GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
26. PREDETERMINED ALLOCATIONS.
26.1 A Predetermined Allocation ("PDA") is an instruction from the
participants in the scheduling process that is submitted in
advance of Natural Gas flow that tells Transporter how much and in
what order to allocate quantities of Natural Gas among the various
participants in the scheduling process after Natural Gas has
flowed. Transporter will permit upstream and downstream
operators, and all owners of Natural Gas that submit a Nomination
or confirmation, to submit a PDA for each Day. PDAs must be
submitted prior to Natural Gas flow. Transporter will send a
confirmation that it has received a PDA within 15 minutes of
receipt. If a PDA is not submitted prior to Natural Gas flow,
Transporter will allocate Natural Gas to each Shipper on a pro
rata basis based on Nominations.
26.2 Transporter will strive to provide the most accurate and timely
data available. To the extent possible, Transporter will base
prior period adjustments on actual measurement data and finalized
allocations.
26.3 Transporter will support the following allocation methodology
types at all points: ranked, pro rata, percentage, swing, and
operator provided value. Transporter will accept the PDA if
operationally or administratively feasible. Transporter will not
limit the number of PDA allocation methodologies that may be used
during an allocation period. If the PDA allocation methodology is
rank, swing, operator provided value or percentage, a new PDA may
be required if the Nominations change affects an existing PDA. If
an OBA is in effect at a point, a PDA is not required to be
submitted. Transporter will post on its Internet Website those
Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery where an OBA is in
effect.
26.4 Transporter will report daily operational allocations within one
Business Day after the end of the Gas Day in which Natural Gas has
flowed. If the best available data for reporting daily
operational allocations is the scheduled quantity, Transporter
will use the scheduled quantity for the daily operational
allocation. Shipper may rely on Transporter's daily operational
allocation for adjusting Nominations to avoid imbalances.
26.5 Transporter will calculate and report allocated quantities, and
provide allocation statements. Allocations will be provided by
party, contract and location. Allocations at Point(s) of Delivery
will be performed at the lowest level of detail provided by
Nominations and PDAs.
26.6 Any PDA submitted in accordance with the provisions set forth in
this Section 26 shall be binding as to Transporter and as to each
and every entity to whom gas is allocated at the Point(s) of
Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery. Transporter shall not be liable
to any Shipper or third party as a result of Transporter's
reliance on any PDA received in accordance with the provisions set
forth in this Section 26.
