RATE SCHEDULE IBS
INTERRUPTIBLE BALANCING SERVICE
-------------------------------
state the effective date of such rate change and the quantity of gas
so affected. Unless otherwise agreed in the IBS Agreement or in a
separate discount agreement, Natural may at any time further change
such rate (subject to any restrictions as to maximum or minimum
rates set out in this Tariff, the IBS Agreement and/or any discount
agreement) upon twenty-four (24) hours' verbal notice to Shipper,
which notice shall be confirmed in writing. Such notification shall
specifically state the effective date of such rate change and the
quantity of gas so affected. Natural shall file with the Commission
any and all reports as required by the Commission's Regulations with
respect to the institution or discontinuance of any discount.
5.6 All revenues and gas in kind collected by Natural as a
result of providing service under this Rate Schedule IBS shall be
retained by Natural unless Natural has otherwise explicitly agreed
on a different disposition of such amounts. Where crediting or
refund mechanisms apply under other provision(s) of this Tariff or
pursuant to effective Commission orders or settlements, such
mechanisms shall supersede this Section to the extent necessary to
carry out such provision(s).
6. ACCESS REQUESTS, PAYBACK NOMINATIONS, BALANCING SERVICE CHARGES,
OVERRUN CHARGES, AND CASHOUT.
(a) Subject to the remainder of this Section 6, on any
day, Shipper may submit an Access Request for service under its IBS
Agreement up to its MDQ; provided, however, that unless Natural
otherwise agrees, the net effect (taking into account the direction
of the request) of such Access Request for any day may only result in
service hereunder equal in volume to the difference between Shipper's
then effective MDQ under the IBS Agreement (reduced by releases of
the linked transportation Agreement as set out below) and Shipper's
nominations to serve the specified end-use facility or facilities
that day under the linked transportation Agreement (maximum daily
access volume). If Shipper has released any part of a linked firm
transportation Agreement, such release(s) shall be taken into account
in determining the level of service available under the IBS Agreement
if the release(s) reduce the effective MDQ available to Shipper for
nomination under the linked transportation Agreement to the
designated Delivery Point(s) below the MDQ under the IBS Agreement.
Except for authorized overrun, an Access Request for a swing up may
not exceed the unnominated portion of the MDQ under the linked
transportation Agreement (reduced as applicable by any releases).
