12. SCHEDULING PRIORITIES AND CURTAILMENT POLICY (Continued)
(b) Second, Nominations for interruptible service under
Rate Schedules LS-2I and Nominations for overrun service under
Rate Schedules LS-1 and LS-2F will be scheduled. If all such
Nominations cannot be accommodated, available capacity will be
allocated according to the rates applicable to the service, from
highest to lowest. For services at the same rates, any necessary
allocations will be pro rata based on Nominations. For services
with Negotiated Rates, the rates used for scheduling priorities
are delineated in Section 12.5.
12.5 Negotiated Rate Used to Establish Priority
For non-firm services subject to Negotiated Rates, the rate used for
scheduling priorities will be:
(1) the lower of the Negotiated Rate or the corresponding
Recourse Rate, if the Negotiated Rate is a stated rate;
(2) the lower of the minimum Negotiated Rate or the
corresponding Recourse Rate, if the Negotiated Rate is a formula
rate with a specified minimum; or
(3) the corresponding minimum base rate set forth on the
Statement of Rates, if the Negotiated Rate is a formula rate
without a specified minimum.
12.6 Bumping
Previously Scheduled Quantities for interruptible, overrun or best-
efforts, and park and loan services may be bumped in accordance with the
following procedures:
(a) Transporter will give scheduling priority to Firm
Nominations submitted during the evening Nomination and intraday
1 Nomination cycles over previously Scheduled Quantities for
interruptible, overrun or best-efforts, and park and loan
services. The elapsed-prorated-scheduled quantity process will
apply to previously Scheduled Quantities bumped in the intraday 1
Nomination cycle.
