25. MONTHLY IMBALANCE RESOLUTION (Continued)
25.7 Trading Fee for OBA Imbalances: When an OBA Party trades across zones within an OIA,
the OBA Party holding a positive OBA Imbalance shall pay Seller the applicable
interruptible trading fee which shall be the mileage component of the currently
effective Rate Schedule IT rate for the zones of trade, excluding the zone of
delivery, times the quantity traded across zones (after Seller retains fuel for the
zones of trade excluding the zone of receipt). The interruptible trading fees and the
trading fuel retention percentages are included on currently effective Sheet Nos. 87
and 88 of this Tariff. The trading fee and trading fuel retention percentages do not
apply to any backhaul portion of a trade. The trading fee and trading fuel retention
percentages may change from time to time as reflected in Seller's FERC Gas Tariff
filed with and approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. To the extent
Seller's Rate Schedule IT rates and fuel retention percentages are assessed subject to
refund, the trading fee shall also be assessed subject to refund.
25.8 Final Resolution of OBA Imbalances: If an OBA Party has an OBA Imbalance remaining
after the close of the Trading Period, Seller and the OBA Party shall resolve the
resulting OBA Imbalance in accordance with the procedures set forth in the OBA. The
imbalance resolution provisions of an OBA that are negotiable are limited to: (1) the
option to choose for final resolution of imbalances either cash out only, in-kind with
a cash out option, or all in-kind; (2) the percentage that will be returned in-kind if
the option to resolve imbalances in-kind with a cash out option is chosen for final
imbalance resolution; (3) alternate cash out prices using different Reference Spot
Prices and/or publications; and (4) whether or not the OBA may trade imbalances
consistent with Section 25.6 above.
If an OBA Party agrees to the all in-kind imbalance resolution procedure and that OBA
Party fails to resolve imbalances in-kind and such remaining imbalance quantity is
greater than 1,000 dt (including any unresolved imbalances from previous month(s)) by
the 17th business day of the month following the production month, the OBA Party will
pay a fee equal to the cumulative imbalance quantity remaining at the end of the 17th
business day multiplied by one times the "first day of service" PAL charge plus twenty
nine times the "each consecutive day of service" PAL charge as set forth on currently
effective Sheet No. 36 of this Tariff. Payment of the fee does not absolve the OBA
Party of its obligation to resolve any imbalance in-kind. Any revenues received in
association with this fee shall be accounted for as part of Seller's imbalance cash
out program, pursuant to Section 15, herein.
25.9 All balancing shall be based on the zone of receipt within an OIA. Buyer or OBA Party
may nominate transactions (in accordance with Section 28 of the General Terms and
Conditions) during the month to correct imbalances in the zone within an OIA.
Seller's ability to receive or deliver imbalance quantities shall be dependent upon
Seller's physical operations, and Seller is under no obligation to allow receipt or
delivery of such quantities for resolution of imbalances if it determines, in its sole
opinion, such activity would jeopardize pipeline operations.
