5.7 Confirmation of Nominated Quantities
Nomination made in accordance with this Section 5 of the General Terms
and Conditions shall not be effective until Sabine has confirmed the
nominated receipt quantities with upstream Operators and the nominated
delivery quantities with downstream Operators. Shipper shall advise
Sabine of the appropriate contact persons with upstream and downstream
Operators who have the authority to verify and confirm nominated gas
quantities.
Prior to scheduling nominated quantities for transportation service
requested by Shippers, Sabine will contact the appropriate Operators at
the designated Receipt and Delivery Points in order to confirm the
nominated quantities. For Standard Nominations, Sabine will receive
completed confirmations from upstream and downstream Operators by 3:30
p.m. Central Clock Time on the Day prior to flow. For Intraday
Nominations, Sabine will receive completed confirmations from upstream
and downstream Operators according to the following schedule: Evening
Nomination Cycle - 9:00 p.m. Central Clock Time on the Day prior to
flow; Intraday 1 Nomination Cycle - 1:00 p.m. Central Clock Time on the
Gas Day; Intraday 2 Nomination Cycle - 8:00 p.m. Central Clock Time on
the Gas Day.
Sabine may reject, in whole or in part, any nominated quantities where
the daily quantities of gas Shipper desires to be transported, the
upstream shipper name(s) and contract number(s), or the downstream
shipper name(s) and contract number(s) fail to conform with the
information provided by the designated Operators at the Receipt and
Delivery Points.
If all information conforms except for the daily quantities of gas
Shipper desires to have Sabine receive and/or deliver, Sabine shall
confirm and schedule the nomination at the lower of the daily quantities
nominated by Shipper to Sabine and the daily quantities the Operators
can confirm for scheduling at the designated Receipt and Delivery
Points. Shipper shall be responsible for informing its upstream and
downstream parties of any differences between confirmed quantities and
nominated quantities.
6. SCHEDULING AND CURTAILMENT
The term "scheduling" refers to the allocation of Available Capacity on
Sabine's System during each nomination cycle. Promptly following the
nomination deadline for each cycle, Sabine shall evaluate all timely
nominations for the cycle in light of prevailing operating conditions,
planned or unplanned maintenance or repairs, and similar conditions.
Sabine shall then schedule transportation service to the extent capacity
is available, allocating capacity, if necessary, pursuant to this
Section.
At each scheduling priority, if sufficient capacity isn't available,
nominations shall be scheduled pro rata based on confirmed nomination
quantities.
When resolving constraints, Sabine shall evaluate and schedule
constrained Delivery Points first, followed by constrained Receipt
Points, and finally constrained pipeline sections.
6.1 Scheduling of Point Capacity
Point capacity shall be scheduled in the following priority order (from
highest to lowest):
a) Nominations with a flow direction opposite of the physical flow
direction at a point shall be scheduled first since this
nominations potentially create capacity at the point.

Sabine shall further prioritize nominations within this scheduling
class as follows:
i) Primary Receipt/Delivery Point
ii) In-Path Alternate Receipt/Delivery Point
iii) Out-of-Path Alternate Receipt/Delivery Point
c) Nominations for interruptible transportation service.
Sabine shall further prioritize nominations within this scheduling
class as follows:
i) Maximum Rate
After Sabine schedules firm transportation service pursuant
to Subsection 6.1 b), any remaining capacity shall be
scheduled to interruptible transportation service at maximum
rate. Interruptible Shippers paying a Negotiated Rate that
if higher than the maximum tariff rate for interruptible
service, as set forth on the currently effective Sheet No.
20 of this FERC Gas Tariff, shall be afforded the same
priority as if the service was at maximum rate.
ii) Less Than Maximum Rate
After Sabine schedules interruptible transportation service
pursuant to Subsection 6.1 c) i), any remaining capacity
shall be scheduled to interruptible transportation service
at less than maximum rate. Such capacity shall be scheduled
first to Shipper(s) paying the highest percentage of maximum
rate, then to Shipper(s) paying the next highest percentage
of maximum rate. Sabine shall continue this process until
all capacity at the point is scheduled.
6.2 Scheduling of Pipeline Section Capacity
Pipeline section capacity shall be scheduled in the following priority
order (from highest to lowest):
a) Nominations with a flow direction opposite of the physical flow
direction in the pipeline section shall be scheduled first since
these nominations potentially create capacity in the pipeline
section.
b) Nominations for firm transportation service.
Sabine shall further prioritize nominations within this scheduling
class as follows:
i) In-Path, In-Direction
ii) In-Path, Out-of-Direction
iii) Out-of-Path
c) Nominations for interruptible transportation service.
Sabine shall further prioritize nominations within this scheduling
class as follows:
i) Maximum Rate
After Sabine schedules firm transportation service pursuant
to Subsection 6.2 b), any remaining capacity shall be
scheduled to interruptible transportation service at maximum
rate. Interruptible Shippers paying a Negotiated Rate that
if higher than the maximum tariff rate for interruptible
service, as set forth on the currently effective Sheet No.
20 of this FERC Gas Tariff, shall be afforded the same
priority as if the service was at maximum rate.
ii) Less Than Maximum Rate
After Sabine schedules interruptible transportation service
pursuant to Subsection 6.1 c) i), any remaining capacity
shall be scheduled to interruptible transportation service
at less than maximum rate. Such capacity shall be scheduled
first to Shipper(s) paying the highest percentage of maximum
rate, then to Shipper(s) paying the next highest percentage
of maximum rate. Sabine shall continue this process until
all capacity at the point is scheduled.
6.3 Bump Protection
a) Evening and Intraday 1 Nomination Cycles
Nominations for firm transportation service received in the
Evening and/or Intraday 1 Nomination Cycles will not bump
previously scheduled and/or flowing nominations for firm
transportation service, but may bump previously scheduled and/or
flowing nominations for interruptible transportation service.
Nominations for interruptible transportation service received in
the Evening and/or Intraday 1 Nomination Cycles will not bump
previously scheduled and/or flowing nominations for interruptible
transportation service, regardless of the percentage of maximum
rate paid for such scheduled and/or flowing nominations for
interruptible transportation service.
b) Intraday 2 Nomination Cycle
