RATE SCHEDULE TABS-1
TRANSPORTATION AGGREGATION BALANCING SERVICE
1. AVAILABILITY
1.1 This Open-access Rate Schedule is available to any party (hereinafter called the TABS-1
Party) which has requested transportation aggregation balancing service or Title
Transfer Tracking service pursuant to Section 3 of Texas Eastern Transmission, LP's
(hereinafter called Pipeline) General Terms and Conditions and, after review and
acceptance of such request by Pipeline, has entered into a service agreement with
Pipeline for service under Rate Schedule TABS-1. Such service agreement shall be in
the form contained in Pipeline's FERC Gas Tariff of which this Rate Schedule TABS-1 is
a part. In addition, this Rate Schedule is available to any Third Party Account
Administrator (hereinafter called a 3PAD) who has either (i) been designated as an
agent for a TABS-1 Party, or (ii) executed a service agreement with Pipeline for
service under this Rate Schedule TABS-1. For the purposes of this Rate Schedule TABS-
1, the term "TABS-1 Party" shall also refer to a 3PAD.
2. APPLICABILITY AND CHARACTER OF SERVICE
2.1 This Rate Schedule TABS-1 permits the TABS-1 Party to assume the primary responsibility
of matching the tender and receipt of Gas by Pipeline with scheduled quantities
pursuant to a nomination under Pipeline's applicable transportation Rate Schedules. In
addition, the TABS-1 Party assumes the responsibility of assuring compliance with all
terms and conditions governing the receipt of Gas by Pipeline and Customer's
obligations with respect thereto.
This Rate Schedule also permits a 3PAD to submit nominations to Pipeline to reflect
that the 3PAD is providing a Title Transfer Tracking service independently of such
service provided by Pipeline.
Receipts into a TABS-1 Service Point can be made from transportation service agreements
or other TABS-1 service agreements; deliveries from a TABS-1 Service Point can be made
to transportation service agreements or other TABS-1 service agreements.
To the extent Gas attributable to a TABS-1 Party is tendered or caused to be tendered
to Pipeline for subsequent allocation as receipts under transportation service
agreements under Pipeline's applicable transportation Rate Schedules, any imbalance
between actual receipts and scheduled quantities under such applicable transportation
service agreements attributable to such Gas tenders shall be the primary responsibility
of the TABS-1 Party and shall be resolved pursuant to this Rate Schedule TABS-1. The
Customer under the applicable transportation service agreements shall have no cost
responsibility, absent default of the TABS-1 Party, for such imbalances.
