GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
9.3 Scheduling Priority: Transporter shall schedule receipts and
deliveries of gas which has been properly nominated and confirmed in
the following sequence and/or in accordance with the supply/market
rankings provided in a Shipper's Customer Nomination Form:
(a) First among firm shippers using Primary Receipt or Delivery
Points according to the quantities of gas scheduled by such
Shippers;
(b) Pro-rata among firm shippers using Secondary Receipt or Delivery
Points according to the quantities of gas scheduled by such
Shippers.
(c) Among interruptible services, according to the IT rate paid by
Shippers each month, with IT at higher rates being scheduled
ahead of IT at lower rates. IT Shippers paying the same rate
shall be scheduled pro rata based on scheduled quantities. For
the purpose of this subsection (c), any shipper paying a rate
above the maximum rate, shall be deemed to be paying the
maximum applicable rate.
9.4 Allocation of Limited Capacity
(a) (i) Curtailment: If, on any day, Transporter determines that
the capacity of its system, or any portion thereof including
the point(s) at which gas is tendered for transportation is
insufficient to serve all Shippers that are scheduled to
receive service on such day, capacity that requires allocation
shall be allocated in a manner that results in curtailment of
capacity, to zero if necessary, in reverse of the order listed
in Section 9.3 above. If capacity must be allocated within
the services included in 9.3(a) above, customers will be
curtailed pro rata based on Scheduled Quantities. If
interruptible transportation must be allocated, such
transportation will be curtailed according to the price being
paid, with lower priced transportation being curtailed before
higher priced transportation. Provided that, for the purpose
of the foregoing sentence, any shipper paying above the
maximum IT rate shall be deemed to be paying the maximum
applicable rate.
