(13) The specific non-discriminatory, objective criteria under which contingent bids would
be accepted. Releasing Shipper must specify whether and, if so, for what time period,

charged is on a volumetric basis. Releasing Shipper may state the minimum volumetric
basis as either a quantity in Dth or as a percentage of the maximum total quantity
that could be transported under the terms of the capacity release transaction. If no
minimum volumetric commitment is provided, the minimum shall be deemed to be zero (0).

integrated transportation path or the ability to withdraw an offer to release after a
valid bid has been placed and the reasons that such a withdrawal would be made.
