"changes the numbers slightly from a 12, 6, and 12, and that means 12 cents on the gas treatment plant, 6 on the pipeline, 12 on the LNG facility, into a 13, 6, 13. So it's a small increment above that. And again, this is a weighted average... roughly it would work out to a 10.5 to 11 cents, per my own math, the effective volumetric tax on the average molecule going through the system"

That is already there. It changes the numbers slightly from a 12, 6, and 12, and that means 12 cents on the gas treatment plant, 6 on the pipeline, 12 on the LNG facility, into a 13, 6, 13. So it's a small increment above that. And again, this is a weighted average. There's a mechanism by which the, uh, that's the capital costs would get weighted based on actual construction, and then, uh, roughly it would work out to a 10.5 to 11 cents, per my own math, the effective volumetric tax on the average molecule going through the system.
The House Finance Committee voted 11-0 Wednesday to advance a major natural gas pipeline bill after adopting amendments that restructure municipal taxes and increase community impact aid to $80 million.

The Alaska House Finance Committee voted 7-4 Wednesday to strip municipalities of their ability to negotiate separate tax structures for the proposed gas pipeline. The change drew opposition from committee leadership despite passing. North Slope Borough officials said they wanted to keep control over resources in their region.
