16. ALLOCATION PROCEDURES
16.1 In the event that Gas is scheduled for any Day to be received or delivered by
Pipeline at Point(s) of Receipt or Point(s) of Delivery on Pipeline's system for Customer,
Pipeline shall allocate quantities received or delivered as set forth in Paragraph 16.2 and
make such daily operational allocations available within one (1) Business Day after the
end of the Gas Day. Allocated quantities and imbalances should be expressed in the
same units as the nominated quantities. In the event that the allocation information as
specified in the provisions of Paragraph 16.2 is not provided, the Pipeline shall allocate
actual quantities as set forth in the provisions of Paragraph 16.3.
16.2 (a) Pipeline shall allocate on each Day actual Gas quantities received or delivered
by Pipeline among all scheduled quantities. Such allocations shall be based on 1) the
existence of an OBA at the affected point or location; or 2) in the absences of an OBA,
such allocation shall be based on the PDA(s) submitted to Pipeline during the Business
Day prior to such Gas Day by Customer, Customer's Agent or the Point Operator. Such
PDA(s) may be submitted to Pipeline in writing or electronically. A PDA, whether
submitted by Customer, Customer's Agent or the Point Operator, upstream or
downstream custody transfer party who is providing the point confirmation shall be a
NAESB approved allocation methodology type, contain the standardized data elements
as defined by NAESB and, shall set forth sufficient information to describe the allocation
priority for each Point of Receipt and Point of Delivery when actual quantities received or
delivered exceed scheduled quantities, and shall set forth sufficient information to
describe the allocation priority for each Point of Receipt and Point of Delivery when
actual quantities received or delivered are less than scheduled quantities. PDA's
submitted to Pipeline shall be acknowledged to transmitter within fifteen (15) minutes of
receipt.
(b) It shall be the obligation of Customer to ensure that Customer's Agent and/or the
Point Operator comply with the provisions of this Section 16. In the event that a Point
Operator is responsible for scheduling receipts or deliveries at Point(s) of Receipt or
Point(s) of Delivery, Pipeline shall first rely on a PDA submitted by Customer. In the
event that Customer has designated an Agent for scheduling of receipts or deliveries,
then the PDA submitted by Customer's Agent shall have precedence over a PDA
submitted by Customer but such PDA
