5.4 Third-Party Imbalance Management Services
Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, a Shipper may
obtain services from a third-party provider to manage imbalances
between actual receipts and deliveries; to manage variances
between scheduled and actual deliveries; and to supply gas for
overruns.
(A) Trunkline and the third-party provider shall have entered
into an agreement which defines how such provider will
accommodate Shipper's imbalances, scheduling variances, or
overruns, how the provider is to make the corresponding
operational changes, the limitations on the level of
imbalances, scheduling variances and overruns to be
accommodated and the consequences if such levels are exceeded
or operational changes are not made. The agreement must
provide Trunkline with the ability to call on the third-party
provider on a basis consistent with service offered by the
third-party provider to the Shipper. The agreement must also
specify a predetermined allocation methodology and shall
specify the extent to which and the conditions under which
the Shipper shall be kept whole because the third-party
provider is agreeing to take the imbalance, scheduling
variance or overrun. If there is an OBA at the point at
which the imbalance management service is to be provided, the
agreement must also provide that Trunkline shall not be
responsible for balancing within the agreed limits of the
management service.
