30. Tracking of Fuel Use Consumption or Btu Energy Tax
30.1 In the event that the Federal or any state govern-
ments enact a consumption or Btu energy tax (energy
tax) on fuel used by pipelines or on gas sold or
transported by pipelines, Texas Gas shall track the
cost of such tax and file semi-annually to recover
such costs. These costs shall be recovered through
adjustments and surcharges to the sales and transport
commodity rates contained in Texas Gas's FERC Gas
Tariffs, Original Volume No. 1, and First Revised
Volume No. 2-A.
30.2 Subsequent to the final passage of an applicable
energy tax law, Texas Gas shall file to adjust its
sales and transport rates to reflect projected energy
tax costs over the six-month period beginning with
the month the tax becomes effective. This projected
cost shall be divided by the projected commodity
sales and transport volumes for the same six months
to calculate the current commodity rate adjustment.
Texas Gas shall make such filings on a semi-annual
basis thereafter.
30.3 Commencing with the effective date of the applicable
energy tax law, Texas Gas shall debit such actual
costs to Account 186.xx, Deferred Energy Tax Account.
Any amounts collected by Texas Gas through the
current rate adjustment in Section 30.2 shall be
credited to Account 186.xx. A subaccount of Account
186.xx shall be maintained for the first three-month
period, with separate subaccounts being established
for six-month periods thereafter. Carrying charges
calculated in accordance with Section 154.305(h) of
the Commission's Regulations shall be charged on the
balances in the subaccounts.
