The tariff record identifies and describes the negotiated rate transaction, including the exact legal name of the shipper, the negotiated rates, the rate schedule, the contract terms, and the contract quantities.

Texas Eastern and PSEG ERT entered into a negotiated rate agreement to reflect the negotiated usage and fuel rates that were automatically passed through to PSEG ERT pursuant to the terms of the negotiated rate agreement with PSEG Power. Texas Eastern has executed a one-page letter agreement with PSEG ERT (see Appendix B), which has the sole purpose of indicating the parties agreement to the negotiated rate provisions on the pro forma Statement of Negotiated Rates attached to the letter agreement. The substantive provisions of the pro forma Statement of Negotiated Rates are identical to the provisions in the negotiated rate agreement with PSEG ERT in all respects. PROPOSED EFFECTIVE DATE Texas Eastern proposes that the tariff record filed herein become effective on November 1, 2012. Texas Eastern respectfully requests any waivers that may be required for the Commission to accept the tariff record filed herein to become effective on November 1, 2012. 1 2 15 U.S.C. 717c (2006). 18 C.F.R.
