24 CAPACITY POSTING AND CONTRACT PROCEDURES

24.1 Applicability

This section shall apply to the process of posting and contracting for capacity on existing

facilities other than capacity which is available under the ROFR process or through the

capacity release program, or as part of an expansion project.

24.2 Posting

Transporter shall maintain and update postings of unsubscribed capacity, operationally

available capacity, and design capacity, in accordance with 18 CFR 284.13 and in the format

set forth in NAESB standard 4.3.23.

24.3 Contracting for Available Capacity

Except as otherwise provided in Section 24.4 herein, Transporter will award offers for posted

capacity (including requests to change primary receipts or primary delivery points) on a

first-come, first-served basis and in accordance with the currently effective rate schedules

of this tariff. Posted capacity will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to any

shipper willing to pay the applicable maximum tariff rate, and a shipper need not offer to

pay a different rate (including, without limitation, a negotiated rate) that may be in excess

of the maximum tariff rate to obtain such capacity. Nothing herein requires Transporter to

accept requests to change primary receipt or delivery points or accept offers for available

capacity at less than maximum tariff rates; provided however, that Transporter will treat all

requests or offers on a nondiscriminatory basis. The unsubscribed capacity postings set

forth in 24.2 above will be updated at each nomination cycle to reflect any capacity that has

been awarded.
