GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
If, upon test, any measuring equipment shall be found to be inaccurate by an
amount exceeding two percent, at a recording corresponding to the average hourly
rate of flow for the period since the last preceding test, then any previous
recordings of such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period
which is known definitely, but in case the period is not known or agreed upon,
such correction shall be for a period extending over one-half of the time
elapsed since the date of the last test, not exceeding a correction period of
sixteen days.
6. Correction of metering errors--failure of meters: In the event a meter is out
of service, or registering inaccurately, the volume of gas delivered shall be
determined:
(a) by using the registration of any check meter or meters, if installed
and accurately registering, or, in the absence of (a);
(b) by correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by
calibration, tests, or mathematical calculation, or in the absence of
both (a) and (b);
(c) by estimating the quantity of the delivery by use of deliveries during
periods under similar conditions when the meter was registering
accurately.
7. Correction of metering errors - adjustments: A measurement data correction
shall become a prior period adjustment (PPA) after the fifth (5th) business day
following the production month.
NAESB Standard 2.3.14 (Version 1.8) states: Measurement data corrections should
be processed within 6 months of the production month with a 3-month rebuttal
period. This standard shall not apply in the case of deliberate omission or
misrepresentation or mutual mistake of fact. Parties' other statutory or
contractual rights shall not otherwise be diminished by this standard.
8. Preservation of metering records: Transporter, Shipper and Operator shall each
preserve for a period of at least one year all test data, charts and other
similar records.

imbalance statement should be rendered prior to or with the invoice, and the
transportation invoice should be prepared on or before the 9th business day
after the end of the production month. Rendered is defined as postmarked, time-
stamped, and delivered to the designated site.
Invoices may be rendered by mail or electronic communication. Transporter may
render separate invoices for demand charges, commodity charges and cash-out
charges.
2. Right of examination: Both Transporter and Shipper shall have the right to
examine at any reasonable time the applicable books and records (or portions
thereof) of the other, necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement made
under or pursuant to the provisions of the gas service contract. Upon receipt
of a request, the requestee will either send the relevant information to the
requestor or will provide the requestor the right to review such information in
the requestee's offices.
