Participation in the program allows shippers (Releasing Shippers) to release all or part of their firm transportation capacity to another party (Replacement Shipper) under specified terms and conditions. the GTN System's Capacity Release Program is fully outlined in Section 28 of the GTN System's FERC Gas Tariff, Volume 1-A.

In order to acquire capacity from a GTN System firm transportation service customer (or become a Replacement Shipper), interested parties must:

1. Meet the GTN System's Credit Requirements, and
2. Execute a Pacific Express User Agreement (pdf format)
