The Commission held that the revised tariff sheets generally complied with its prior orders and requirements for negotiated rates. However, the Commission required Equitrans to additionally modify Sections 30.3 and 30.4 of its General Terms and Conditions to provide that when evaluating competing recourse and negotiated rate proposals, only the reservation charge or other form of guaranteed revenue may be considered and that guaranteed revenue will be considered in evaluating capacity release revenue. Equitrans states that the proposed revisions to Section 30.3 and 30.4 of the General Terms and Conditions clarify that reservation charges will be used to compare discounted and recourse rates for capacity allocation, curtailment, and capacity release purposes. Equitrans states that copies of this rate filing were served on the parties to this proceeding, as well as Equitrans' jurisdictional customers and interested state commissions. Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure.
