6. MDO/MHO QUANTITY REDUCTIONS (Continued)
6.3 (Continued)
(b) The individual MDO quantity shall be at least equal to, but
never less than, the total contracted CMQ at such meter.
(c) Downward MDO adjustments will not change existing pressure
requirements as specified in Shipper's TSA(s), unless other
mutually agreed upon changes in the TSA(s) require a change
in the pressure requirements.
6.4 Pursuant to Section 2.5(d) of this Rate Schedule, if Transporter
and DP Operator agree to MDO/MHO quantity reductions, the OPASA
shall be amended or replaced to reflect the adjusted levels and
Transporter will post the new MDO/MHO quantities on its EBB and the
new MDO/MHO quantities shall become effective no earlier than the
fifth Business Day following the posting.
6.5 Should DP Operator and Transporter be unable to agree on the
reduced MDO/MHO quantities, Transporter will make a determination
of the MDO/MHO quantities to be reduced, in its best judgment and
in a not unduly discriminatory manner. In making such
determination, Transporter will consider the operational factors
that result in the smallest MDO/MHO adjustment quantity and/or the
impact to the fewest meters within the D-Code, and will balance its
consideration of such factors with an effort to spread MDO/MHO
reductions across multiple DP Operators where feasible, so that
reductions are not unduly discriminatory and do not unnecessarily
impact a single DP Operator. Where, consistent with prudent
operation of the pipeline, the minimized impacts could be
distributed to more than one DP Operator, Transporter shall
calculate the MDO reduction quantity and allocate the remaining MDO
quantities pursuant to Section 6.5(a) of this Rate Schedule.
(a) At the affected DP Operators' locations, Transporter shall
determine the excess MDO amount (i.e., total MDO in excess of
total CMQ). The excess MDO amount less the MDO reduction
quantity shall be allocated pro rata, based on the respective
CMQs, among all affected locations, subject to Section 6.3(b)
of this Rate Schedule; provided, however, the revised MDOs
shall not exceed the pre-existing MDOs, unless matched with
new firm contract quantities.
