to fully recover such costs is
denied in any Section 4 or Section 5 rate proceeding, or (2)
