GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
6. SERVICE SCHEDULING
Service is deemed scheduled after Customer submits a nomination in accordance with
Section 5 of the GT&C and Pipeline confirms the nominated receipt of gas into the
system and the nominated delivery of gas to Customer, or for Customer's account.
Until Pipeline has informed Customer that its nomination is confirmed, such gas
quantities will not be deemed scheduled.
6.1 The quantities nominated for transportation by Customer shall be scheduled by
Pipeline for receipt and delivery in the following order:
(a) Prorata among firm service Customers utilizing Primary Points of Receipt
and Primary Points of Delivery;
(b) Prorata among firm service Customers utilizing a Secondary Point or
Points, which points are wholly within the Contract Path and the
nominated quantity does not exceed the firm contractual entitlement(s)
for any pipeline segment as described in subsection (g) below; provided,
however, that if Pipeline is restricting service at a particular receipt
or delivery point then a Customer utilizing that point as a Primary
Point, regardless of the status at the corresponding delivery or receipt
point, should have priority over a Customer using that constrained point
as a Secondary Point.
(c) Prorata among firm service Customers utilizing a Secondary Point or
Points with at least one of such points being outside the Contract Path
or the nominated quantity being in excess of the firm contractual
entitlement(s) for any pipeline segment as described in subsection (g)
below; provided, however, that if Pipeline is restricting service at a
particular receipt or delivery point then a Customer utilizing that point
as a Primary Point, regardless of the status at the corresponding
delivery or receipt point, should have priority over a Customer using
that constrained point as a Secondary Receipt or Delivery Point. Within
this subsection (c), quantities of gas requested to flow through a Posted
Point of Restriction located within the Contract Path shall have priority
over quantities of gas requested to flow through a Posted Point of
Restriction located outside of the Contract Path.
(d) All interruptible service Customers, excluding Park and Loan Customers,
in sequence starting with the Customer paying the highest rate. A
Customer with agreements for rates less than the applicable maximum
recourse rate may elect to pay the applicable maximum recourse rate at
the time Customer submits its nomination in accordance with Section 5 of
the GT&C. In the event Customer's nomination is for service at a rate
less than the applicable maximum recourse rate and Pipeline determines
that the aggregate quantity of all nominations exceeds available
interruptible capacity, Customer making such election will be required to
pay the applicable maximum recourse rate to the extent interruptible
capacity is available to satisfy all or a portion of Customer's
nomination, as determined by Pipeline. Such election shall be a one-time
election effective for the remainder of the Nomination Period. In the
event a tie for capacity exists among category (d) Customers, quantities
will be scheduled pro rata on the basis of Customer's nominated
quantities.
(e) Prorata among Pipeline's Customers scheduling receipts or deliveries for
the purpose of resolving a prior imbalance in scheduled receipts or
deliveries up to but not in excess of the applicable contractual
entitlement of such Customer.
