GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
13. IMBALANCES AND OVERRUNS
13.1 Responsibility for Balancing – Shippers are obligated to deliver and receive Gas in
conformance with their confirmed nominations. Transporter will enter into an Operational
Balancing Agreement (“OBA”) at all points of interconnection between its system and the
system of another interstate or intrastate pipeline. Transporter may, but is not
obligated to, enter into an OBA to address imbalances at other points on its System. If
an OBA is not in place or the imbalance is beyond the terms of the OBA, Shippers are
responsible for conforming their takes at Delivery Points with their deliveries to
Transporter at Receipt Points each day. Transporter has no obligation to deliver for the
account of a Shipper more volumes of Gas than Transporter has received for the account of
the Shipper or to accept for the account of the Shipper more volumes of Gas than are
being delivered for the account of the Shipper on any day.
13.2 Daily Imbalances
13.2.1 Each Shipper is responsible for balancing the receipts and deliveries of its
agreement(s) on a daily basis. It shall be Shipper’s responsibility, whether or
not delegated to an agent, to cause Gas to be delivered to Transporter as
scheduled at the receipt point(s) and cause Gas to be taken from Transporter at
the delivery point(s) in accordance with the applicable scheduled quantities.
13.2.2 If a Shipper has created an imbalance by failing to conform its receipts to
deliveries, then Transporter, after notification to Shipper, may require Shipper
to nominate, within the same gas day, to clear such imbalance Payback Quantities
or to cash-out any such imbalance in accordance with the downstream pipeline’s
FERC Gas Tariff or OBA with Transporter. Transporter may require Shipper to
nominate, confirm and schedule Payback Quantities to clear an imbalance using a
uniform hourly rate of flow. If necessary for operational purposes or to avoid
cash-out penalties, Transporter may adjust scheduled volumes to match daily
flows.
