13. IMBALANCES
13.1 RESPONSIBILITY FOR BALANCING
In addition to delivering and receiving volumes of gas
in conformance with nominations, Shippers are responsible for
conforming their takes at Delivery Points with their deliveries to
Natural at Receipt Points each day. Except for the no-notice aspect
of Rate Schedules DSS, FRSS, FTS-NB, FFTS-NB and FTS-G/NB, and
except as otherwise provided under an IBS Agreement, Natural has no
obligation to deliver for the account of a Shipper more volumes of
gas than Natural has received for the account of the Shipper or to
accept for the account of the Shipper more volumes of gas than are
being delivered for the account of the Shipper on any day.
13.2 MONTHLY IMBALANCES, NETTING AND OFFSETTING
At the end of each calendar month, to the extent the
net receipts (with the appropriate deductions for Fuel Gas and Gas
Lost and Unaccounted For and after giving appropriate recognition
to storage activity subject to applicable storage rights) do not
equal the deliveries under an Agreement on a Dth basis, and except
that any IBS Balance under an IBS Agreement is only subject to the
provisions of this Section 13 to the extent provided in Section
7(b) of Rate Schedule IBS, the following netting and offsetting
procedures will apply:
(a) Imbalances under a Shipper's different Agreements
will be netted together to obtain the Shipper's Total Monthly
Imbalance. The Total Monthly Imbalance will be shown with the
monthly billings sent to Shippers.
(b) To assist Shippers in arranging offsets, Natural
will post on its Interactive Website the Total Monthly Imbalance of
any Shipper which has notified Natural that it has elected to have
such information posted. Notification by the Shipper may be in
writing or on Natural's Interactive Website and shall be effective
by 8:00 a.m. on the next Business Day (Central Clock Time) if the
notification is received by 11:45 a.m. on a Business Day.
Imbalance information authorized for posting through such
notification shall be posted no later than the ninth Business Day
of the month after the imbalance occurred. Shippers shall have the
ability to post and trade imbalances, and imbalance information
shall remain posted, until the seventeenth Business Day of the
month after the imbalance occurred.
