4. AUCTIONS OF AVAILABLE FIRM SERVICE
This Section governs the manner in which requests for firm services shall be
accommodated by Transporter when capacity is or becomes available, unless
otherwise indicated in the applicable Rate Schedule. This Section applies to
existing firm capacity that may become available and not to new pipeline
capacity. Additional provisions governing auctions of service under
specific Rate Schedules are set forth in individual Rate Schedules in this
Tariff.
4.1 Circumstances Under Which Capacity Becomes Available.
(a) Termination of Short-Term Service Agreements. Upon the
termination of any firm Service Agreement having a term of less than one
year, the capacity associated with such terminated Service Agreement shall
be made available for bidding under the procedures described at Section 4.2
below, provided that: (i) the capacity is not previously committed under
the terms of this Tariff and (ii) facility capacity remains available.
(b) Continuing Service Under Certain Long-Term Agreements.
Transporter shall notify Shipper in writing of the upcoming expiration or
termination of any firm Service Agreement with a term of 12 or more
consecutive months of service at the applicable Recourse Rate for that
service or any firm multi-year seasonal Service Agreement at the applicable
Recourse Rate for that service (a long-term Service Agreement), and will
provide such notice at least 30 days before Shipper is obligated to notify
Transporter of its intent to exercise its right of first refusal or other
service continuation rights under the Service Agreement as described in
paragraph (c)(2) below. Upon completion of the term of any long-term
Service Agreement, Shipper shall have the right to continue receiving
service under that long-term Service Agreement if that Service Agreement is
at the Recourse Rate and (i) otherwise extends beyond that term according
to its terms, or (ii) does not provide for pregranted abandonment and
Shipper executes a new long-term Service Agreement at the Recourse Rate. If
the above requirements are not satisfied at the termination date of the
primary term of a long-term Service Agreement, service under that long-term
Service Agreement shall be subject to the termination and right of first
refusal provisions set forth at paragraph (c) below.
