GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 20
20. IMBALANCE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES
20.1 Cash-out and Trading Provisions - It is the responsibility of the
Customer to eliminate end-of-month imbalances. Any net imbalance
remaining between allocated receipt quantities and allocated
delivery quantities, or any NNS or NNS-SCO end of month imbalance
may be resolved through the cash-out or trading methods. NNS or
NNS-SCO imbalances are defined as injected volumes in excess of
the NNS Maximum Storage Quantity (MSQ) or withdrawal volumes in
excess of NNS Storage inventory. On or before the ninth business
day of each month, Gulf South will send Customer a statement
detailing the imbalance quantity by Customer during the preceding
month. For purposes of offsetting imbalances, Gulf South shall
post a list of Customers who are either long into the pipeline or
short into the pipeline and at Customer's request will also post
on the Internet Web Site that Customer's end of the month
imbalance position. Customers will have until the seventeenth
(17th) business day of the month to resolve any imbalance
positions. All trades shall be requested and confirmed via Gulf
South's Internet Web Site. In the event of a failure or technical
difficulties with Gulf South's electronic communications system,
trade requests and confirmations may be submitted via facsimile
at (713) 479-1791 using Gulf South's Imbalance Trading Form. All
failures must be communicated to Gulf South prior to submitting a
trade via facsimile by contacting technical support at (713) 479-
8215.
(A) Trading Methods to Correct Imbalances - Imbalances may be
corrected by trading under the following methods:
(1) Trading between Transportation Contracts - Gulf South
offsets imbalances created under Customer's
transportation contracts (FTS, ITS, PS, FTS-SCO, NNS
or NNS-SCO) regardless of rate type. A Customer may
offset this net imbalance created under its FTS, ITS,
PS, FTS-SCO, NNS or NNS-SCO contracts with other
Customers that have imbalances created under FTS,
ITS, PS, FTS-SCO, NNS or NNS-SCO regardless of rate
type. A Customer who is long one month and short the
next month cannot offset the two months with his own
contracts or another customer's contracts. Each
month's imbalance can only be offset with an opposite
imbalance incurred for the same month. Offsetting
transactions under this paragraph will be allowed
without an additional charge to any Customer.
