of the proposed upgrade is to eliminate the pressure drops associated 
with restrictions in the existing 6-inch station. It is estimated that 
the cost of the upgrade would be $100,000. It is asserted that the 
upgraded facilities will not result in an increase in the maximum daily 
volumes that MRT is authorized to transport for National Steel pursuant 
to current service agreements. MRT states that it does not anticipate 
any impact on peak day or annual deliveries to National Steel.
