         (m)  The term "Releasing Shipper" shall mean any Shipper

the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 21.
   
         (n)  The term "Replacement Shipper" shall mean a Shipper
receiving firm capacity rights of a Releasing Shipper pursuant to

         (o)  The term "Winning Bidder" shall mean the Approved

21.2     This Section 21 implements Section 284.8 of the FERC
regulations and is applicable to any Shipper that holds rights to
firm transportation and that elects to release temporarily or
assign permanently all or a portion of such firm transportation
rights ("Releasing Shipper").  For purposes of this Section 21,
the term "transportation," "transportation service" or
"transportation rights" shall include firm transportation service
offered under Rate Schedule FT, and the terms "capacity release,"
"release" or  "released" shall apply to permanent assignments as
well as temporary releases unless otherwise noted.  A Releasing
Shipper shall have the right to release any portion of its firm
transportation rights and obligations but only to the extent that
the rights so released are acquired by another party pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 21 that executes either a Released
Transportation Service Agreement for a temporary release or a Pre-
Assignment Agreement for a permanent assignment.  Such party
shall be referred to herein as "Replacement Shipper."  A person

applicable to the released service for a three month period.
   
         (b)  Subject to any restrictions in the original
release, a Replacement Shipper shall be allowed to release the
capacity under its Released Transportation Service Agreement,
provided that the original release was not volumetrically based.
   
         (c)  The capacity release timeline is applicable to all

the transaction is valid and the acquiring shipper has been
determined to be credit worthy before the capacity release bid is
tendered, 2) the Replacement Shipper is a party to a Released
Transportation Service Agreement, and 3) there are no special
terms or conditions of the release.
