GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)

17. TEMPORARY RELEASE OR PERMANENT ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS TO FIRM

TRANSPORTATION SERVICE

17.1 Applicability - This Section 17 implements Section 284.8 of the

FERC's regulations and is applicable to any Shipper that holds

rights to firm transportation that elects to temporarily release

or permanently assign all or a portion of such firm transportation

rights ("Releasing Shipper"). For purposes hereof, the term

"transportation," "transportation service" or "transportation

rights" shall include firm transportation service offered under

Rate Schedule FT-A, and the term "release" or "released" shall

apply to permanent assignments as well as temporary releases

unless otherwise noted. A Releasing Shipper shall have the right

to release any portion of its firm transportation rights and

obligations but only to the extent that the rights so released are

acquired by another party pursuant to the provisions of this

Section 17, that executes either a Released Transportation Service

Agreement for a temporary release or a Pre-Assignment Agreement

for a permanent assignment. Such party shall be referred to

herein as "Replacement Shipper". A person that desires to bid on

and obtain firm transportation rights released under the

provisions of this Section 17 shall be known as a "Bidder."

For the purpose of this Section 17, effective through September

30, 2002, or any later date established by the Commission, a

Releasing Shipper, a Replacement Shipper or a Bidder may specify a

rate in excess of the applicable maximum tariff rate if the term

of the release is less than one (1) year.

17.2 Releasing Shipper's Request - A Releasing Shipper that desires to

release its rights to transportation on a basis that does not
