GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Cont'd)
8. METER ALLOCATIONS
This Section specifies the procedures for allocating any differences
between the aggregate of all Customers' Scheduled Daily Quantities and
actual measured quantities (Difference(s)). Unless otherwise agreed to
between Seller and Confirming Party, physically measured quantities shall be
allocated on scheduled daily quantities and shall be made using dekatherm
units.
8.1 Predetermined Allocation Method (PDA)
(a) If an OBA is not in effect at a receipt or delivery point, and
all Customers cannot agree upon an allocation methodology, "pro rata based
upon confirmed nominations" shall be used as the default PDA method.
(b) Seller may negotiate and enter into OBAs with interstate
pipelines, intrastate pipelines and other entities, including an OBA in the
form included in this Tariff. No Difference balanced in-kind shall be
allocated to any Customer at the receipt or delivery points covered by the
OBA. If an interstate pipeline charges Seller for Differences in the OBA,
however characterized, Seller shall charge such interstate pipeline an
equivalent and offsetting charge. If Seller is unable to charge or collect
such equivalent and offsetting charges for such Differences, Seller, on an
as-billed basis, shall allocate and bill such charges to Customers
responsible for the imbalance at the point of interconnection at which the
Difference giving rise to the charges occurred.
(c) Where an OBA exists between Interconnecting Parties, a PDA is not
necessary.
(d) Changes to a PDA may be made prospectively during the month.
Only one PDA may be submitted per allocation period. Seller may in its
reasonable discretion make retroactive reallocations of transactions to
correct for errors. Otherwise, no retroactive reallocations of any
transactions shall be permitted without the approval of Seller and the
agreement of those Customers with Service Agreements affected by such
retroactive reallocations, provided that the agreement by such affected
Customers shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(e) PDAs shall remain in effect until a replacement PDA is received
from the Interconnecting Operator or upstream title holder; provided,
however, PDAs shall be updated at the beginning of each month. A new
allocation detail may be needed when a nomination changes.
(f) If the PDA is provided using EDI, Seller shall respond with an
EDI confirmation indicating receipt of the PDA within 15 minutes, and
whether there are any errors associated with the PDA.
