GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Cont'd)
(c) Secondary Delivery Points Under Rate Schedules FTS, NTS, NTS-S, TPS, SST, GTS and OPT. For
deliveries to secondary delivery points under the FTS, NTS, NTS-S, TPS, SST and GTS Rate Schedules, and for
deliveries to secondary delivery points under the OPT Rate Schedule when not interrupted pursuant to the
provisions of the OPT Rate Schedule, Transporter shall allocate capacity among Shippers on a pro rata basis,
based upon those Shippers' respective nominated quantities. This priority shall apply where Shipper's
aggregate deliveries at primary and secondary delivery points do not exceed Shipper's Transportation Demand.
Any interruptions or other allocation reductions to Shipper's deliveries at secondary delivery points under
the OPT Rate Schedule shall not reduce Shipper's allowable days of interruption under that Rate Schedule.
(d) Secondary Delivery Points Under Rate Schedule OPT During Periods of Interruption. For
deliveries to secondary delivery points under the OPT Rate Schedule, Transporter shall allocate capacity among
Shippers on a pro rata basis, based upon those Shippers' respective nominated quantities. This priority shall
apply where Shipper's aggregate deliveries at primary and secondary delivery points do not exceed Shipper's
Transportation Demand. Any interruptions or other allocation reductions to Shipper's deliveries at secondary
delivery points under the OPT Rate Schedule shall not reduce Shipper's allowable days of interruption under
that Rate Schedule.
(e) Rate Schedule ITS, Overrun Quantities Under Rate Schedules FTS, NTS, NTS-S, TPS, SST, and OPT
and X-Rate Schedules.
(1) Where Shippers have nominated deliveries to commence on the first Day of the Month of
(i) quantities under the ITS Rate Schedule, (ii) overrun quantities under the FTS, NTS, NTS-S, TPS,
SST, or OPT Rate Schedules, or (iii) interruptible quantities under interruptible X-Rate Schedules set
forth in Volume No. 2 of this Tariff, Transporter shall award capacity to those Shippers offering to
pay the highest rate for service during that Month. Transporter shall allocate capacity among
Shippers offering to pay the same rate first to those Shippers flowing gas during the previous month,
pro rata based upon the quantities flowing on the fifth business day preceding the first Day of that
Month, up to but not exceeding such flowing quantities. Transporter then shall allocate any remaining
capacity equally among the remaining Shippers offering to pay the same rate for service during that
Month up to but not exceeding nominated quantities.
(2) Where Shippers have requested deliveries in excess of available capacity and
commencing other than the first Day of the Month of (i) quantities under the ITS Rate Schedule, (ii)
overrun quantities under the FTS, NTS, NTS-S, TPS, SST, or OPT Rate Schedules, or (iii) interruptible
quantities under interruptible X-Rate Schedules set forth in Volume 2 of this Tariff, Transporter shall
allocate any available capacity on the basis of the highest rate. Where requested deliveries at the
same highest rate exceed available capacity, Transporter shall allocated capacity first to those
Shippers flowing gas on a pro rata basis, based upon respective confirmed nominations; and second to
all remaining Shippers based upon the order in which Transporter received nominations from those
Shippers (equally to any Shippers submitting nominations on the same day).
(3) If intraday nominations require an allocation of the pipeline system, the following
will describe the circumstances that allow a higher priority service to bump a lower priority service.
(a) Evening Nomination Cycle: For nominations received by 6:00 p.m. CT and to be
effective at the start of the upcoming gas day, nomination increases at a primary point under
Rate Schedules FTS, NTS, NTS-S, TPS, SST, GTS and OPT will not bump nominations at a secondary
point under these same rate schedules that are submitted and scheduled within the Timely
Nomination Cycle. Nomination increases submitted under Rate Schedules FTS, NTS, NTS-S, TPS,
SST, GTS and OPT whether at primary or secondary points will have priority over nominated and
scheduled quantities under Rate Schedule ITS and overruns under the firm rate schedules and may
bump such quantities effective at 9:00 a.m. CT the next day. Nomination increases submitted
under Rate Schedule ITS and overruns under the firm rate schedules shall be subject to
available unscheduled capacity and will not bump scheduled quantities. Transporter shall notify
Shippers being bumped as a result of intraday nominations by 10:00 p.m. C.T.
