Unless otherwise provided in Shipper's Service Agreement,
Paiute shall be entitled to make use of pregranted abandonment
under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for long-term
(twelve [12] months or more) firm transportation services, as
authorized by Section 284.221(d) of the Commission's

upon termination of each individual transportation
arrangement, and shall seek bids from competing Shippers
interested in acquiring such firm transportation service,

was executed on or after March 27, 2000 and provides for
service at the applicable maximum rate, or (2) was in effect
on March 27, 2000. Such Shipper may continue receiving the

notice period provided for in the Shipper's Service Agreement,
or (2) twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the term of
the Service Agreement, whichever occurs first. Such notice must

long-term Shipper is willing to pay during such term.
