GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
19. SEGMENTATION
19.1 Segmentation by Nomination
(a) To the extent operationally feasible, a Shipper under Rate
Schedule FT-A may segment through the nomination process its
capacity entitlements on any segment of Transporter's system
that is not defined as an Incremental Lateral. Furthermore,
to the extent operationally feasible, a Shipper under Rate
Schedule FT-L may segment through the nomination process its
capacity entitlements on any segment solely on the
applicable Incremental Lateral. Shipper may nominate up to
its original contract MDTQ concurrently in two or more
segments within its Contract Path; provided that the
combined scheduled volumes of the two or more nominated
segments do not exceed the Shipper's original contract MDTQ
on any segment where the nomination paths overlap. The
nomination of a Forward Flow Nomination and a Reverse Flow
Nomination to the same point pursuant to Shipper's
segmentation rights in excess of Shipper's contract MDTQ
shall not be deemed to be an overlap, provided that the two
transactions do not overlap on a lateral and provided
further that such Delivery Point is the only Delivery Point
covered by an Operational Balancing Agreement pursuant to
Rate Schedule LMS-MA.
(b) The following requirements must be met in order to segment
by nomination:
(i) meter operators must elect to place their individual
meters into a Segmentable OBA;
(ii) elections to place a meter into a Segmentable OBA must
be made no less than five (5) Business Days prior to
the end of a Month, to be effective on the first Day
of the following Month;
(a) Transporter will maintain a listing of
Segmentable Points on the LINK® System and shall
update the listing prior to the timely
nomination deadline for the first Gas Day of the
Month.
(iii) Shippers who wish to segment a contract must nominate
to meters subject to a Segmentable OBA; and
(iv) quantities nominated under a contract may not exceed
the contract's MDTQ if any nominated Delivery Point is
part of a Non-Segmentable OBA.
Elections by a meter operator to remove a meter from a
Segmentable OBA must be made no less than five (5) Business
Days prior to the end of a Month, to be effective on the
first day of the following Month.
(c) Segmentation of firm capacity shall be deemed operationally
feasible unless such segmentation would adversely affect any
of the following:
(i) Transporter's Maximum Allowable Delivery service;
(ii) Transporter's ability to allow meter imbalances to
roll up to the operator level for OBAs;
(iii) Transporter's ability to maintain operating pressures
on small diameter pipes for delivery of firm volumes;
(iv) Transporter's operational flexibility for the fill
requirement of the LNG facility;
(v) Transporter's flexibility of continuous nominations;
or
(vi) Transporter's ability to meet its firm service
obligations.
