(b) The economic value of request(s) for service rights shall be
the net present value of the reservation charges and usage
charges that Shipper would pay at the rates Shipper has
requested, which shall not be less than the minimum rate nor
greater than the maximum rates as stated on the currently
effective Tariff sheet governing such services over the term
of service specified in the request(s), utilizing as the
annual discount factor FERC's currently effective Section
154.501(d) interest rate. Shippers requesting service at a
Negotiated Rate which exceeds the maximum rate will be
considered to be paying the maximum rate for purposes of
determining the economic value of request(s) for service
rights.
(c) Within thirty (30) Days of the date firm capacity becomes
available on Transporter's system, Transporter shall tender
Transportation Agreements to potential Shipper(s) whose
request(s) for firm service can be accommodated through the
capacity that becomes available in accordance with the order
established under section 30.2(a).
If Transporter tenders a Transportation Agreement, but does not
receive the executed Transportation Agreement within thirty (30)
Days from the date the Transportation Agreement is sent, the
request for service rights shall expire without prejudice to the
prospective Shipper's right to submit a new request for service
rights. In the event the prospective Shipper returns a
Transportation Agreement with a rate less than that used to
determine the economic value of the request or with a term less
than that used to determine the economic value of the request or
both, Transporter shall redetermine the economic value of the
Shipper's request in accordance with section 30.2(b) hereof. If
the request continues to qualify for service, and Transporter
agrees to the rate, Transporter shall execute the Transportation
Agreement. If the request does not continue to qualify for
service, the Transportation Agreement shall be deemed null and
void, and the prospective Shipper's request shall be modified in
accordance with the terms proposed by the prospective Shipper.
