So that was a condition that was carefully worked on with the Interior delegation, recognizing nobody wants to put the entire project at risk over this— [FOREIGN LANGUAGE] to the spur line. The second is that the developer would initiate a tariff proceeding with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska and file for, as has been discussed, a system-wide tariff treatment that would allow the cost of the Fairbanks spur line to be spread across to other customers. And just taking a step back, kind of the concept there is that the cost of the Fairbanks Spur Line would be spread across other gas buyers from the domestic pipeline. There is a technical amendment that we think would be the right thing to make in this bill, which would be to remove the portion of the language that says that the cost would be spread to export consumers also. I take note that in the prior presentation, the regulatory commission explained the concept that the causers of the cost should bear the cost.
