18.2 When new and/or expanded facilities, other than those
specified in Section 18.1 above, are required to
accommodate the delivery of gas under this FTS Rate
Schedule and Transporter determines that installation
of such facilities will be economically beneficial to
Transporter or provide increased business opportunities
for Transporter and will not impair service to any
Shipper or threaten the integrity of Transporter's
system, Transporter shall construct such facilities.
18.3 In situations where Shipper is required to pay for the
total cost of the new facilities, Shipper's payment for
the cost of the new facilities shall include the full
cost of the facilities, the tax burden created by the
payment, as well as the tax-on-tax effect generated by
such payment. The allowance for income tax
reimbursement shall be computed by taking into
consideration three elements: (1) the current taxes on
the "contribution in aid of construction" (CIAC), less
(2) the present value (computed using a discount rate
equal to Transporter's overall rate of return) of
future tax deductions for depreciation that will be
available from the constructed facilities, plus (3) the
tax-on-tax effect of the first two elements, all of
which should be computed through use of tax rates that
are in effect when the contributions are received,
i.e., Tax Reimbursement = (Tax Rate x (CIAC-Present
Value of Tax Depreciation)) x (1 +(Tax Rate/(1-Tax
Rate))). The present value of the tax benefit provided
by the future depreciation of plant shall be determined
by Transporter.
18.4 Transporter shall bill Shipper for reimbursement of
additional facilities in accordance with Section 6 of
Transporter's General Terms and Conditions. All
facilities installed by Transporter under this Section
18 shall be owned and operated by Transporter.
