The amounts presented primarily consist of fixed fees or MVCs which are typically recognized over time as the performance obligation is satisfied, in accordance with firm service contracts. For the Company's customers that are charged maximum tariff rates related to its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulated operating subsidiaries, the amounts below reflect the current tariff rate for such services for the term of the agreements; however, the tariff rates may be subject to future adjustment. The Company has elected to exclude the following from the table: (a) unsatisfied performance obligations from usage fees associated with its firm services because of the stand-ready nature of such services; and (b) consideration in contracts that is recognized in revenue as invoiced, such as for interruptible services. The estimated revenues reflected in the table may include estimated revenues that are anticipated under executed precedent transportation agreements for projects that are subject to regulatory approvals.
