GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 29
29. CAPACITY RELEASE
29.1 Capacity Release
This Section sets forth a firm capacity release mechanism under
which a Releasing Customer may release all or part of its firm
capacity to Gulf South for assignment to a Potential Customer or
a Prearranged Customer that submits the "best bid" for the
released capacity and enters into a service agreement with Gulf
South. A Releasing Customer may release its firm capacity on
Gulf South only under this Section. Capacity Release under this
section is governed by Section 284.8 of the Commission's
Regulations.
The rate charged to the Replacement Customer for a release of
firm transportation capacity may not exceed the applicable
maximum rate, except that no rate limitation applies to the
release of capacity for a period of one year or less if the
release is to take effect on or before one year from the date on
which Gulf South is notified of the release. Firm storage
service on Gulf South is subject to market based rates and no
maximum rate applies.
The following categories of capacity release are exempt from
bidding requirements: (1) a release of capacity to an asset
manager as defined in 18 C.F.R. Section 284.8(h)(3) ("Asset
Manager"); (2) a release of capacity to a marketer participating
in a state-regulated retail access program as defined in 18
C.F.R. Section 284.8(h)(4) ("Retail Access Marketer"); (3) a
release for more than one year at the maximum tariff rate; and
(4) a release for any period of 31 days or less (non-rollover).
(A) Capacity Eligible for Release
(1) A Releasing Customer may make eligible for release,
capacity which is held pursuant to either subpart B
or subpart G of Part 284 of 18 C.F.R.
(2) A Customer receiving firm transportation service
including the transportation and storage component of
NNS is permitted to release its firm capacity, in
whole or in part, on a permanent or temporary basis,
and on a firm or recallable basis; provided, however,
such capacity may only be released to the extent and
at such time as Gulf South enters into a service
agreement with a Replacement Customer.
(B) Notice Required by Releasing Customer and Gulf South
