2. APPLICABILITY AND CHARACTER OF SERVICE (continued)
2.9 Shipper may release all or a portion of its capacity under an RSS
Service Agreement to the extent permitted by, and subject to the
terms and conditions contained in, this section and Section 19 of
the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff. Also, the Shipper
may release separately its RSS transportation and storage rights
as described below, provided, however, that such capacity may not
be segmented. A Shipper releasing a portion of its total rights
under an RSS Service Agreement must designate how any existing RSS
Balance, as defined in Section 4 of this Rate Schedule, is to be
allocated among itself and the replacement Shipper(s).
(a) The releasing Shipper may release and assign solely the firm
transportation rights underlying its RSS service and any
such stand-alone firm transportation rights shall be subject
to the same limitations (inter alia, utilization subject to
capacity, and time limitations) applicable to the releasing
Shipper under Rate Schedule RSS except as may be explicitly
provided for herein. The replacement Shipper under any such
stand-alone release of transportation rights must comply
with nomination and scheduling requirements and Fuel Use and
LUFG retentions as would apply to service under Rate
Schedule FT. A releasing Shipper may not separately release
firm transportation rights which would impair its
obligations to replace during the Reverse Injection Period
its RSS Balance at the time of the release.
(b) The releasing Shipper may release and assign solely the
storage component (i.e., part or all of its withdrawal
rights at Storage Points of Withdrawal during the Reverse
Withdrawal Period along with the obligation to tender at
Storage Points of Injection during the Reverse Injection
Period quantities to replace those withdrawn) underlying its
RSS service. The replacement Shipper under any such stand-
alone release of storage rights must nominate and have
scheduled any desired withdrawals from or injection into its
storage account and must provide for Storage Fuel and
Storage LUFG retentions in the same manner as required under
Rate Schedule FSS and must also separately arrange for
transportation of such Gas from Storage Points of Withdrawal
or to Storage Points of Injection, as applicable.
