3. VALID REQUESTS
3.1 A request for service under this Rate Schedule FTS shall
be valid as of the date received if it complies with this Section
and contains adequate information on all of the items specified in
Section 3.2, subject to any necessary verification of such
information and to the following:
(a) A request shall not be valid and Natural shall not
be required to grant any such request: (i) for which adequate
capacity is not available on any portion of Natural's transmission
system (including primary Receipt and primary Delivery Points)
necessary to provide such service; (ii) as to which Natural does not
have the operational capability to effect receipt, transportation
and/or delivery on a firm basis consistent with the terms and
conditions of this Rate Schedule FTS; (iii) which, except as
provided for in Section 3.1(b) hereof, would require the
construction, modification, expansion, or acquisition of any
facilities; provided, however, that Natural may agree in its
reasonable discretion to construct, modify, expand, or acquire
facilities to enable it to perform such services; (iv) unless and
until Shipper has provided Natural with the information required in
Section 3.2 hereof; (v) if Natural determines, based on the credit
analysis referenced in Section 3.2(h), that Shipper does not possess
sufficient financial stability to make it reasonably likely the
service provided hereunder will be paid for on a timely basis; (vi)
if the service requested would not comply with this Rate Schedule
FTS; or (vii) if the service requested is at less than the
applicable maximum rate; provided, however, that Natural may agree
to provide service hereunder at a discount consistent with this Rate
Schedule FTS. Natural may also reject any request, or may limit the
term of the FTS Agreement granted to Shipper, in the event the
service requested would utilize a portion of Natural's system such
that a bottleneck would be created that would likely prevent
Natural from utilizing upstream or downstream portions of its
