GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
33. RESERVATION OF CAPACITY FOR EXPANSION PROJECTS
33.1 Rights to Reserve Capacity
Southern Star may elect to reserve capacity required for a future
expansion project out of unsubscribed capacity or expiring
capacity under Service Agreements where such Service Agreements do
not have a right of first refusal or Shipper does not exercise its
right of first refusal. Southern Star may only reserve capacity
for a future expansion project for which an open season has been
held or will be held within one year of the date that Southern
Star posts such capacity as being reserved. Prior to reserving
capacity for an expansion project, Southern Star shall first post
for bid all of its available capacity on CSI for a minimum of five
(5) business days and award such capacity in accordance with the
terms of the posting.
33.2 Periods Southern Star May Reserve Capacity
Capacity may be reserved for expansion projects only during a 12-
month period prior to Southern Star filing for certificate
approval for construction or acquisition of proposed expansion
facilities, and following the certificate filing, only until 12
months after all expansion facilities related to the certificate
filing are placed into service, pursuant to Section 33.4, if no
certificate filing is required due to the size of the project,
then Southern Star may only hold the capacity for 12 months
following the date the facilities are placed in service.
33.3 Posting of Reserved Capacity
If Southern Star reserves capacity for an expansion project, it
will notify Shippers of its intent as part of Southern Star's
posting of capacity on CSI. Southern Star's posting for reserved
capacity for future expansion projects shall include the following
information: (a) a description of the project for which the
capacity will be reserved; (b) the total quantity of capacity to
be reserved; (c) the location of the proposed reserved capacity on
the pipeline system; (d) whether, and if so when, Southern Star
anticipates that an open season for the capacity will be held or
the reserved capacity will otherwise be posted for bids; (e) the
