This Article sets forth the specific terms and conditions which

shall apply on a uniform, non-discriminatory basis to the right

29.2 Applicability

This Article is applicable to any customer that has executed a

service agreement for firm transportation. Any such customer

shall have the right to release any portion of the firm

released is acquired by a Replacement Customer pursuant to the

terms of this Article.

29.3 General Provisions

Any firm customer is eligible to release its firm transportation

capacity for use by a Replacement Customer subject to the provi

sions of this Article.
