GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
15. BALANCING AND NOMINATION VARIANCE PROCEDURES (Continued)
15.15 MDDQ Unauthorized Overrun Penalties:
15.15.1 MDDQ Unauthorized Overrun penalties will only apply to
any affected delivery point(s) during times when the delivery
point(s), and/or associated line section or subsystem is in
allocation and/or when the delivery point(s), and/or associated
line section, or subsystem has been interrupted and/or a
situation, as described in Subsection 16.2 of these General Terms
and Conditions, exists at the delivery point(s), and/or associated
line section, or subsystem. Transporter will notify affected
Shippers during the scheduling process, as described in Section 9
of these General Terms and Conditions, of such allocation,
interruption or critical situation by an acceptable electronic
communication mechanism.
15.15.2 Rate Schedule FT-1 quantities taken at a delivery
point(s) which exceed the applicable MDDQ, as adjusted pursuant to
the CAP, by more than the greater of two (2) percent or forty (40)
dkt, and that have not been authorized pursuant to Section 6 of
Rate Schedule FT-1, will be treated as MDDQ Unauthorized Overruns
and charged five (5) times the unauthorized overrun Index Price.
The unauthorized overrun Index Price shall consist of the
arithmetic average of the posted index prices in the "Inside FERC
Gas Market Report" for Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG-Rocky
Mountains) and Northern Natural Gas Company (Ventura, Iowa), as
established for the first day of the month following the month in
which the MDDQ Unauthorized Overrun occurred.
15.15.3 MDDQ Unauthorized Overrun Penalty Credits: Transporter
shall credit to Qualifying Rate Schedule FT-1 Shipper(s) any MDDQ
Unauthorized Overrun Penalty revenues received from any of
Transporter's Shippers, net of Transporter's costs. For purposes
of this Subsection, Qualifying Rate Schedule FT-1 Shippers shall
include those Shippers who did not themselves incur any MDDQ
Unauthorized Overrun Penalty obligation under Subsection 15.15.2
during the month in which the MDDQ Unauthorized Overrun Penalty
was incurred. MDDQ Unauthorized Overrun Penalty revenues to be
credited shall be calculated by summing the revenues received for
MDDQ Unauthorized Overrun Penalties less any costs incurred by
Transporter. If the sum is positive (net MDDQ Unauthorized
Overrun Penalty revenues exceed net costs) Transporter shall
credit such excess revenues to the Qualified Shipper(s).
