3.4 Intra-day Nominations
An intra-day nomination is any nomination submitted after the
deadline set forth in Section 3.3 whose effective time is no earlier
than the beginning of the gas day and runs through the end of that
gas day. An intra-day nomination shall not roll-over, and shall not
replace the remainder of a standing nomination. There is no need to
renominate if the intra-day nomination modifies the existing
nomination. The nomination should include Shipper defined begin
dates and end dates. A nomination should be considered an original
nomination, and should be replaced to be changed and shall have a
prospective effect only unless otherwise agreed to between
Transporter and Shipper. The intra-day nomination shall include an
effective date and time and daily quantity to be transported.
Shipper and Transporter shall agree on the hourly flows of the
intra-day nomination, however, Transporter shall not be obligated to
transport an hourly amount greater than one-twenty-fourth of
Shipper's MDQ. An intra-day nomination may be utilized to request
increases or decreases in gas flow and/or changes to receipt and/or
delivery points of scheduled gas. Shipper may submit intra-day
nominations at least four hours prior to the commencement of the
requested change in gas flow, subject to confirmation and
verification and Transporter's operating conditions.
Thus, Transporter will support the following standard nomination
cycles:
The Evening Nomination Cycle: 6:00 pm for nominations leaving control
of the nominating party; 6:15 pm for receipt of nominations by the
transporter; 6:30 pm to send Quick Response; 9:00 pm for receipt of
completed confirmations by transporter from upstream and downstream
connected parties; 10:00 pm for Transportation Service Provider to
provide scheduled quantities to affected shippers and point
operators, and to provide scheduled quantities to bumped parties
(notice to bumped parties), (central clock time on the day prior to
flow).
Scheduled quantities resulting from an Evening Nomination that does
not cause another Service Requester on the subject Transportation
Service Provider to receive notice that it is being bumped should be
effective at 9:00 am on gas day; and when an Evening Nomination
causes another Service Requester on the subject Transportation
Service Provider to receive notice that it is being bumped, the
scheduled quantities should be effective at 9:00 am on gas day.
