NON-CONFORMING PROVISIONS

1. Primary Receipt Points/Additional Facility Reservation Surcharge

The following provision, as reflected in the October 29, 1998 amendment to contract #100005, was accepted as non-conforming by the Commission on May 5, 1999 in Docket No. GT99-16-000.

In the event Transporter initiates an expansion project designed in part to reduce the volumetric level of southflow displacement required for Transporter to accommodate its aggregate firm northflow transportation commitments through the Clay Basin to Green River corridor, Shipper must either (1) reallocate 4,938 Dth/d of MDQ from the Clay Basin Receipt Point back to the McKinnon Receipt Point if capacity is available at that point, otherwise to a mutually agreeable receipt point north of Green River that has available capacity, or (2) agree to pay an Additional Facility Charge pursuant to Section 3.4 of Rate Schedule TF-1 based on the estimated difference in expansion project cost with and without the reallocation described in option 1. Shipper must execute an amendment reflecting its election of either option 1 or 2 within 30 days after written notification from Transporter.
