GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
2. PRIORITY OF SERVICE
2.1 ALLOCATION OF CAPACITY
This Section 2.1 governs the allocation of firm capacity
on KMIP's System among entities requesting firm services. In
assigning priority to otherwise valid requests for any particular
firm service, KMIP shall afford priority based on rate, term, and
volume, applying consistent and objective economic criteria. In
applying such criteria where a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate
Formula is involved, the value assigned to a request which includes a
Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula shall be limited by the
Recourse Rate as provided in Section 31 of these General Terms and
Conditions. Requests with the same rate, term, and volume shall be
assigned priority on a first come, first served basis. In the event
valid requests are received on the same Day and there is insufficient
capacity to serve all such Shippers, KMIP shall allocate the
available capacity on a pro rata basis based on each Shipper's
requested MDQ. KMIP shall not be required to grant otherwise valid
requests at less than the applicable maximum rate, but may do so on a
non-discriminatory basis.
2.2 SCHEDULING OF FIRM SERVICES
(a) While firm services are not ordinarily interrupted
due to lack of capacity, capacity constraints may exist from time to
time or interruption of service may be necessary for certain other
reasons. KMIP may decline to schedule and/or may curtail firm service
for any of the following reasons:
(1) If Shipper tenders gas which does not
conform to the applicable pressure or quality requirements of these
General Terms and Conditions;
(2) For reasons of Force Majeure;
(3) Due to routine repair and maintenance to be
reasonably determined by KMIP;
(4) Pursuant to Section 2.7 or 12.2 of these
General Terms and Conditions;
