GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
32. CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES
Any existing or potential Shipper may request a new interconnection on
Transporter's pipeline system, subject to the following conditions being met.
Transporter shall have no obligation to modify its existing facilities or
construct new facilities in order to receive or deliver Shipper's gas unless
otherwise ordered by the Commission. However, if a Shipper requests new or
additional transportation service and Transporter is agreeable to providing
the requested service it will do so on the following terms, unless otherwise
agreed to in writing, on a not unduly discriminatory basis:
A. If Transporter agrees to construct, own and operate lateral pipelines
(if applicable), metering and regulating facilities that include electronic
measurement and data communication equipment (if applicable) and/or new and/or
additional points of delivery to such Shipper or points of receipt from such
Shipper: (1) the metering and regulating facilities shall be installed at
point(s) which, in Transporter's reasonable judgment, is the most practical,
convenient and readily accessible location; (2) the lateral pipeline (if any)
shall be installed by use of not less than a nominal four-inch (4") diameter
pipe; (3) the Shipper will provide all exhibits necessary to support the
proposed service for any needed FERC proceedings and; (4) the Shipper will
contribute an aid-to-construction amount to Transporter which is equal to the
cost of the additional facilities including all costs involved in filing any
applications, pursuing said approvals, and in obtaining all licenses and
permits required for the services or construction and, further, amounts
necessary to reimburse any costs, including any income taxes that may be
incurred by Transporter as a result of the contribution. Transporter and
Shipper will agree on which party will construct and/or own and/or operate any
facilities to be constructed.
B. Shippers, whether new or existing, shall bear all costs and expenses
attributable to the construction of any lateral pipelines or expansions of
existing lateral pipelines. Nothing in this section shall require Transporter
to file an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity
under Section 7.C of the Natural Gas Act seeking authorization to construct
any such facilities. Nothing in this section shall prevent Transporter from
contesting an application for service filed pursuant to Section 7(a) of the
Natural Gas Act. Transporter reserves the right to seek a waiver of the policy
set forth herein, for good cause shown, during any proceeding before the
Commission instituted under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
