19. PRIORITY OF SERVICE, SCHEDULING, AND NOMINATIONS
19.1 Priority of Firm Service
Firm service shall have the highest priority on GTN's
System. From time to time, GTN may not have sufficient
capacity to accommodate all nominations for firm service through
a given segment of its pipeline, Receipt Point, or Delivery Point.
In that event, GTN shall schedule firm service using the
following priorities.
19.1A FIRM SCHEDULING PRIORITIES THROUGH PIPELINE SEGMENTS.
GTN shall first schedule nominations for service within a
shipper's Primary Path. In the event GTN has insufficient
capacity to schedule all nominations for service within Shippers'
Primary Paths, GTN shall schedule service to Shippers
nominating for service along Primary Paths on a pro rata basis in
accordance with each shipper's MDQ.
GTN will next schedule nominations for service within a
shipper's Reverse Path. In the event GTN has insufficient
capacity to schedule all nominations for service within Shippers'
Reverse Paths, GTN shall schedule service to Shippers
nominating for service along Reverse Paths on a pro rata basis in
accordance with each shipper's MDQ.
19.1B FIRM SCHEDULING PRIORITIES THROUGH RECEIPT POINTS.
First, GTN shall schedule service to those shippers for
whom the constrained receipt point is a Primary Receipt Point,
up to each shipper's MDQ at that point (plus an allowance for
fuel). In the event full service cannot be provided to
shippers holding Primary Receipt Point rights, service will be
scheduled on a pro rata basis based on each shipper's primary
MDQ at that point.
