12. Transporter shall credit the invoice of the releasing Shipper the
proceeds actually received by Transporter attributable to capacity rights
released by the releasing Shipper, less any administrative fees set forth in
Sections 13 and 14 of this Article XXXIII.
13. Transporter shall not be paid any administrative fee for capacity
release hereunder. Refer to NAESB Standard 5.3.23 for the adjustment of
tariff rates.
14. Transporter shall be entitled to retain 15% of the Monthly Demand
Charge for each month paid by a potential shipper for capacity released by a
Shipper when such Shipper requests Transporter takes action to market released
capacity beyond posting the information on the IPP, and locates the potential
shipper. Transporter will not be compensated, however, if it does not locate
the potential shipper, such as when the Shipper has a pre-arranged deal or
where a potential shipper accepts a posted Shipper Notice without Transporter
actively marketing that released capacity. On the bidding formats, the number
of decimal places for offers, bids, and awards should be equal to the number
of decimal places in the stated rates per pipeline rate schedule. 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.
15. Once the conditions of this Tariff are met and the terms and
conditions specified in the existing Shipper's offer to release are met, the
potential shipper and Transporter will execute an applicable service agreement
and the potential shipper will then be considered as any other Shipper on
Transporter's system. This service agreement will be available via the IPP,
and shall be executed and returned to the Transporter in accordance with the
provisions of Schedule B.
16. Except as provided in Section 17 of this Article XXXIII, any
assignment under this Article XXXIII shall be for monthly periods with a
minimum of at least one month, beginning at any time during a month, and shall
be for a maximum period expiring on the earlier of (1) the expiration date of
these tariff provisions, or (2) the expiration of the agreement that is
assigned when the assignment is for the full term of such agreement.
17. A Shipper may release any or all of its firm capacity for any period
thirty-one (31) days or less without complying with the notification and
bidding requirements of this Article XXXIII where such Shipper has located a
party to take its capacity and the release is posted by the Shipper on the IPP
as soon as possible, but not later than the first nomination, after the
release transaction commences. Such Shipper may not rollover, extend, or in
any way continue a release under this Section to the same party, unless
Shipper complies with the notification and bidding requirements of this
Article XXXIII, or the party qualifies for any of the other exemptions from
the notification and bidding requirements pursuant to Section 18. Otherwise,
Shipper may not release to the same party under this Section until twenty-
eight (28) days after the first release period has ended.
