GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
32. Third Party Storage Transactions (cont'd)
32.3 Annual True-up Adjustment
(a) The third party storage operators described in this section
will be subject to an annual true-up adjustment to be
calculated based on that operator's storage activity
related to Southern Star's system through March 31 of each
year. By April 30 of each year, the third party storage
operator shall provide to Southern Star a complete
accounting of storage activity for the 12-month period
ended March 31. Such accounting shall include, but not be
limited to, (1) a full monthly accounting of all gas
injected into and withdrawn from the storage facility for
all pipelines, gathering systems and any other sources
connected to the storage facility, and (2) monthly working
and cushion gas inventories.
(b) The true-up adjustment will be calculated based on
deliveries to and receipts from the directly-connected
third party storage facility related to Southern Star's
system for the 12-month period ended March 31. If
deliveries to such facility exceed receipts from the same
facility, Southern Star will invoice the third party
storage operator for commodity transportation charges equal
to the excess deliveries times the average of the maximum
winter and maximum summer ITS rate for the area in which
such facility is located. The third party storage operator
may request to defer and potentially avoid payment to
Southern Star by warranting and providing documentation to
Southern Star that the excess deliveries remain in the
storage facility. Southern Star, at its sole discretion,
may accept or reject such request. Southern Star, acting
reasonably, will not be unduly discriminatory in accepting
or rejecting such requests. The deferral of payment and
monthly documentation may continue for a period not to
exceed 12 consecutive months. If actual receipts from the
directly-connected third party storage facility exceed
deliveries to such facility for the previous 12-month
period, Southern Star
