GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
9. NOMINATION AND SCHEDULING PROCEDURES (Continued)
waiver and shall be posted on Transporter's Website. In instances where
Transporter accepts nominations pursuant to Subsection 9.6.1,
Transporter will consider such nominations on an equal basis with
nominations submitted via an electronic communication mechanism.
9.6.1 Transporter will accept nominations received via an
alternate method, i.e. facsimile, mail or hand-delivery, in an
emergency situation, such as the failure of Transporter's
electronic communication mechanism utilized by Shipper or, at the
discretion of Transporter, in other instances when Shipper is
unable to communicate such nomination via an electronic
communication mechanism. Shipper shall contact Transporter's
Nomination Center by telephone, prior to sending a nomination via
such alternate method, to receive a verbal confirmation of the
waiver of the electronic communication requirement and to advise
Transporter's Nomination Center that a nomination via an alternate
method is forthcoming.
9.7 The sending party (i.e. Shipper for sending nominations to
Transporter, Transporter for issuing quick response) should adhere to
the nomination, confirmation, and scheduling deadlines. It is the party
receiving the request who has the right to waive the deadline. The
receiver of a nomination initiates the confirmation process. The party
that would receive a request for confirmation or an unsolicited
confirmation response may waive the obligation of the sender to send.
9.8 To the extent that nominations or deliveries are due to be made
on a non-business day(s), Transporter requests, but does not require,
nominations for all such days be made by 11:30 a.m. Central Clock Time
on the last regular business day immediately preceding such non-business
day(s). Transporter will, however, support a seven-days-a-week, twenty-
four-hours-a-day nominations process. It is recognized that the success
of seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day nominations process is
dependent on the availability of affected parties' scheduling personnel
on a similar basis. Transporter's nomination personnel may not be at
their ordinary work sites but will be available by telephone or beeper
and will process any new nomination or intra-day nomination received on
a non-business day on which upstream/downstream confirmation can be
obtained.
