RATE SCHEDULE ITS (continued)
(b) As a form of interruptible transportation service under this
Rate Schedule ITS, Transporter may provide interruptible
transportation backhaul only service, subject to the restrictions
set forth in this paragraph, consisting of the receipt of
Shipper's Gas at a Point or Points of Receipt east of Noark
Compressor Station on Transporter's system and redelivery of an
equivalent quantity of Gas for Shipper's account at the Wilburton
and/or Boiling Springs Points of Delivery at a location on
Transporter's system upstream of the designated Point of Receipt.
Transporter may grant a Shipper's request for interruptible
transportation backhaul service if Transporter determines: (1)
that it has adequate capacity at the requested Point(s) of Receipt
and Point(s) of Delivery to accommodate Shipper's requested MDQ;
(2) that adequate forward haul transportation quantities exist on
Transporter's system between Shipper's requested Point(s) of
Delivery and Point(s) of Receipt to offset Shipper's requested
backhaul MDQ and allow sufficient flows on all affected pipeline
segments so as not to compromise Transporter's operational
integrity or the provision of forward haul services; and (3) that
the requested interruptible backhaul transportation service will
reduce the hydraulic loads on Transporter's system. Shipper's use
of Receipt or Delivery Points other than those specified in its
service agreement shall be subject to Transporter's determination
that Shipper's backhaul service continues to meet the three
criteria described in the preceding sentence. Shipper's
interruptible backhaul transportation service may be curtailed in
the event that Transporter no longer provides quantities of
forward haul transportation service that, in the aggregate, are
sufficient, on Transporter's system between Shipper's Point(s) of
Delivery and Point(s) of Receipt, to offset backhaul
transportation nominations on relevant portions of Ozark's system
and allow sufficient flows on all affected pipeline segments so as
not to compromise Transporter's operational integrity or the
provision of forward haul services. Interruptible backhaul
service shall have a lower priority than firm backhaul service
and, in the event Transporter is able to transport only a portion
of its interruptible backhaul nominations, shall be curtailed on
the basis of price; provided, however, that if two or more
interruptible backhaul Shippers are paying the same price, on a
pro rata basis. Transporter shall not be required to construct
new facilities to provide interruptible transportation backhaul
service. Charges for interruptible backhaul transportation
service shall be as set forth on Sheet No. 13. Except as set
forth in this paragraph, interruptible transportation backhaul
service shall be governed by the provisions of Transporter's Rate
Schedule ITS.
2.2 Transporter shall make available for service hereunder any
capacity which, at any time, it has available on an interruptible
basis throughout the Year (or any portion of the Year to which
service is limited under the ITS Agreement).
