GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Capacity Release
13. Whether the Releasing Customer will entertain contingent bids, and if so, (a)
the time period during which each contingent bidder must clear its
contingency, and (b) whether, and for what time period, the next-highest
bidder will be utilizing the subject capacity, or if no winning bidder is
currently utilizing the subject capacity, then to the bidder who submitted
its winning bid first in time; provided that if a Designated Replacement
Customer submits a "winning bid," then Pipeline must contract with such
Designated Replacement Customer.
14. Whether the Replacement Customer is an asset manager as defined in the
Commission's Regulations, 18 C.F.R. Section 284.8(h)(3) (2008) and whether
the offer is to be exempt from bidding pursuant to Section 23.2.E.2, above.
If the offer is to be exempt from bidding, the Releasing Customer must
disclose the asset manager's obligation to deliver gas to, or purchase from,
the Releasing Customer.
15. Whether the Replacement Customer is a marketer participating in a state-
regulated retail access program as defined in the Commission's Regulations,
18 C.F.R Section 284.8(h)(4) (2008) and whether the offer is to be exempt
from bidding pursuant to Section 23.2.E.3, above.
16. Any other conditions applicable to the release.
a. For releases with a term greater than one year, if the release
includes the aggregation of capacity on other pipelines in addition to
Pipeline, the maximum rate to be charged for such aggregated capacity
(by all parties) to Replacement Customer may not exceed the sum of the
maximum tariff rates applicable to each affected pipeline's service.
Releasing Customer is responsible for posting such aggregate releases
on the bulletin board of each pipeline upon which capacity is
released.
b. With the consent of the affected Releasing Customers, Pipeline may
combine releases posted by several Releasing Customers into one
replacement contract to improve marketability.
c. When releasing capacity under Rate Schedules GSS or GSS-E during the
Minimum Turnover Period, the Releasing Customer will be required to
respond to a query asking whether a specific Minimum Turnover
obligation (as described in, and if required by, Section 8.7 of Rate
Schedule GSS, Section 8.6 of Rate Schedule GSS-E, and GT&C Section
35.3.D) is a term of the release.
i. If a Minimum Turnover obligation is a term of the release, the
Releasing Customer will be prompted to specify the Minimum
Turnover obligation as either:
(1) a specific volume, or
(2) a specific percentage of the capacity being released.
ii. If a Minimum Turnover obligation is a term of the release and
the release includes a recall option, the Releasing Customer
will be required to respond to a query asking whether a method
of allocating a Minimum Turnover obligation with respect to
recalled capacity in the event of a recall for or during the
Minimum Turnover Period is a term of the release. If a method
of allocation is a term of the release, the Releasing Customer
will be prompted to specify one of the following methods:
(1) Minimum Turnover obligation reverts entirely to
Releasing Customer, or
(2) Minimum Turnover obligation remains entirely with
Replacement Customer, or
(3) Minimum Turnover obligation is allocated between
Releasing and Replacement Customers based on the number
of days the capacity was held during the Minimum
Turnover Period and the amount of capacity recalled.
