GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
A. Procedures to Obtain Interruptible Capacity
To obtain interruptible capacity, Shippers must have executed a Service Agreement
under Rate Schedule ITS-1 or ITS-WD, and must comply with the nomination procedures
set forth at Section 10 of these General Terms and Conditions.
B. Procedures to Obtain Firm Capacity
If and when any Market Area firm capacity on existing facilities becomes available,
other than through the capacity relinquishment program set forth in Section 18,
Transporter shall conduct an Open Season for such capacity. Notice of the Open
Season shall be posted on Transporter's Internet website for a period of not less
than seven (7) days. Shippers or potential Shippers interested in obtaining
capacity must submit a request, in writing or electronically, during the specified
Open Season. Requests must follow the format set forth in Section 3 of the rate
schedule under which the firm capacity is available. Transporter will satisfy all
requests which are feasible given existing facilities and existing MDTQ and MDQ and
which can be fulfilled without impairment of firm capacity rights held by any other
Shipper or without reducing the total contractual entitlements on Transporter's
system. To the extent Transporter is unable to satisfy all of the requests and in
the event all competing bids reflect a straight fixed variable rate design,
Transporter shall award the capacity or portion thereof based on the request with
the highest present value of the reservation charges for the subject capacity not
exceeding the maximum rate applicable to such capacity; provided that Transporter
shall not be required to satisfy any request for capacity at less than maximum
rate, as it may be adjusted from time to time. For the purposes of determining the
best bid and allocating capacity, Shippers willing to pay more than the maximum
tariff rate will be considered to be paying the maximum tariff rate. In the event
competing bids reflect different rate forms, Transporter shall award the capacity
or portion thereof based on the request with the highest present value of the total
expected revenues for the subject capacity, not exceeding revenues based on the
maximum 100% load factor tariff rate applicable to such capacity. Transporter will
calculate the expected usage revenues from each bidder by applying the expected
load factor for each bidder to the volumetric portion of such bid. Transporter
shall prorate the available capacity among requests yielding an equivalent net
present value.
