manner. Types of allocation methodologies is a list from which two parties may agree, and include,
but are not limited to, Ranked, Pro Rata, Percentage, Swing and Operator Provided Value. If the two
parties cannot agree upon an allocation methodology, pro rata based upon confirmed nominations shall
be used as the default method. The party responsible for custody transfer (the party performing the
measurement function) shall provide the allocation. PDA's shall be provided by the interconnecting
operator, and for multi-tiered allocations, may be provided by the upstream title holders or
shippers. Interconnecting operators at receipt locations shall provide a PDA to allocate to
upstream title holders. Upstream title holders may provide a PDA to allocate to the parties taking
possession of their gas at a receipt location. Shippers may provide a PDA to allocate to their
nominations at either receipt or delivery locations.
