applicable to Transporter's capacity release program.
28.2 Applicability. This section is applicable to any Releasing

a portion of its firm capacity under Rate Schedule FT. Releasing
Shipper(s) shall have the right to release, on a permanent or
temporary basis, any portion of its firm capacity rights held under
a TSA with Transporter, but only to the extent that the capacity so
released is acquired by another Shipper pursuant to this section.
28.3 Availability of Released Capacity. Released capacity shall be made
