GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
(Continued)
8. AVAILABILITY OF TRANSPORTATION (Continued)
8.1 Firm Transportation Service (Continued)
(a) Available Firm Capacity (Continued)
Following an initial Open Season for firm capacity that
becomes available, requests for posted, available, firm
capacity that reflect continuous service at a constant
contract quantity for the entire term of service at the
maximum rate will be honored on a first-come, first-served
basis, if such requests for capacity fall within the following
timelines:
Requested Service Term Service Commencement Date
1 Year or Longer 6 Months from Service Request
> 92 Days but < 1 Year 30 Days from Service Request
<= 92 Days 5 Days from Service Request
NBP may agree, but is not obligated, to sell firm capacity
outside of these timelines on a not unduly discriminatory
basis including, but not limited to, capacity sales as set
forth in Paragraphs 8.1(b) and 8.1(c) of these General Terms
and Conditions of Service.
(b) Future Sales of Capacity
NBP may sell firm capacity with service commencement dates
more than one year in the future, when such capacity is either
available unsubscribed capacity or capacity that will become
available and is not subject to a right of first refusal or
unilateral evergreen provision, by either conducting an open
season or by selling such capacity on a pre-arranged basis.
If NBP conducts an open season, it will post notice of the
open season on its Internet website. The minimum bid period
will be five (5) business days. Any potential shippers
wishing to acquire capacity may request an immediate or future
commencement date (if the capacity is currently available) or
only a future commencement date (if the capacity will only
become available in the future).
