GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
4. ALLOCATION OF CAPACITY ENTITLEMENTS
4.1 Pipeline will allocate pipeline capacity in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of
the GT&C.
(a) Pipeline capacity that is or becomes available from time
to time not as a result of an expansion or extension
under Section 4.1(b) of the GT&C, will be allocated on a
first-come, first-served basis, which will be determined
by Request Date. If there are two or more Requests with
the same Request Date, any available pipeline capacity
will be pro rated between or among such Requests. For
pipeline capacity allocation purposes, pro rated means
to allocate capacity to a potential customer based on
the net present value, based upon a discount rate equal
to the rate, as of the date of the review, stated in
accordance with Section 154.501(d) of the Commission's
regulations. To the extent Pipeline has available
unsubscribed capacity for which there are no pending
Requests, Pipeline reserves the right to, but shall not
be obligated to, reserve such capacity for future open
seasons that are to be held within the next six (6)
Months.
(b) All Customers and potential customers are put on notice
that Pipeline may, but is not required to, from time to
time, in addition to constructing facilities under GT&C
Section 17, conduct periodic open seasons for the
purpose of evaluating market interest to expand and/or
extend Pipeline's transportation system. If Pipeline
does conduct an open season, any additional pipeline
capacity made available by such expansion and/or
extension will be allocated under the terms and
conditions of such open season. However, any potential
customer which has submitted a Request which meets the
requirements of Section 3 of the GT&C will be informed
in writing of any such open season and will have the
opportunity to participate in such open season. If any
such potential customer in Pipeline's service queue is
informed of an open season and elects to not participate
in the open season, such potential customer's Request
will remain in Pipeline service queue but such potential
customer will have no right to any firm pipeline
capacity and/or receipt or delivery point capacity made
available as a result of such open season. If Pipeline
conducts an open season for pipeline capacity associated
with the facilities of Maritimes & Northeast Limited
Partnership or any other upstream
