GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 20
(Continued)
20.8 Mainline or Lateral Capacity Expansion Projects - Gulf Crossing
shall conduct an open season for all capacity expansion projects
on its system; provided, however, that a project shall not be
required for minor or auxiliary facilities, additions of receipt
and/or delivery facilities or facility modifications which do not
significantly alter the operational characteristics of the
pipeline system. Gulf Crossing shall post the terms of the open
season, including the criteria to be used to evaluate bids
pursuant to Section 8.1; provided, however, that an additional
posting pursuant to 8.1 shall not be required. The posting shall
include a listing of those meter locations that may be affected
by the expansion project and shippers utilizing such locations on
a primary firm basis may notify Gulf Crossing during the open
season of their interest in turning back capacity in the affected
area. During an open season, Gulf Crossing shall have the right
to establish a recourse rate (which shall not be higher than the
maximum applicable rate) and/or a minimum subscription level to
insure that the project is economically viable. In the event
there is insufficient capacity to meet the level of service
requested or the size of the project is reduced to meet demand,
Gulf Crossing shall allocate capacity among all shippers meeting
the requirements of Section 5 of these General Terms and
Conditions, on a pro rata basis unless another non-discriminatory
method is agreed to by the Customers, which submitted conforming
bids with the same net present value.
