GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
32. NEGOTIATED RATES
32.1. Availability
Shipper and Transporter may agree to negotiated rates that may be
less than, equal to or greater than the maximum or minimum rates
applicable to service under Rate Schedules FTS, ITS or PAL, as
applicable; may be based on rate design other than straight fixed
variable; and may include a minimum quantity, production
dedication or other form of consideration. Under a Negotiated
Rate, Shipper and Transporter may agree to rates that differ from
the recourse rates for charges identified in Sections 3.2 and 3.3
of Rate Schedule FTS, Section 3.1 of Rate Schedule ITS or Sections
3.2 and 3.2 of Rate Schedule PAL, as applicable, and/or the fuel
retention percentage identified in Section 3.4(b) of Rate Schedule
FTS and Section 3.2(b) of Rate Schedule ITS. The applicable
maximum rates shall be available to any Shipper that does not
choose a Negotiated Rate.
32.2 Allocation of Capacity
Shippers paying a Negotiated Rate that exceeds the applicable
maximum rate will be considered to be paying the maximum rate for
purposes of scheduling, curtailment and interruption, and
calculating the economic value of a request for unsubscribed firm
capacity.
32.3 Bidding for ROFR Capacity
The cap for bidding for capacity under the right of first refusal
provisions in Section 15 of the General Terms and Conditions of
this FERC Gas Tariff is the maximum recourse rate.
32.4 Capacity Release
Replacement Shippers may not bid or pay rates greater than the
maximum applicable rates for capacity releases with a term of more
than one year and are not eligible for Negotiated Rates. Capacity
releases with a term of one year or less are not subject to the
foregoing maximum applicable rate ceiling. A Shipper that has
acquired firm capacity under a volumetric rate pursuant to
Transporter's Negotiated Rate provisions is not eligible to
release its capacity.
