5. BILLING AND PAYMENT

5.1 When the information necessary for billing purposes is in

the control of the operator of the measuring facility and

not in Richfield's control, then the operator of the

measuring facility shall furnish to Richfield daily

operational quantity information concerning the previous

twenty-four (24) hours within one (1) business day after

the end of the gas day.

5.2 The measuring party shall furnish actual quantity

information to Richfield. The cutoff for the closing of

measurement is 5 business days after business month. The

measuring party shall provide the estimate of missing or

late measurement data and Richfield shall treat actual

quantity information as a prior period adjustment. No

imbalance penalty shall be imposed when a prior period

adjustment applied to the current period causes or

increases a current month penalty.

5.3 Imbalance statements will be generated at the same time

or prior to the generation of the bill for service. The

imbalance statement will be rendered prior to or with the

bill, and the bill will be prepared on or before the

ninth (9th) business day after the end of the preceding

month. Rendered is defined as postmarked, time-stamped,

and delivered. Bills will be based on actuals (if

available) or best available data. Quantities at Points

of Delivery or Redelivery where OBAs exist will be billed

on scheduled quantities.
