INTERRUPTIBLE BALANCING SERVICE
-------------------------------
(2) Natural will allow such aggregation with a
common agent for the end-use facilities, provided that the other
requirements of aggregation are satisfied. Such an agency
relationship would be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set
out in Section 8.9 of the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff
and the following more specific conditions: the agent must meet the
same creditworthiness standards as a Shipper, Natural can rely upon
representations by the agent until Natural receives written notice
that the agency relationship has been terminated and aggregation will
cease to be effective as of the date on which there is no longer a
common agent.
(3) If the above criteria are met, Natural will
permit the aggregation under a single IBS Agreement of up to five (5)
end-use facilities at different points. In addition, if all the
above criteria are met, Natural will aggregate up to five (5) end-use
facilities behind a single Central Delivery Point under a single IBS
Agreement. The aggregated end-use facilities shall be accounted for
in the aggregate, by use of a paper point. A Shipper may not
aggregate in a single IBS Agreement both directly connected end-use
facilities and end-use facilities which are not directly connected to
Natural or which are behind a Central Delivery Point.
8. OVERRUN SERVICE
Upon request of Shipper, Natural may (but is not obligated to)
provide service hereunder in excess of Shipper's maximum daily access
volume under the IBS Agreement as determined under Section 6(a) hereof
or Shipper's maximum allowed cumulative IBS Balance as determined under
Section 6(f) hereof when, in Natural's reasonable judgment, its line
pack capability or offsetting Access Requests will permit such balancing
receipt or delivery without impairing the ability of Natural to meet its
firm or other higher priority interruptible obligations, it being
understood that Natural is not providing a supply or storage service
under this Rate Schedule IBS. In granting requests for authorized
overruns, Natural shall act in a manner consistent with the overrun
service priorities set out in the General Terms and Conditions of this
Tariff. Except for authorized overruns as reflected in confirmation of
an Access Request, for which Shipper shall pay the applicable rate set
out in the rate sheets of this Tariff, Shipper shall pay Natural the
charges for unauthorized overrun set out in Section 12.2(a)(1) of the
General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff if balancing volumes in the
direction of swing specified in the Access Request under an IBS
Agreement exceed the volumes specified in the Access Request or,
