GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
based first on the request for service or contract
effective date, and then, if two or more shippers have
the same request for service date, the service shall be
prorated based on the requested daily volumes. Firm
shippers shall be interrupted pro rata based on their
contracted-for demand. Nothing in this provision shall
limit Transporter's right to interrupt service on any
other reasonable basis (including pro rata interruption
within a class of service) in order to insure system
integrity.
9.3 Transporter shall provide Shipper five days' notice
of any interruption, or as much notice as is possible, in
order to permit Shipper to make the election available
under 9.2. Such notice shall state the discounted
rates being paid by other shippers, the quantities being
transported at such rates and the estimated reduced
quantities of gas that can be transported.
9.4 In the event gas supply shortages at Delivery points
occur due to capacity constraints, such shortages shall
be handled under the following procedure:
(a) If any Shipper of Transporter experiences or
anticipates a supply emergency which could cause
injury to essential human needs and minimum plant
protection, such Shipper shall utilize to fullest
extent possible all of Shipper's existing gas supply
arrangements, including storage inventories and
available self-help measures to alleviate such
emergency prior to requesting assistance from
Transporter and other Shippers pursuant to this
section.
(b) Any assistance required to resolve a supply
emergency will be based, to the maximum extent
possible, on voluntary, market-based arrangements
involving a sale of gas by a willing seller to the
Shipper experiencing the emergency shortage, at a
rate to be negotiated by the parties to this sale.
Such transaction could involve the pre-arrangement
of portfolios of divertable supply, or short-term
arrangements through the use of Transporter's
electronic bulletin board or any other arrangement
acceptable to the parties to this sale.
