d. The standard quantity for nominations, confirmation and
scheduling is dekatherms per gas Day in the United States,
gigajoules per gas Day in Canada and gigacalories per gas Day in
Mexico. (For reference, 1 dekatherm = 1,000,000 Btu's; 1
gigajoule = 1,000,000,000 joules; and 1 gigacalorie =
1,000,000,000 calories.) For commercial purposes, the standard
conversion factor between dekatherms and gigajoules is 1.055056
gigajoules per dekatherm and between dekatherms and gigacalories
is 0.251996 gigacalories per dekatherm. The standard Btu is the
International Btu, which is also called the Btu (IT); the standard
joule is the joule specified in the SI system of units. The
International Btu is specified for use in the gas measurement
standards of the American Gas Association, the American Petroleum
Institute, the Gas Processors Association and the American Society
for Testing Materials. For non-commercial purposes, these
associations note that the exact conversion factor is
1.05505585262 Gigajoules per Dekatherm.
e. Shipper shall include in any nominations: 1) Receipt and
Delivery Points; 2) the daily quantity of gas to be received by
Transporter at each Receipt Point; 3) fuel reimbursement
quantities for volumes at each specified Receipt Point; 4)the
daily quantity to be delivered by Transporter at each specified
Delivery Point on the desired gas Day; 5)any daily volumes to
satisfy past imbalances ; 6) Shipper-defined beginning and ending
dates; and 7) the upstream and/or downstream party's
identifier(s). The total receipt nominations, less the fuel
reimbursement quantity and any other deductions, must equal the
equivalent thermal quantity of delivery nominations.
f. A No-Notice Shipper is only required to make nominations
when separately using the FT or FSS service embedded in the NNS
service. If the primary receipt and/or delivery point is an off-
system facility point, a nomination on Transporter's system is
required to confirm the nomination for NNS.
