GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (CONTINUED)
13. OPERATING CONDITIONS (Continued)
13.5 Declared Entitlement Period: A Declared Entitlement Period is a
time period, declared by Transporter, during which unauthorized overrun
or underrun provisions apply as a result of an interruption or
curtailment due to capacity constraints, supply interruptions, or the
existence of any undertake or overtake situation which jeopardizes system
integrity. As early as reasonably possible, but no later than two hours
prior to commencement of the gas day, Transporter will notify Receiving
Party when a Declared Entitlement Period is in effect. Transporter may
not announce a Declared Entitlement for the coming gas day after close of
the confirmation process on the day prior to such gas day unless (i)
Transporter has given a warning based on available data, posted to
Transporter's web site and noted in a Receiving Party's or Shipper's
confirmation notice, prior to the close of such confirmation period, of
the possibility of a Declared Entitlement, or (ii) changes to operational
circumstances or data occur after the close of such confirmation process
which Transporter determines required Declared Entitlements.
Operating conditions that may trigger post-confirmation, same-day
entitlements are extensive supply failure, storage facility failure,
pipeline or compression failure, excess linepack drafting, unexpected and
extremely cold weather, or firm curtailment. Transporter will provide
Shippers with actual notice of such operating conditions in the form of a
telephone call or a facsimile.
Transporter will identify that portion of the system contributing to the
operation problem or will identify specific Receiving Party(s) deviating
from daily nominations for the previous day by at least 10% and will
announce that a Declared Entitlement Period will apply only to that
portion of the system or to such Receiving Party(s). Due to operational
constraints on Transporter's system, there may be instances when a
Declared Entitlement Period will apply to Transporter's entire system.
Transporter will specify the entitlement as either an overrun or an
underrun entitlement for Receiving Party. If deliveries to Receiving
Party or Shipper exceed scheduled and authorized volumes during any day
that such Declared Entitlement Period is in effect or deliveries are less
than authorized volumes in an undertake situation, the unauthorized
overrun or underrun charge provisions as described in Section 14 of the
General Terms and Conditions will apply.
The provisions of Section 13.2, Nominations Changes After the Start of
the Gas Day, are applicable to allow Shippers to adjust receipts and/or
deliveries as necessary during such Declared Entitlement Period.
