GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
12. DETERMINATION OF DAILY RECEIPTS
12.1 To the extent feasible, all volumes received by
Trailblazer at a Receipt Point shall be allocated in accordance
with the confirmed nominations for that point. In the event the
actual volumes received by Trailblazer do not equal the confirmed
nominations for that point, any underage or overage will be
allocated as follows:
(a) First, in accordance with the effective
predetermined allocations (PDAs) submitted by those entities
(Allocators) owning or controlling the gas being delivered to
Trailblazer. An operational balancing agreement (OBA) is one type
of a PDA. Shipper agrees that such an allocation is binding on
Shipper.
(b) Then, if there is no effective PDA, pro rata to
the extent applicable based on confirmed nominations or transfer
nominations, as applicable. Shipper agrees that such an allocation
is binding on Shipper.
12.2 The upstream or downstream party providing the point
confirmation should submit the PDA to the allocating party after
or during confirmation and before the start of the gas Day, except
that no other PDAs need be submitted if an OBA is in effect at a
point. Unless otherwise agreed, all PDAs must be submitted to
Trailblazer through its Interactive Website or through EDI before
the start of the gas Day the PDA is to be effective. Such PDA
shall specify how any underage or overage from the confirmed
nominated volumes should be allocated among the entities listed on
the PDA. Trailblazer shall acknowledge receipt and acceptance of
the PDA through its Interactive Website or EDI if received through
its Interactive Website or via EDI if received via EDI. Such
notification of acknowledgment and acceptance will be within
fifteen (15) minutes of receipt via its Interactive Website if
received via Trailblazer's Interactive Website or via EDI if
received via EDI. Trailblazer's acceptance is contingent on
Trailblazer being able to administer the allocation submitted by
the Allocator. Allocation methodology types upon which two parties
may agree are: ranked, pro rata, percentages, swing and operator
provided value. Other examples of allocation methods which can be
used are matching of supply sources with specified customers and
combinations of methodology types. Different methods may be
submitted for overages or underages. If the parties cannot agree,
Section 12.1(b) shall apply.
