TRANSPORTATION GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

5. SERVICE CONDITIONS (Continued)
5.7 Delivery Codes (Continued)
(c) Where an OPASA has been executed by a DP Operator, any other
Shipper may request service to the Delivery Points included in
that OPASA and use the D-Code arrangement described here,
provided that all the other conditions of this Section 5.7
have been met. Delivery meters identified in an OPASA may be
grouped into multi-meter D-Codes; however, the use of multi-
meter D-Codes may not adversely affect the firm rights of
other Shippers or firm service reliability.
(i) Transporter shall assign multi-meter D-Codes to DP
Operators based on the following criteria:
A. Multi-meter D-Codes must have a similar operational
impact on Transporter's system;
B. Multi-meter D-Codes may not traverse a persistent
system constraint point; and
C. No Shipper or other Interconnecting Party shall be
disadvantaged as a result of a multi-meter D-Code.
D. Multi-meter D-Code locations must be operated by
the same party.
(ii) Transporter shall grant requests for multi-meter D-Codes
in a not unduly discriminatory manner.
(d) The OPASA identified in Section 5.7(a) shall identify an MDO
and an MHO at each delivery meter aggregated in the OPASA
providing service to that DP Operator and such other
conditions as necessary to ensure the reliability of firm
service to all shippers.
(i) The MDO and the MHO for a Delivery Point shall not
exceed the meter capacity at that point or the upstream
capacity available on a firm basis to serve that DP
Operator.
(ii) Operators may utilize different delivery meters within
their designated D-Code; however, Transporter shall have
no obligation to provide service above the MDO or MHO at
any individual meter or the applicable MDQ for that D-
Code.
