RATE SCHEDULE PALS
4. VALID REQUESTS FOR PALS AGREEMENT(S) AND FOR PALS RO(S)
4.1 A request for service under this Rate Schedule PALS shall be valid
as of the date received if it complies with this Section 4 and contains
adequate information on all of the items specified in Sections 4.3(a) and
4.3(b), subject to any necessary verification of such information and to the
following:
(a) A request shall not be valid and TransColorado shall not be
required to grant any such request: (1) which could in TransColorado's
judgment interfere with efficient operation of its system or with service to
any firm Shipper; (2) which would require the construction, modification,
expansion, or acquisition of any facilities to enable it to perform such
services; provided, however, that TransColorado may agree in its reasonable
discretion to construct, modify, expand, or acquire any facilities; (3) unless
and until Shipper has provided TransColorado with the information required in
Section 4.2 hereof and the assurances required under Section 1.3 hereof; (4) if
TransColorado determines, based on the credit analysis referenced in Section
4.2(d), 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; (5) if the service requested would not comply with this Rate Schedule
PALS; or (6) if the service requested is at less than the applicable maximum
rate; provided, however, that TransColorado may agree to provide service
hereunder at a discount consistent with this Rate Schedule PALS. Nothing
herein is intended to govern the scheduling and curtailment of service once a
request for service has been granted pursuant to Section 4 hereof and while
Agreements under this Rate Schedule are in effect. Such matters are governed
by Section 3 of this Rate Schedule and the applicable General Terms and
Conditions of this Tariff.
(b) TransColorado may agree, however, to construct, modify,
expand or acquire facilities to perform service under this Rate Schedule PALS
on a non-discriminatory basis whenever such is deemed, in TransColorado's
reasonable judgment, to be economically, operationally and technically
feasible, subject to the following conditions:
(1) TransColorado has received an executed revised service
agreement from existing and prospective Shipper(s) requesting such additional
facilities or expansion of capacity;
(2) TransColorado does not have physical facilities or
adequate capacity in the system to accommodate requests for service of
existing and prospective Shippers accepted by TransColorado pursuant to
Section 4.1 hereof;
