the TPP Shipper must provide the respective MDWQs, or their
equivalent, of the TPP Service Point(s) for purposes of
allocating the Daily Imbalances among the contracts. The TPP
Service Point must be in the Transportation Path of a Firm
Transportation Agreement associated with Balancing Party's
delivery points.
(ii) Daily Imbalances: For purposes of balancing hereunder, a TPP
Shipper's Daily Imbalance (as defined in Section 7(a)(i) above)
at Delivery Point(s) shall be treated by Transporter as
scheduled transportation. Quantities taken in excess of the
scheduled deliveries at points covered by the TPP Shipper's
Balancing Agreement shall be treated as receipts at the TPP
Service Point and quantities taken below the scheduled
deliveries at points covered by the TPP Shipper's Balancing
Agreement shall be treated as deliveries at the TPP Service
Point. TPP Shipper's liability for transportation charges for
swings using a TPP Service Point shall be limited to payment of
the Transportation Component pursuant to subsection (d) of this
Section 8. Nothing herein shall exempt a TPP Shipper from
compliance with a Critical Day Notice or an Operational Flow
Order issued pursuant to Article VIII of the General Terms &
Conditions of Transporter's FERC Gas Tariff or with OBA
Transportation Service provisions, or from penalties resulting
from noncompliance.
(d) Transportation Component: Balancing Party shall be assessed or credited
a transportation component on all Daily Imbalances. When Balancing
Party takes more gas than is scheduled, Transporter shall assess a
commodity rate under its FT-A Rate Schedule for each dekatherm by which
Balancing Party exceeds its scheduled quantity. The commodity rate
shall equal the transportation rate, including fuel and all applicable
surcharges, from the zone of the Storage Contract or TPP Service Point
to the zone where the Balancing Party's delivery point(s) are located.
When Balancing Party takes less gas than is scheduled, Transporter shall
credit Balancing Party an amount using the commodity rate under its FT-A
Rate Schedule. The commodity rate shall equal the difference between
the rate for transportation from Transporter's Zone 1 to the Zone of the
OBA Delivery Point(s) and Zone 1 to the Storage Contract or TPP Service
Point, including fuel and all applicable surcharges. However, credits
under this section shall not exceed, on a unit-for-unit basis, the
average commodity transportation rate paid for deliveries to the points
covered by Balancing Party's Balancing Agreement during the applicable
month. Balancing Party may elect to resolve the fuel portion of the
Transportation Component through a volumetric adjustment to the Storage
Contract or TPP storage balance. Applicable fuel charges shall be
treated as automatic storage withdrawals and applicable fuel credits
shall be treated as automatic storage injections.
