29.5 Pregranted Abandonment of Long-Term Gas
Transportation Contract for Firm Reserved Service and Contract
Extensions. Upon the expiration of the contractual term of a
Long-Term Gas Transportation Contract for Firm Reserved Service,
Transporter has pregranted authority to abandon that service and
Transporter shall have no further obligation to render service
under the Long-Term Gas Transportation Contract for Firm
Reserved Service pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act
and Section 284.221 (d) of the Commission’s Regulations, unless
(i) otherwise provided in the Long-Term Gas Transportation
Contract for Firm Reserved Service; or (ii) the Existing Shipper
elects to Exercise its right of first refusal as prescribed in
Section 29.6 below.
(a) Prior to the expiration of the term of a gas
transportation contract and prior to Transporter posting the
availability of capacity under Existing Shipper's Right of First
Refusal provisions, if applicable, Existing Shipper and
Transporter may mutually agree to an extension of the term of
the service agreement, the exact length of which is to be
negotiated on a case-by-case basis in a not unduly
discriminatory manner (“Initial Contract Extension”).
(b) Second Extension Option. If Transporter and
Shipper mutually agree to an Initial Contract Extension as
provided in Section 29.5 with a term of service of at least
five (5) years, then Shipper shall have two options for further
extending the term of service subsequent to the Initial Contract
Extension: 1) Shipper may elect to use the right of first
refusal process as prescribed in Section 29.6, or 2)
alternatively, Shipper may elect to have a unilateral Second
Extension Option. Shipper must notify Transporter of its
election in writing no later than the time of the execution of
the Initial Contract Extension. In the event Shipper fails to
notify Transporter of its election by the time of the execution
of the Initial Contract Extension, then Shipper shall be
provided only the right of first refusal process as prescribed
in Section 29.6.
