25. MCF TO DTH CONVERSION METHODOLOGY
25.4 TMDQ. (Continued)
b. Emergency Adjustments to TMDQ. If, on any given day, the
gas flowing under Shipper's Transportation Service Agreement
has a weighted average Btu per cubic foot that deviates by
15 Btu or more from Shipper's base average Btu value and
Transporter determines that it is in jeopardy of being
unable to meet all of its firm service commitments,
Transporter will calculate an emergency-adjusted TMDQ to be
effective at the beginning of the next gas day. Such
emergency-adjusted TMDQ will be equal to the product of
Shipper's MDQ and Shipper's weighted average Btu per cubic
foot for the gas day on which such emergency adjustment is
calculated, divided by 1000. Transporter will notify
affected Shipper immediately of any adjustment pursuant to
this Section, which will remain effective until Shipper's
daily weighted average Btu per cubic foot is within 5 Btu of
Shipper's base average Btu, at which time Transporter will
revise the TMDQ to be equal to Shipper's MDQ multiplied by
its base average Btu factor.
c. TMDQ for Capacity Releases. If a Releasing Shipper elects
to release all or a portion of its rights to service
pursuant to a Transportation Service Agreement executed on
an Mcf basis, such Shipper will specify the DMDQ to be
released on its Release Request. Transporter will determine
the TMDQ associated with the release as follows:
(1) the DMDQ to be released will be divided by the
weighted average, system-wide Btu factor that was used
to convert releasing Shipper's MDQ to a DMDQ in order
to establish an assumed MDQ for the replacement
Shipper; and
(2) the replacement Shipper's assumed MDQ will be
multiplied by releasing Shipper's base average Btu
factor, to determine replacement Shipper's TMDQ.
The TMDQ acquired by the replacement Shipper will be subject
to monthly and/or emergency adjustments pursuant to this
Section, using the base average Btu of the releasing Shipper
and the assumed MDQ of the replacement Shipper.
