RATE SCHEDULE FSS
FIRM STORAGE SERVICE (Continued)
Within five (5) Business Days following Transporter's receipt of a
valid Request for Service from a Shipper requesting service under
this Rate Schedule FSS, Transporter shall solicit proposals from
third-party providers for off-system firm storage services to be
provided at Points of Receipt and Delivery on Transporter's
system. Transporter shall allow third-party providers fifteen
(15) Business Days to respond to Transporter's solicitation. Such
off-system storage services may include related transportation
services to and from Transporter's system. Transporter shall
select the best third-party proposal on the basis of (1) the
degree to which the proposal matches the service requested by
Shipper, and (2) the proposal with the lowest cost. Upon
determining the best proposal, Transporter shall negotiate market-
based rates with its prospective Shipper. If Transporter and
Shipper reach agreement as to market-based rates, Transporter
shall execute the service agreement(s) with the third-party
provider for off-system firm storage and related transportation
services and Transporter and Shipper shall execute the Service
Agreement for service under this Rate Schedule FSS. Transporter
shall not be obligated to honor Shipper's Request for Service if
Transporter does not receive an acceptable response to its
solicitation of off-system capacity or if Transporter and Shipper
are unable to agree upon rates for firm storage services.
Shipper's rights to extend service under its Service Agreement,
including any rights of first refusal, shall be limited by
Transporter's rights to extend the term of its service agreements
for off-system firm storage and related transportation services,
provided that such limitations on Transporter's right to extend
its off-system capacity arrangements must be specified in a third-
party provider's tariff and/or as provided by FERC's regulations.
Transporter shall employ the same process as stated above for
requests for the Firm Storage Service component of service under
Rate Schedule NNS except that, instead of negotiating market-based
rates, Transporter shall calculate cost-based rates consisting of
the pass-through of all costs under Transporter's service
agreements with third-party providers for off-system firm storage
and related transportation services. Transporter shall provide to
Shipper a detailed explanation of its calculation of the cost-
based rates.
