12. PRIORITY OF SERVICE (Continued)
12.4 Curtailment Procedures. If Transporter determines on any day
that for any reason whatsoever, including reasons of force majeure, the
capacity of or demand on its system or any portion thereof is
insufficient to satisfy the requirements for scheduled service as set
forth in executed Service Agreements, Transporter shall curtail or
interrupt deliveries in accordance with the priorities set forth below,
to the extent necessary to maintain priority of service.
(a) Transporter shall first interrupt scheduled balancing
and/or overrun service and receipts or deliveries in excess
of firm entitlements under any Rate Schedule in this Tariff
on a pro rata basis in proportion to the contract demands or
Maximum Daily Quantities set forth in the applicable executed
Service Agreements;
(b) Transporter shall then interrupt all interruptible service
which is being provided at a rate less than the maximum rate
applicable to such service by rate being paid, from lowest to
highest. Service which is being provided at the same rate shall
be interrupted by Priority Date, from newest to oldest. Service
which is being provided at the same rate and which also has the
same Priority Date shall be interrupted on a pro-rata basis
based on Maximum Daily Quantity. In order to avoid interruption
based on rate, any Shipper who receives interruptible
transportation service at less than the maximum rate, may agree
in writing to pay a rate higher than the discounted rate, up to
the maximum rate, during interruption of service. The actual
rate charged, up to the specified rate, shall only be that rate
necessary to avoid interruption and would only be paid by
Shipper as long as necessary to avoid interruption of service by
rate;
(c) Transporter shall then interrupt all interruptible service
which is being provided at the maximum rate applicable to such
service by Priority Date, from newest to oldest. Shippers
receiving interruptible service who are paying a Negotiated Rate
which exceeds the maximum rate will be considered for purposes
of this Section 12.4(c) to be paying the maximum rate.
Agreements having the same Priority Date shall be interrupted on
a pro-rata basis based on Maximum Daily Quantity;
(d) After interruption of services under (a), (b), and (c),
Transporter shall curtail all firm services on a pro rata basis
in proportion to the contract demands set
forth in the executed Service Agreements; and
