GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Requesting and Scheduling Service
11A.5. Allocation of Receipts and Deliveries.
A. Prior to allocation of actual gas flow among nominated
services, Pipeline must receive either (1)a Rate Schedule
DPO service agreement or (2)a predetermined allocation from
the upstream or downstream custody transfer party,
consistent with the most current form of PDA from
Pipeline's EBB, for flowing gas supply. There is no need
to submit a Rate Schedule DPO service agreement or PDAs
where Pipeline has an operational balancing agreement in
effect for a point. A Rate Schedule DPO service agreement
or PDA at the city gate delivery points where Pipeline is
providing service under Rate Schedule FTNN must be
consistent with Section 6.3, above. Where a PDA applies,
only one PDA methodology is to be applied per allocation
period.
B. At points where it interconnects with other pipelines,
Pipeline shall determine the flow of gas in accordance with
Operational Balancing Agreements (OBAs) between Pipeline
and the other pipeline, as applicable. At city gate
Delivery Points where Pipeline provides service under Rate
Schedules FTNN or DPO, Pipeline shall determine the flow of
gas in accordance with Section 6.3, above. At all other
points, Pipeline shall determine the flow of gas in
accordance with either the provisions of Rate Schedule DPO
or Predetermined Allocations (PDAs) among Customers behind
such points, as provided by the operator of such points.
PDAs will be either ranked, pro rata, percentage, swing, or
operator provided value. These determinations shall be
made to the extent that such OBAs or PDAs are in effect and
made known to Pipeline after or during confirmation and
before the start of the Day. Pipeline will provide
indication of its receipt of a PDA that has been submitted
electronically, within 15 minutes. Based on scheduled
nominations, Pipeline will adjust receipts from the party
designated by the PDA, who shall be subject to applicable
imbalance provisions of this Tariff. If an operator has
not entered into a Rate Schedule DPO service agreement with
Pipeline and provides no PDA, Pipeline will resort to pro
rata allocation of variations between scheduled nominations
and actual gas flow.
C. The time limit for disputes of allocations shall be six months
from the date of the initial month-end allocation, with a
three-month rebuttal period. This standard shall not apply
in the case of deliberate omission or misrepresentation or
mutual mistake of fact. Parties' statutory or contractual rights
shall not otherwise be diminished by this Section 11A.5.C.
