GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
C. Procedures to Obtain Firm Capacity at a New Location Within Shipper's
MDTQ
Firm Shippers interested in obtaining firm capacity at a new location
or an increase in MDQ at an existing location, which new location or
increase in MDQ requires the construction of facilities but not the
increase in Shipper's total contractual MDTQ, shall submit a request
for capacity pursuant to Section 3 of the FTS-1, FTS-WD or FTS-2 Rate
Schedule, but which contains only the information relevant to the
changes requested.
D. Construction of Facilities
Transporter shall have no obligation to modify its existing
facilities or construct new facilities in order to receive or deliver
Shipper's gas unless otherwise ordered by the Commission. However,
if a Shipper requests new or additional transportation service and
Transporter is agreeable to providing the requested service it will
do so on the following terms, unless otherwise agreed to in writing,
on a not unduly discriminatory basis:
1. If Transporter agrees to construct, own and operate lateral
pipelines (if applicable), metering and regulating facilities
that include electronic measurement and data communication
equipment (if applicable) and/or new and/or additional points of
delivery to such Shipper or points of receipt from such Shipper:
(1) the metering and regulating facilities shall be installed at
point(s) which, in Transporter's reasonable judgment, is the
most practical, convenient and readily accessible location; (2)
the lateral pipeline (if any) shall be installed by use of not
less than a nominal four-inch (4") diameter pipe; (3) the
Shipper will provide all exhibits necessary to support the
proposed service for any needed FERC proceedings and; (4) the
Shipper will contribute an aid-to-construction amount to
Transporter which is equal to the cost of the additional
facilities including all costs involved in filing any
applications, pursuing said approvals, and in obtaining all
licenses and permits required for the services or construction
and, further, amounts necessary to reimburse any costs,
including any income taxes that may be incurred by Transporter
as a result of the contribution. Transporter and Shipper will
agree on which party will construct and/or own and/or operate
any facilities to be constructed.
2. Shippers, whether new or existing, shall bear all costs and
expenses attributable to the construction of any lateral
pipelines or expansions of existing lateral pipelines. Nothing
in this section shall require Transporter to file an application
for a certificate of public convenience and necessity under
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act.
