9.10 UNAUTHORIZED OR UNCLAIMED GAS - Unauthorized Gas means Gas received into
Transporter's System for which a nomination has not been submitted, or
which has not been confirmed and scheduled by Transporter. Transporter
will post a notice on its Internet web site (web site) that unauthorized
Gas has been received, the point of receipt, and the approximate date(s)
of receipt. The party responsible for the delivery of unauthorized Gas
into Transporter's System shall have thirty (30) Days to submit a valid
claim for such Gas, submit records from independent parties verifying
its ownership of such Gas, and make arrangements with Transporter for
the Transportation of the Gas under the terms of an IT Service
Agreement. The party claiming Gas must indemnify Transporter against
any adverse claims to such Gas. Unauthorized Gas will be subject to a
scheduling penalty of Ten Dollars ($10.00) per Dt, which penalty shall
be waived by Transporter if such Unauthorized Gas does not cause an
operational problem on the System. If unauthorized Gas is delivered
into Transporter's System while an OFO or curtailment order is in effect
on a System-wide basis or for the Receipt Point where the gas was
delivered into the System, the unauthorized Gas will be subject to an
OFO penalty or curtailment penalty, as appropriate, in addition to all
other applicable charges and penalties. Gas left unclaimed for more
than thirty (30) Days will become the property of Transporter. Failure
to claim unauthorized Gas will not relieve the party responsible for
injecting said Gas from paying OFO, curtailment, or scheduling penalties
if the ownership of the Gas can be substantiated by Transporter.
9.11 UNAUTHORIZED GAS REVENUES - Transporter will refund or carry forward,
for each calendar Year, any difference between the penalty revenues
received by Transporter and the costs incurred by Transporter as a
result of Unauthorized Gas. To the extent the difference between costs
and revenues in respect of such Unauthorized Gas penalties during any
calendar Year is less than Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000),
Transporter shall carry forward the difference to the next calendar
Year. To the extent, the difference is greater than Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($400,000), Transporter shall refund or invoice each
System Shipper in proportion to such Shipper's use of the System during
such calendar Year within one hundred twenty (120) Days after the end of
the calendar Year. Any such difference, whether a positive or negative,
shall include interest at the rate set forth in section 154.501 of the
Commission's regulations.
