GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Cont'd)
Prior to reserving Available Reservation Capacity for future expansion projects, Transporter shall
first make such capacity generally available to any Shipper or potential Shipper by posting such Available
Reservation Capacity for bidding through an open season for a time period of at least five (5) business days.
This Available Reservation Capacity open season posting shall contain the posting information required by
General Terms and Conditions Section 4.2(a)(i) - (vi) and shall conform to the bidding and capacity award
procedures of General Terms and Conditions Sections 4.2(b) - (g). When the Available Reservation Capacity
open season is held prior to the expansion project open season, Transporter shall have the right to state in
the Available Reservation Capacity open season posting minimum terms and conditions for bids that would be
acceptable for consideration that are the same as the minimum terms and conditions anticipated for the future
expansion project open season. In the event that the subsequent expansion project open season imposes minimum
terms and conditions that are materially different from the terms and conditions imposed in the previous
Available Reservation Capacity open season, Transporter shall hold another open season for the Available
Reservation Capacity that uses the same minimum terms and conditions as were imposed for the expansion project
open season. If the expansion project open season is held prior to or during the Available Reservation
Capacity open season, Transporter shall use the same minimum terms and conditions as used for the expansion
project open season.
Available Reservation Capacity may only be reserved in the 12-month period prior to the filing of the
7(c) certificate application or request for prior notice authorization pursuant to Transporter's blanket
construction certificate. Any Available Reservation Capacity reserved pursuant to this Section 4.2(i) for an
expansion project that does not go forward because Transporter does not file any required application with the
Commission within one year from such reservation date, or because Transporter ultimately does not receive
authorization, shall be posted as generally available within 30 days of the date the capacity becomes available
subject to then existing commitments for the capacity.
Transporter postings for reserved Available Reservation Capacity shall include the following
information: (a) a description of the expansion 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 Transporter anticipates that an open season for the capacity will be held
or it will otherwise be posted for bids under the expansion; (e) the projected in-service date of the
expansion projects; and (f) on a rolling basis, how much of the reserved capacity has been sold on a limited-
term basis. Transporter shall make reasonable efforts to update the reservation posting to reflect material
changes in the expansion project up to the in-service date of the expansion project. The reservation posting
shall also include a non-binding solicitation (or reverse open-season) for turnback capacity from
Transporter's existing shippers to serve the expansion project, provided that Transporter shall post the non-
binding solicitation for turnback capacity no later than 90 days after the close of the expansion project open
season.
