GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
(g) The Replacement Shipper's service under a release shall be
subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of the
Releasing Shipper's Service Agreement and governing rate schedule
and the Service Agreement executed by Replacement Shipper under
Section 12.6(i).
13. Assignment of Firm Transportation Capacity on Upstream Pipelines -
(a) Transporter will assign its upstream firm transportation capacity,
whether Part 284 or individually certificated (referred to as "upstream
capacity"), to its firm transportation and storage Shippers to the
extent necessary to provide capacity to such Shippers that desire
upstream capacity. Transporter shall not be required hereby to assign
firm capacity necessary to transport gas purchased by Transporter from
Great Plains Gasification Associates (or its successor), interruptible
capacity held by Transporter on upstream pipelines, firm capacity held
by Transporter on intrastate pipelines, or upstream exchange
transactions.
(b) All assignments pursuant to this Section 13 will be permanent and will be
effective on the date set forth in the Upstream Capacity Assignment
Agreement. Upon the effective date of such assignment, Transporter shall
be relieved of all rights and obligations associated with the assigned
upstream capacity, including but not limited to any and all charges, and
Transporter shall have no further liability of any kind with respect to
either the upstream capacity or the assignment; provided that with
respect to assignments of capacity held on project-financed pipelines
whose loan agreements require creditor approval of substitute shippers,
Transporter shall not be relieved of further liability with respect to
the upstream capacity or the assignment unless and until the project-
financed pipeline agrees to release the Transporter from such liability.
(c) Initial Assignments of upstream capacity shall occur hereunder pursuant
to 18 C.F.R. ? 284.242 during restructuring discussions in Docket No.
RS92-23 as provided in Section 13(e) ("Initial Assignment"). All Initial
Assignments pursuant to this Section 13(c) must be effectuated before
Transporter releases any capacity under the terms of an upstream
pipeline's capacity release mechanism contained in such upstream
pipeline's FERC Gas Tariff. If Transporter releases capacity under an
upstream pipeline's capacity release program, such capacity remains
available for permanent assignment; provided, however, that any release
made prior to the permanent assignment will remain in force for its term.
(d) Initial assignments of Transporter's upstream capacity shall be made in
the following manner:
i) Transporter will post on PASSKEY the following information: (1)
the upstream pipelines on which it holds firm capacity and the
firm capacity held; (2) the current rate; (3) the remaining
primary term; (4) relevant receipt and delivery point information;
and, (5) the quantity reserved by Transporter to fulfill its
limited sales service under Rate Schedule GS. This information
will be posted for a minimum twenty (20) day period commencing
November 2, 1992, during which time Shippers must submit written
requests or requests via PASSKEY for an assignment.
ii) To the extent Transporter receives more offers for specific
upstream firm transportation capacity than is actually available,
the capacity will be assigned based on the following priorities:
