i = Daily Discount Factor (current FERC quarterly rate) This rate can be found at http://www.ferc.gov/legal/acct-matts/interest-rates.asp
These factors will be weighted equally. If more than one bid has the same NPV and requests for service exceed available capacity, then the capacity shall be awarded pro rata to shippers with matching NPV bids. In the event of a tie parties interested in this capacity may specify an acceptable minimum prorated MDQ.
