6. MONTHLY IMBALANCES (Continued)
(d) Limitation on Charges
Any imbalances caused by an event as set forth in Section 10 of the General Terms
and Conditions, or by Company's actions (including providing the Balancing
Parties inaccurate balancing information), or by Balancing Party's compliance
with an OFO issued pursuant to Section 8 of the General Terms and Conditions,
will not be included in the calculation of the total monthly imbalance for
purposes of determining the appropriate cash-out level and will be cashed out at
the 0-5 percent tolerance level, as set forth in Subsection 6(b) above.
(e) Operational Integrity
Nothing in this Section 6 shall limit Company's right to take action as may be
required to adjust receipts of gas in order to alleviate conditions that threaten
the integrity of its system.
(f) Disposition of Charges
At the conclusion of each annual period, Company will determine the net cashout
activity. All imbalance charge revenues received by Company in accordance with
Subsection 6(b) that are in excess of Company's costs, including, but not limited
to, (i) payments made by Company in accordance with Subsection 6(b), and
(ii) Company's gas costs and fuel and loss costs properly allocable to Balancing
Parties and (iii) administrative costs will be credited against the demand
charges of all firm Shippers, pro rata based on Transportation Quantities. To
the extent that the cashout activity in any annual period results in a negative
balance, such balance will be carried forward and applied to the next annual
determination of cashout activity. At the end of each annual period, Company
will file a report and refund plan with the Commission. At that time all
Balancing Parties/Shippers will have the right to challenge the refund
calculations and allocation methodology.
