GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(c) (1) SCHEDULING OF INTERRUPTIBLE SERVICES
If capacity remains after all gas properly
nominated and confirmed (to the extent nomination is required)
under services described in Sections 5.3(a)(1) and (2) and Sections
5.3(b)(1) and (2) has been scheduled, Natural shall schedule the
remaining interruptible services (including authorized overrun). To
the extent there is insufficient capacity available to schedule all
properly nominated and confirmed interruptible services (including
authorized overrun), Natural shall identify which nominated
services are affected by the lack of capacity and shall schedule
all affected interruptible services in accordance with the
following sequence:
(i) Natural shall schedule interruptible
services (including authorized overrun) based on the rate to be
paid, from highest to lowest daily rate, with service for which the
highest daily rate being paid is scheduled first. Any Shipper
paying the maximum rate applicable to its service (or revenue equal
to or greater than the applicable maximum rate pursuant to a
Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula) shall be afforded
highest priority even if a Shipper which has agreed to a Negotiated
Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula is paying a higher unit rate.
(ii) In the event there is insufficient
capacity to schedule all services for which the same rate is to be
paid, Natural shall allocate the available capacity pro rata based
on the confirmed nominated volume.
(2) CURTAILMENT OF INTERRUPTIBLE SERVICES
In interrupting or curtailing interruptible
services (including authorized overrun) covered by this Section 5.7
due to lack of capacity, Natural shall curtail in accordance with
the following priority sequence:
(i) Natural shall interrupt services
(including authorized overrun) based on the rate being paid, from
lowest to highest daily rate, with service for which the lowest
daily rate being paid is interrupted first. Any Shipper paying the
maximum rate applicable to its service (or revenue equal to or
greater than the applicable maximum rate pursuant to a Negotiated
Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula) shall be afforded highest priority
even if a Shipper which has agreed to a Negotiated Rate or
Negotiated Rate Formula is paying a higher unit rate.
