(a) Notice by Releasing Shipper. A Releasing Shipper wanting to
release capacity shall notify Transporter electronically
(hereinafter called "Releasing Shipper's Notice"). Releasing
Shipper's Notice may include reasonable terms and conditions that
are objectively stated, applicable to all potential bidders, and
non-discriminatory, and shall include the following:
(1) Releasing Shipper's legal name, Transportation Service Agreement
Number, rate schedule, and the name, title, address, telephone
number, and fax number of the individual responsible for
authorizing the release of capacity.
(2) In accordance with NAESB Standard 5.3.26, Version 1.8, Releasing
Shipper has the choice to specify dollars and cents or percents of
maximum tariff rate in the denomination of bids and all
transportation service providers should support this. Once the
choice is made by the Releasing Shipper, the bids should comport
with the choice. In accordance with NAESB Standard 5.3.27,
Version 1.8, for purposes of bidding and awarding, maximum/minimum
rates specified by the Releasing Shipper should include the tariff
reservation rate and all demand surcharges, as a total number or
as stated separately. If a volumetric rate is used, Releasing
Shipper must indicate whether bids on a reservation charge basis
will be accepted as well and if so must specify the method of
evaluating the two types of bids. Releasing Shipper also should
indicate whether bids will be accepted on a dollar basis or as a
percentage of the Releasing Shipper's as-billed rate.
(3) Whether the release is firm or recallable, including the
specifics of any recall right. These provisions must be
objectively stated, nondiscriminatory, applicable to all bidders,
operationally and administratively feasible as determined by
Transporter and in accordance with Transporter's tariff.
(4) The maximum and minimum quantities of firm daily capacity in
Dth/d that Releasing Shipper elects to release (this must not
exceed Releasing Shipper's maximum contract demand available for
capacity release).
(5) The Primary Receipt Points and the Maximum Input Quantity
associated with each such point, and the Primary Delivery Points
and the Maximum Equivalent Quantity associated with each such
point.
