FTS-2 RATE SCHEDULE
FIRM TRANSPORTATION SERVICE (Continued)
(e) Under normal operating conditions, a Shipper under this Rate Schedule may segment its
transportation capacity between primary physical receipt and delivery points, and secondary physical receipt
and delivery points at which it does not have primary receipt and delivery rights under its FTS-2 Service
Agreement. For purposes of this section, virtual aggregation points under Rate Schedule AS and virtual
scheduling points that represent physical receipt or delivery points (MLI Points) are eligible receipt or
delivery points for segmentation purposes. Supply pooling points under Rate Schedule IPP are not eligible
receipt or delivery points for segmentation purposes. For purposes of this Section 2(e), the phrase "normal
operating conditions" shall be defined to mean those situations in which Transporter is not required to: (i)
construct or install new facilities in order to accommodate a capacity segmentation request from a Shipper
under this Rate Schedule; or (ii) operate or modify Transporter's existing facilities in a manner
inconsistent with the current design and operation of such facilities in order to accommodate a capacity
segmentation request from a Shipper under this Rate Schedule. A Shipper may not use its segmented primary or
secondary physical points in such a way that its total nomination within any segment, or at any primary or
secondary points exceeds its original Transportation Demand in that segment, or at such point(s), provided
that, Shipper may segment its capacity to consist of forward hauls and backhauls up to the original
Transportation Demand to the same point at the same time, subject to the scheduling and allocation provisions
of Section 7 of the General Terms and Conditions. For such a segmentation backhaul to the same point,
Transporter shall provide such service on a secondary basis. Shipper shall not be permitted to segment its
transportation capacity under this Rate Schedule if such segmentation would limit Transporter's ability to
provide firm service to other Shippers or in situations where transportation capacity is not available in
particular segments or at primary or secondary points. Requests for segmentation of transportation capacity
under this Rate Schedule must be submitted by Shipper and Transporter shall evaluate such requests to
determine if capacity segmentation can be permitted as requested by Shipper. Transporter reserves the right
to evaluate and disallow segmentation on a case-by-case basis for those situations that are not operationally
feasible and not already described in this Section 2(e). Transporter shall review all properly submitted
requests for segmentation in zones where there are feasibility issues within ten (10) days, provided,
however, Transporter shall use reasonable efforts to accommodate a Shipper if a request for segmentation is
made less than ten (10) days before the desired effective date. Disallowance of segmentation requests will
be made on a non-discriminatory basis. Transporter will post on its EBB within 10 business days, the
explanation for any disallowance of segmentation not specifically described in this Tariff. Transporter will
post on its EBB the reasons for denial of any request for capacity segmentation.
(f) Service rights under an FTS-2 Service Agreement may be released and assigned in accordance
with Section 14 (Release and Assignment of Service Rights) of the General Terms and Conditions. Service
to an assignee under any such release and assignment shall be subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Rate Schedule and in the General Terms and Conditions. Under normal operating conditions, a
Shipper that releases its service rights under an FTS-2 Service Agreement may release transportation capacity
on any segment between primary physical receipt and delivery points, and secondary physical receipt and
delivery points at which it does not have primary receipt and delivery rights under its FTS-2 Service
Agreement. A Releasor may not re-release a released segment until such time as the Releasor either recalls
the released segment or the released segment reverts to the Releasor at the end of the release term.
Replacement Shippers that desire to re-release a released segment may release transportation capacity within
their acquired capacity segment and to any points within the zone for which the Shipper pays. The sum of
capacity released in any segment cannot exceed the Releasor's original Transportation Demand.
