6. ENHANCED SERVICE FEATURES
6.1 Elimination of Storage Ratchets. Shippers may elect to have the MDIQ and the
MDWQ equal to the Base MDIQ and Base MDWQ, respectively. The applicable
maximum reservation rate for Rate Schedule FSS service pursuant to such an
election shall be stated on Sheet No. 10 or 10A, and denoted as Rate Schedule
FSS service without Storage Ratchets.
6.2 Flexible Entitlements. Subject to the determination in Section 1(a), above,
Rate Schedule FSS Shippers may elect flexible injections and withdrawals from
storage ("Flexible Entitlements") to permit injections and withdrawals on any
Day of the Storage Contract Year, provided, however, that in no event shall
any Shipper be entitled to firm withdrawals in excess of the then current MSQ
Gas balance or to inject amounts above the MSQ. The applicable maximum
reservation rate for Rate Schedule FSS service pursuant to such an election
shall be stated on Sheet No. 10 or 10A, and denoted as Rate Schedule FSS
service with Flexible Entitlements. The Injection Period and Withdrawal
Period under such an election shall be consecutive monthly periods commencing
April 1, provided, however, that if (a) the sum of: (i) the Shipper's MSQ
divided by its Base MDWQ; and (ii) the Shipper's MSQ divided by its Base MDIQ,
exceeds 365, or (b) the Storage Contract Year is less than 365 days, such
Shipper may commence service on a Day other than April 1.
6.3 Cycling of Gas. Shippers electing Flexible Entitlements pursuant to Section
6.2, above, shall during the Injection Period and the Withdrawal Period be
permitted to inject and withdraw ("Cycle"), respectively, quantities of Gas
above the normal single Cycle allowed for other Shippers. The ability to
Cycle under this section does not create any additional firm rights. Rather,
the Shipper's ability to Cycle is both limited as defined below and by the
physical limitations inherent in the Shipper's Base MDIQ, Base MDWQ, MSQ and
Storage Contract Year. Cycling under Flexible Entitlements shall be permitted
up to 1.42 times the MSQ within any Storage Contract Year, provided, however,
that in the case of any Shipper with a Base MDWQ between 1/10 - 1/49 of its
MSQ, the respective Injection Period and Withdrawal Period quantities shall be
equal to the quotient of 365 divided by the sum of: (a) the Shipper's MSQ
divided by its Base MDWQ; and (b) the Shipper's MSQ divided by its Base MDIQ.
The storage of Gas in excess of MSQ, or the injection or the withdrawal of Gas
in excess of the allowed Cycle(s), as the case may be, shall be permitted only
on a best efforts, overrun basis. For the purposes of determining the
applicable limits on injections and withdrawals pursuant to this provision,
quantities allocated as Designated Storage Account activity pursuant to the
provisions of Rate Schedule NNS shall not be included in the calculations of a
Shipper's accumulated injections and withdrawals of Gas.
6.4 In-Field Transfers. A Shipper may elect to fill the MSQ, in whole or in part,
through an in-field transfer of Gas subject to Section 18.12 of the General
Terms and Conditions of this Tariff. Such an election will neither increase
nor diminish the Base MDIQ, Base MDWQ, or MSQ. Except as provided in Section
3.4 above, for gas currently in the storage account, the sum of a) the Gas
nominated, injected and b) the Gas moved into the account through one (1) or
more in-field transfers, may not exceed the MSQ.
