d. For the purposes of determining whether a project to
transport gas is economically beneficial to
Transporter, Transporter shall evaluate each
prospective project based upon the incremental cost
of the construction and operation of the facilities
to be constructed by Transporter, and the
incremental revenues that 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 the applicable transportation
rates, exclusive of any ACA and/or GRI charges,
and the projected incremental volumes expected to be
transported. Transporter will consider volumes to
be incremental if the volumes that will be
transported would not otherwise flow through
Transporter's system.
e. 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.
