GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
6. PRIORITY OF SERVICE
6.1 ALLOCATION OF CAPACITY
(a) GENERAL
This Section 6.1 governs the allocation of firm
capacity on Trailblazer's System among entities requesting firm
services. In assigning priority to otherwise valid requests for
any particular firm service, Trailblazer shall afford priority
based on rate, term, and volume, applying consistent and objective
economic criteria. Such criteria shall be consistent with Section
6.1(c) of these General Terms and Conditions. In applying such
criteria where a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula is
involved, the value assigned to a request which includes a
Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula shall be limited by the
Recourse Rate as provided in Section 38 of these General Terms and
Conditions. Trailblazer shall not be required to grant otherwise
valid requests at less than the applicable maximum rate, but may
do so on a non-discriminatory basis.
(b) CAPACITY AWARD PROCEDURES
This Section 6.1(b), together with Sections 6.1(c) and
21 of these General Terms and Conditions, sets out the procedures
to be followed by Trailblazer in awarding all firm forward haul
transmission segment capacity becoming available on its system;
provided, however, that these procedures do not apply to the
initial allocation of such firm capacity created by the
construction of new facilities (including both extensions and
expansions of Trailblazer's system).
(1) INITIAL OPEN SEASON
Trailblazer shall conduct an Initial Open Season
for all firm forward-haul transmission segment capacity becoming
available on its system; provided, however, that the Initial Open
Season procedure shall not apply (and the capacity shall not be
considered as available or becoming available) where an existing
Shipper has the right of first refusal or other rollover right
under Section 21 of these General Terms and Conditions unless and
until all such rollover rights have expired or, if the right of
first refusal is exercised, the right of first refusal process has
concluded and the capacity has not been awarded.
