20. AVAILABLE CAPACITY
20.1 Applicability. When used in this Section 20, capacity
available under Rate Schedule FT means firm capacity at
a Receipt Point and at a Delivery Point and the
capacity on Transporter's System between those points.
Transporter shall make available on a nondiscriminatory
basis all firm capacity that is or will be
unsubscribed, including capacity that will become
available upon the expiration or termination of a
Service Agreement.
20.2 Negotiation Procedures. Subject to Section 20.4 below,
Transporter will post on its Designated Site firm
capacity made available pursuant to Section 20.1 above.
The posting of capacity will constitute a solicitation
for offers by potential Shippers that seek to subscribe
to such capacity. All offers for available capacity
under this Section 20.2 must be made to Transporter in
writing via facsimile transmission, Internet email or
other mutually agreeable means of electronic
communication. All potential Shippers must comply with
Section 11 of the General Terms and Conditions of this
Tariff. Transporter reserves the right to reject any
offer that is operationally infeasible, yields rates
and terms that are unacceptable to Transporter, does
not meet the creditworthiness requirements of Section
11 above, or contains terms and conditions that are
inconsistent with Transporter's FERC Gas Tariff.
Transporter retains the right to require a minimum
rate, which shall be market-based, for all offers under
this Section 20. If Transporter's posting of available
capacity contains a deadline for offers, Transporter
shall negotiate with any potential Shipper that submits
an offer by such deadline, provided that Transporter
will not be precluded from negotiating with potential
Shipper(s) that submit offers after such deadline.
20.3 Awarding of Capacity. Transporter shall allocate
capacity to the potential Shipper(s) offering to pay
rates for service that Transporter finds acceptable.
Transporter may notify the potential Shipper of
Transporter's acceptance of the potential Shipper's bid
such that Transporter's acceptance shall create a
binding agreement between Transporter and the potential
Shipper. Each potential Shipper shall execute a new
Service Agreement prior the commencement of service
that reflects the mutually agreed upon rates.
Transporter will evaluate all bids in a manner that is
not unduly discriminatory.
