(1.4) In determining a tariff and expressing it in dollars per m3

under subsections (1.1)(

a) and (1.3)(a), if the pipeline for which

the tariff is being determined is subject to a take or pay contract,

the volume shipped on the pipeline for a month shall be

considered to be an amount equivalent to

(

a) the minimum volume for which the lessee or operator of

the Project is obligated to provide payment for that

month under the take or pay contract, in cases where the

operator ships the minimum volume or less,

(

b) the minimum volume which the lessee or operator of the

Project is obligated to provide payment for that month

under the take or pay contract, plus any additional

volumes shipped under the take or pay contract, in a

case where the operator ships more than the minimum

volume, or

the Project and continues to a point at or near Hardisty,

Alberta or Edmonton, Alberta,

(

b) the Project CCB of the Project is contained in a single

oil sands product recovered from the development area

of the Project, and

(

c) all of the volume of the single oil sands product

recovered from the development area of the Project and

transported during a month can be accounted for as

having been transported on the removal pipelines

referred to in clause (a),

then the transportation allowance for the Project for the month

referred to in clause (

c) is to be determined under subsection

(2.2).

(2.2) The transportation allowance for a month for a Project to

which subsection (2.1) applies is the sum of

(

a) the average of the transportation rates for that month for

the removal pipelines determined under subsection (3),

(5) or (6), as the case may be, weighted according to the

respective volumes of oil sands product recovered from

the development area of the Project and transported on

each removal pipeline during that month, and

(

b) the transportation rate determined under subsection

(8) or (9) for the month for the diluent pipeline, if any, for

the Project for that month.

e) in subsection (6) by striking out "m3" wherever it

occurs and substituting "m3";

(

f) by repealing subsection (8) and substituting the

following:

(8) Subject to subsection (9), the transportation rate for a month

of the diluent pipeline for a Project for the month is the amount

determined by dividing

(

a) the amount, if any, that would be charged under the

tariff during the month for the diluent pipeline to

transport the volume of diluent determined under

subsection (8.1) to

(

i) the Project, or

(ii) a blending facility specified by the Minister, if the

Minister is of the opinion that the Project CCB for

the month is blended with diluent at a blending

facility located off Project lands in order to

facilitate transport,

(

b) the NQ for the Project for the month.

(8.1) For the purposes of subsection (8)(a), the volume of diluent

is to be determined by multiplying the NQ of the Project for the

month by the BVM Diluent volume for the Project for the month

determined under

section 3(2).

Section 6 is repealed.
