Based on best available information. Based on best available information. Independence was the first project to be announced, the first project to file for regulatory approval at FERC, the first to provide market support, the first to begin the regulatory review process to maintain our targeted in-service date and now, clearly with this announcement, Independence is also the first in both price and access. Not only does Independence now have the best rates, but it also offers customers the most access to mid- and south Atlantic markets. As we examined other proposals designed to move gas from Chicago and Alberta eastward, it became obvious that our customers will not only effectively access the New York markets but also reach the growing southeast markets for 14 cents to 34 cents less than any other project.
Independence continues to negotiate with other parties for the remaining capacity.
