its operationally available capacity for Nominations that have not
already been scheduled for a given Gas Day in accordance with the
following priorities of service:
(a) First, Nominations for firm service under Rate Schedule SGS-
2F and Transporter's firm balancing rights will be scheduled. If
all such Nominations cannot be accommodated, available capacity
for injections will be allocated pro rata based on Transporter's
and Shipper's Storage Capacities and available capacity for
withdrawals will be allocated pro rata based on Transporter's and
Shipper's Contract Demand, which is subject to the limitations in
Rate Schedule SGS-2F, Section 9.2.
(b) Second, Nominations for deliveries of Deferred Exchange
Quantities at Jackson Prairie under Rate Schedule DEX-1, up to the
Daily Delivery Quantity, will be scheduled. If all such
Nominations cannot be accommodated, capacity will be allocated
based on rate, highest to lowest. For services at the same rates,
any necessary allocations of available capacity will be pro rata
based on otherwise acceptable and confirmable Nominations.
(c) Third, Nominations for Transporter's best-efforts system
balancing requirements will be scheduled.
(d) Fourth, Nominations (including Shipper's requests for in-
ground storage transfers) for interruptible storage capacity under
Rate Schedules SGS-2F (as best-efforts), SGS-2I and/or PAL will be
scheduled. If all such storage capacity Nominations cannot be
accommodated, available capacity will be allocated based on rate,
highest to lowest. For services at the same rates, any necessary
allocations of available capacity will be pro rata based on
otherwise acceptable and confirmable Nominations. To the extent
there is more storage capacity than there is injection and/or
withdrawal capacity, Transporter will separately and subsequently
allocate capacity for in-ground transfer requests using the
methodologies herein.
