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 DART 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 DART or EDI if received
through DART or via EDI if received via EDI. Such notification of
acknowledgment and acceptance will be within fifteen (15) minutes of
receipt via DART if received via DART or via EDI if received via
EDI. Trailblazer's acceptance is contingent on Trailblazer being
able to administer the allocation submitted by the Allocator.
Examples of allocation methods which can be used are percentages,
pro rata, ranking, swing, matching of supply sources with specified
customers, and combinations thereof. Different methods may be
submitted for overages or underages.
