GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
4.2 Capacity Reserved for Future Expansion/Extension Projects.
Transporter may elect to reserve for future expansion/extension
projects, any unsubscribed capacity or capacity under expiring or
terminating Firm Transportation Service Agreements ("FTSAs") where
such FTSAs do not have a right of first refusal ("ROFR") or Shipper
does not exercise its ROFR.
(a) Capacity may be reserved up to one year prior to the date of
filing for certificate approval for construction of proposed
expansion or extension facilities, and thereafter until all
expansion/extension facilities related to the certificate
filing are placed into service.
(b) Transporter shall conduct an open season for the
expansion/extension within one year prior to or following the
date that Transporter posts such capacity as being reserved.
Transporter will not, absent Commission approval, accept
advance payments to reserve capacity under this Section 4.2.
(c) If Transporter elects to reserve capacity, it will notify
Shippers of its intent as part of its posting of capacity on
its EBB. Transporter's posting for reserved capacity for
future expansion/extension projects shall include the following
information: (i) a description of the project for which the
capacity will be reserved; (ii) the total quantity of capacity
to be reserved; (iii) the location of the proposed reserved
capacity on the pipeline system; (iv) whether, and if so when,
Transporter anticipates that an open season for the capacity
will be held or the reserved capacity will otherwise be posted
for bids; (v) the projected in-service date of the new
facilities; and (vi) on an ongoing basis, how much of the
reserved capacity has been sold on a limited-term basis that
would otherwise be eligible for a ROFR. If the
expansion/extension project still requires the construction of
facilities given the amount of reserved capacity, then
Transporter shall post a non-binding solicitation for turnback
capacity no later than 90 days after the close of the expansion
project open season, specifying the minimum term for a response
to the solicitation. Transporter shall make reasonable efforts
to notify shippers of any material changes in the scope of the
project.
