(4) Rules regarding the allocation of injections
by leg to determine such sourcing are set out in Section 5.6(c) of
the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff. In applying this
subsection (c), all receipts on Natural's system on the Amarillo
Line and north of Station 311 on the Gulf Coast Line shall be
deemed to be sourced on the Amarillo Line and injected into the
Amarillo Storage Point in the Iowa-Illinois Receipt Zone and all
other receipts shall be deemed to be sourced on the Gulf Coast Line
and injected into the Gulf Coast Storage Point in the Iowa-Illinois
Receipt Zone, except as set out in subsection (5) below.
(5) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Natural shall
post prior to the beginning of each month, at least twenty-four
(24) hours before first-of-the-month nominations are due, the
extent (if any) to which receipts between Station 110 and Station
311 will be treated as Gulf Coast receipts. Natural will designate
such receipts as Gulf Coast receipts for that month to the extent
reasonably feasible operationally. Such designation may be reduced
only prospectively through issuance of an Operational Flow Order or
in the subsequent month's posting. Natural shall also review such
designations daily and may change the designation by a posting
prior to the time nominations are due for that day; provided,
however, that the volume designated as Gulf Coast receipts in a
monthly posting may not be reduced during a month by such daily
postings. Natural shall also post prior to each month, at least
twenty-four (24) hours before first-of-the-month nominations are
due for that month, whether the restrictions on Shipper's
cumulative storage balance on each leg (as a percentage of MSV) can
be relaxed for a specified time period. Any posting hereunder
shall specify clearly which restrictions are being modified and the
magnitude and duration of the modification.
5.4 (a) A Shipper must have in storage under this Rate
Schedule DSS at least ninety-five percent (95%) of its MSV at some
time during the period from October 15 through November 15. If
Shipper fails to meet this requirement, its MSV for that year shall
be deemed to be equal to the greatest volume in storage during that
period. If the maximum volume in storage during that period is
less than ninety-five percent (95%) of Shipper's MSV, but is equal
to or greater than ninety percent (90%) of Shipper's MSV, its MDQ
(in the aggregate and at each Delivery Point) shall be reduced to
seventy-five percent (75%) of the MDQ in the DSS Agreement, solely
for the purposes of determining its WQ during the ensuing
withdrawal cycle. If the
