5. SCHEDULING AND BALANCING
5.1 Buyer shall nominate service under this Rate Schedule in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 28.1 of the General Terms and Conditions subject to
(a) and (b) below. Seller, in its sole judgment, may waive any nomination and ranking
deadlines, on a non-discriminatory basis, if Seller determines that operating
conditions permit. Buyer shall nominate receipt point quantities for delivery to the
nominated points of delivery. Such nominated quantities shall be subject to
confirmation by Seller which shall be based on the best operating information
available to Seller. Such confirmed quantity shall be deemed the scheduled quantity.
Buyer and Seller shall have scheduling personnel available to be contacted 7 days a
week, 24 hours a day, and Buyer shall cause the operators at the point(s) of receipt
and delivery to do the same.
(a) Buyer may request to re-nominate gas supplies from available alternative receipt
point(s) during the day (subject to verification and confirmation by Seller) in
accordance to Section 28.1 of the General Terms and Conditions in order to
mitigate unexpected gas production outages. Seller will use all reasonable
efforts to accommodate such requests, when operating conditions on Seller's
system permit.
(b) Buyer may take daily delivery, at the point(s) of delivery set forth in Buyer's
Service Agreement hereunder, of quantities greater than or less than the
quantities scheduled in advance pursuant to this Section 5.1, pursuant to the
procedures outlined in Section 18.1 of the General Terms and Conditions governing
designation of delivery point "swing" services at non-pipeline interconnects;
provided however in no event shall Buyer take delivery of quantities hereunder
greater than the Scheduled Daily Delivery Quantity, as defined in Section 2(g) of
the General Terms and Conditions on a day when interruptible capacity on Seller's
system is restricted or when service hereunder is limited pursuant to the
provisions of Section 11.3(d) of Seller's General Terms and Conditions.
5.2 Buyer shall have the responsibility to adjust and maintain a concurrent balance
between receipts and deliveries based on the best information available to Buyer.
Seller shall have the responsibility to monitor daily receipts and daily deliveries
during the month based on the best operating information available to Seller
(including electronic gas measurement - estimates or actuals) and make such
information available in accordance with Section 29 of the General Terms and
Conditions. Seller shall install the appropriate equipment and facilities on its
pipeline system as determined by Seller to accurately measure gas receipts and
deliveries. Any imbalances between Buyer's deliveries of gas for transportation and
Seller's redeliveries shall be kept to a minimum. For daily imbalances between
receipts and deliveries exceeding 10 percent or 1,000 dt (whichever is greater) or
cumulative imbalances exceeding 5 percent or 1,000 dt (whichever is greater) Seller,
upon notice to Buyer, which notice shall be given at least 24 hours in advance, unless
exigent circumstances dictate otherwise, may issue Operational Controls or Operational
Flow Orders pursuant to Sections 51 and 52 of the General Terms and Conditions to
require adjustments to Buyer's daily scheduling of receipts or deliveries over a
reasonable period of time to maintain a concurrent balance when the operational
integrity of Seller's pipeline system would otherwise be threatened.
