RATE SCHEDULE NSS
-----------------
5.3 (a) A Shipper's IQ shall be the maximum volume of gas
such Shipper has the right to inject on any day under the NSS
Agreement on a firm basis [subject to Section 5.7 and subsection
(b) below]. If a Shipper exceeds its firm injection rights
hereunder, such excess injections shall be subject to Overrun
Charges under Section 12 of the General Terms and Conditions of
this Tariff. A Shipper's IQ varies based on its inventory level,
as follows:
(1) When a Shipper's inventory level in its
storage account under the NSS Agreement is less than sixty-seven
percent (67%) of its MSV under the NSS Agreement, its IQ shall
equal fifty percent (50%) of its MDQ; and
(2) When a Shipper's inventory level in its
storage account under the NSS Agreement is equal to or greater
than sixty-seven percent (67%) of its MSV under the NSS Agreement,
its IQ shall equal thirty-three percent (33%) of its MDQ.
(b) (1) Subject to subsection (2) below, a Shipper's
firm injection and withdrawal rights on any day shall be further
limited as set out in this subsection. Each contract shall specify
the percentage of service to which Shipper is entitled on the
Amarillo Line (Amarillo Percentage) and the percentage of service
to which Shipper is entitled on the Gulf Coast Line (Gulf Coast
Percentage). The sum of such percentages shall be 100%. The
Amarillo Percentage times a Shipper's IQ shall be available for
injections from sources on the Amarillo Line and the Gulf Coast
Percentage times a Shipper's IQ shall be available for injections
from sources on the Gulf Coast Line. Similarly, the Amarillo
Percentage times a Shipper's WQ shall be available for withdrawal
from sources on the Amarillo Line and the Gulf Coast Percentage
times a Shipper's WQ shall be available for withdrawal from
sources on the Gulf Coast Line. Volumes which a Shipper seeks to
have scheduled and Natural is able to schedule for either
injection or withdrawal on either line in excess of the resulting
daily firm volume hereunder or in excess of the restrictions in
subsection (3) shall be treated as authorized overrun, with the
same priority as other authorized overrun injections and
withdrawals under Section 5.5(b) of this Rate Schedule NSS.
