RATE SCHEDULE IBS (continued)
A. A confirmed Access Request for a Gas Day shall permit a Shipper
to receive balancing service hereunder related to the linked
transportation Agreement without further notice. Shipper shall
not, however, be obligated to use such balancing volumes, i.e.,
Access Requests do not establish changes to scheduled
transportation nominations and are used to define the level of
balancing service available to the Shipper that day to cover IBS
Balance volumes allocated under Section 6.2B. Further, this
service is subject to the curtailment provisions of the General
Terms and Conditions of this Tariff.
B. Transporter shall account separately for each Gas Day's imbalance
services under the IBS Agreement. Differences on any Gas Day
between nominations and physical gas flow at the specified
Delivery Point and associated with the linked FTS or ITS
Agreement shall be allocated to the IBS Agreement up to the
confirmed Access Request quantities. The resulting allocated
imbalance volume, which may be positive or negative, shall be
added to the IBS Agreement Cumulative Balance and the linked FTS
or ITS Agreement will not reflect an imbalance at the delivery
point for such quantities. Actual volumes allocated to the
linked transportation Agreement at the Delivery Point may be
pursuant to a predetermined allocation Agreement. Service
hereunder allows Shipper to have daily imbalances or variances
within the level of the confirmed Access Request. Any volume
allocated to Shipper at the Delivery Point on any Gas Day in
excess of 1) the confirmed Access Request quantity for park or
loan under this Section 6; 2) the MDQ of the IBS contract; and/or
3) the maximum allowable Cumulative Balance shall be subject to
additional overrun charges pursuant to Section 7 of this Rate
Schedule.
6.3 Transporter shall provide to Shipper on its Interactive Website the
best available information on the IBS Balances under an IBS Agreement
by 10:00 a.m. CCT for the next Gas Day. Transporter shall identify
both the IBS Balance for the Gas Day ("Daily Balance") and the
Cumulative Balance. The Daily Balance parked or loaned shall equal
Transporter's allocation under Section 6.2 to balance the linked
transportation agreement on that Gas Day. Shipper shall be obligated,
based upon Shipper's projected requirements and information provided
by Transporter, to nominate in the next Gas Day's timely nomination
cycle to payback and bring its Daily Balance and Cumulative Balance to
zero ("IBS Payback nomination"). Transporter may adjust the Daily and
Cumulative Balance information in future periods, and Shipper's future
payback obligations shall be adjusted accordingly, but Shipper should
nominate IBS Payback nominations based upon available information
provided by Transporter.
