circumstances. If Horizon determines that a waiver will not be granted, it
shall provide the Shipper with a written statement of the reasons for not
granting the waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all deliveries
actually made to an LDC in a specific zone may be aggregated at its CDPs
for accounting purposes.
7.14 SEGMENTATION
(a) Commencing on December 1, 2003, a Shipper may segment
its firm capacity to the extent operationally feasible through the
nomination process. In addition, any Shipper may segment its firm capacity
by releasing one or more segments of that capacity (the releasing Shipper
may retain one or more segments of its capacity), to the extent
operationally feasible, by following the procedures set out in Section 15
of these General Terms and Conditions. In the case of segmentation through
release, the Original Shipper may segment by nomination any portion of the
capacity it retains to the extent operationally feasible and the
Replacement Shipper may segment by nomination any portion of the capacity
it obtains in the release to the extent operationally feasible.
(b) For the purposes of this Section 7.14 and subject to
the other provisions hereof, whether segmentation is through nomination or
results from the release of firm capacity on a segmented basis, the primary
path under an Agreement may be segmented, and segmentation may extend
outside the primary path to the extent consistent with this Sections 7.14,
and such segmentation shall be deemed operationally feasible unless:
(1) the segmentation would result in an increase in
firm contractual obligation by Horizon on any segment or portion of its
system (through an overlap of segments);
(2) the segmentation would result in a forward-haul
in a direction opposite to the primary path of the Agreement being
segmented, as further set out in (e) below [backhauls are also addressed in
(e) below]; or
(3) the segmentation is inconsistent with Section
7.13(c) of these General Terms and Conditions.
(c) In the event a firm capacity path is segmented under
this Section 7.14, each segment shall have access to all secondary points
on Horizon's system, so long as Horizon's system is not zoned. Any point
which is outside the primary path for the segment shall be treated as out-
of-path secondary in relation to nominations for that segment. In the case
of a segmented release, if nominations result in an overlapping path,
through nomination at out-of-path secondary points, overrun charges
