RATE SCHEDULE DSS
-----------------
deemed continuing for the remainder of the withdrawal season unless
Shipper specified otherwise, but Shipper must submit a new waiver
request for any subsequent withdrawal season. If Shipper's remaining
balance on April 30 under a DSS Agreement is greater than that allowed
above, Shipper shall not be subject to Overrun Charges on such excess
balance (unless some other limitation is exceeded) but shall pay (as
applicable):
(1) A charge equal to the Authorized Inventory Cycling
Rate multiplied by the volume representing that portion of the
remaining inventory in excess of fifty percent (50%) of its MSV as to
which Shipper has obtained cycling relief; and/or
(2) A charge equal to the Unauthorized Inventory
Cycling Rate multiplied by the volume representing that portion of the
remaining inventory in excess of fifty percent (50%) of its MSV as to
which Shipper has not obtained cycling relief from Natural.
(c) Under circumstances where a waiver of the cycling
requirement would be granted under subsection (b), Natural may provide
cycling on behalf of Shippers on a non-discriminatory basis to the
extent operationally feasible. Under this Cycling Option, the Rate
Schedule DSS account of a Shipper will be reduced prior to April 30,
with equivalent volumes to be returned to Shipper's Rate Schedule DSS
account on the ensuing May 1. Natural shall assess a Cycling Option
Charge equal to the Cycling Option Rate multiplied by the volumes
cycled. The Cycling Option Charge shall be equal to or greater than
the charge at the minimum Cycling Option Rate, but no greater than the
charge based on the maximum Cycling Option Rate. The minimum and
maximum Cycling Option Rate shall equal the minimum and maximum
Authorized Inventory Cycling Rate, respectively. Prior to granting any
requests for the Cycling Option, Natural shall post on the
Informational Postings portion of its Interactive Website the
availability of the Cycling Option and the rate Natural will charge
(within the applicable maximum and minimum).
5.5 (a) A Shipper under this Rate Schedule DSS may request, as
part of its nomination, injections in excess of IQ or in excess of its
firm rights under Section 5.3(c) hereto or injections which would
cause it to exceed its MSV and may, as part of its nomination, request
withdrawals in excess of WQ or of its firm rights under Section
5.1(c). Such withdrawals and injections are subject to Section 9 of
this Rate Schedule DSS. Rights available under Section 5.5(c) are
firm and available on a no-notice basis and do not require a
nomination.
