GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
31. QUALIFICATION FOR SERVICE (Cont'd.)
on such list unless Shipper notifies Transporter, within
thirty (30) days of Transporter's notification of rejection,
that its request should remain so entered.
Upon receipt of such written notification by Shipper,
Shipper's request will remain entered for an additional six
(6) months, and for additional six (6) month periods
thereafter provided that Shipper notifies Transporter in
writing, prior to the conclusion of a six (6) month period,
that it requests an extension.
(b) A Service Agreement (or, when tendered by Transporter in
response to a request for firm service that requires the
construction of facilities, a precedent agreement) shall be
executed by Shipper and Transporter following Transporter's
acceptance in writing of Shipper's request for service.
Subject to Section 26 of the General Terms and Conditions of
this tariff, in the event the Service Agreement or precedent
agreement is not executed by Shipper and returned within
thirty days after Transporter tendered the contract,
Transporter shall consider the request for service invalid.
31.4 New Facilities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Tariff, if
the service requested by Shipper would require the
construction of lateral or other non-mainline facilities by
Transporter, Transporter may require (i) of a non-creditworthy
Shipper, security for a value up to the cost of such
facilities, with respect to Shipper's reimbursement
obligations under Section 28.1 (if any) and, in addition to
any security required by Subsection 31.2(a), Shipper's
obligations under its service agreement, and (ii) of a
creditworthy Shipper, a commitment to provide the security
identified in clause (i) of this Subsection 31.4 in the event
Shipper becomes non-creditworthy. In no event shall the
amount of the security exceed the cost of the facilities, and
in the event facilities are to be constructed to accommodate
more than one shipper, such amount shall not exceed the cost
of the facilities allocable to Shipper. This Tariff does not
govern the security requirements applicable to mainline
facility projects.
