11. SYSTEM OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS
11.1Strained and Critial Operating Condition Procedures (Continued)
(g) Nothing in this Section 11.1 is intended to supersede provisions
of operational balancing agreements ("OBAs") at meters where
Transporter is required to have an OBA, i.e., interstate
pipelines and applicable intrastate pipelines or foreign
pipelines that are the functional equivalent of an interstate or
intrastate pipeline.
(h) If an SOC or COC has been declared or a warning of an impending
SOC or COC has been issued in a specified direction (i.e., Pack
or Draft), any hourly scheduling penalty or daily unauthorized
overrun penalty assessed for actions in the opposite direction
in the affected area will be billed at the non-Critical
Condition rate during the SOC or COC, whether or not Transporter
requested the Shipper to go out of balance in that direction,
pursuant to Section 2.8 of Rate Schedule FT-1, Section 2.6 of
Rate Schedule FT-2, Section 3.5 of Rate Schedule FTH-V, Section
3.6 of Rate Schedule FT-H, Section 3.7 of Rate Schedule NNTD
and/or Section 3.7 of Rate Schedule NNTH.
(i) COC Safe Harbor Tolerance Quantities.
(A) For purposes of determining daily unauthorized overrun
penalties during a COC, a Shipper's daily Safe Harbor
Tolerance Quantities shall equal the greater of 3%
multiplied by the TCD or 2,000 dth per Day.
(B) For purposes of determining hourly scheduling penalties
during a COC, a Shipper's hourly Safe Harbor Tolerance
Quantities shall equal the greater of 3% multiplied by the
Shipper's Hourly Scheduled Entitlement (plus any no-notice
quantities, if applicable) or 100 dth per hour and will be
applicable to the specified COC area pursuant to Section
11.1(a).
(j) If in Transporter's reasonable judgment its error (e.g.,
computer system failure or data integrity discrepancy) causes
Shipper to experience an SOC or COC Daily Imbalance Charge, such
charge will not be assessed.
