8.2. If an upstream or downstream party requires additional information, if the
volumes transported are subject to a discounted rate, of if additional
information is otherwise required by Transporter, then, upon notification by
Transporter, Shipper must include in each nomination such additional
information as is specified by Transporter. Nominations must be submitted
to Transporter through Transporter’s Website, or such other means as are
mutually agreed upon by Transporter and Shipper. The sending party should
adhere to nomination, confirmation and scheduling deadlines. The receiving
party may waive any submittal deadline in this section.
8.3. The standard quantity for nominations, confirmation and scheduling is
MMBtu’s per day in the United States, gigajoules per day in Canada and
gigacalories per day in Mexico. (For reference, 1 dekatherm = 1,000,000
Btus; 1 gigajoule – 1,000,000,000 joules; and 1 gigacalorie = 1,000,000,000
calories.) For commercial purposes, the standard conversion factor between
MMBtu’s and gigajoules is 1.055056 gigajoules per MMBtu and between MMBtu’s
and gigacalories is 0.251996 gigacalories per MMBtu. The standard Btu is
the International Btu; the Standard joule is the joule specified in the SI
system of units. The International Btu is specified for use in the Gas
measurement standards of the American Gas Association, the American
Petroleum Institute, the Gas Processors Association and the American Society
for Testing Materials. For non-commercial purposes, these associations note
that the exact conversion factor is 1.05505585262 gigajoules per MMBtu.
