11. CAPACITY RELEASE
This Section 11 sets forth a firm capacity release mechanism subject to the
provisions of Subpart G of Part 284 of the Commission’s Regulations, pursuant
to which existing Shippers can voluntarily release and assign all or part of
their firm service rights to (1) a shipper(s) that has executed a capacity
release umbrella agreement and has acquired all or part of the firm service
rights of a firm shipper through the Pipeline’s capacity release procedures
(Replacement Shipper), or (2) a Replacement Shipper(s) that has executed a
capacity release umbrella agreement and is specifically designated by the
shipper releasing capacity to obtain its released capacity (Prearranged
Shipper). Shippers may release and assign their firm capacity on Pipeline
under any firm, open access Service Agreement only under this Section 11 of
Pipeline's GT&Cs (Releasing Shipper). Pipeline will use an open bidding format
and will post each Releasing Shipper's offer to release capacity (herein
called Releasing Shipper's Notice) and all the bids against that Releasing
Shipper's Notice, provided that bidders' names shall not be posted except for
the names of the Successful Bidders. Bids are to be based on the Reservation
Rate only, provided the Reservation Rate may be converted into a volumetric
charge. The maximum rate for such volumetric releases shall be no greater
than the 100% load factor equivalent of Pipeline’s maximum Reservation Rate
currently applicable to the service released as set forth Tariff Sheet No. 7.
For purposes of this Section 11, a Shipper is entitled to specify a rate for
capacity to be released equal to the maximum Reservation Rate, plus all
applicable surcharges.
