11. BALANCING (continued)
11.8 OPERATIONAL BALANCING AGREEMENTS ("OBA")
(a) For the purpose of minimizing operational conflicts
between various pipeline facilities with respect to
the delivery of Gas to and from Pipeline's facilities,
Pipeline may enter into Operational Balancing
Agreements (OBAs) with appropriate parties that
operate natural gas facilities which interconnect with
Pipeline's system (herein called "OBA Party"). Such
OBA shall specify the Gas Custody transfer procedures
to be followed by Pipeline and OBA Party for the
confirmation of scheduled quantities of Gas to be
received by Pipeline at the Point of Receipt or
delivered by Pipeline at the Point of Delivery. Such
OBA will provide that any variance between actual
quantities and scheduled and confirmed quantities at
the point where the OBA is in place for any Gas Day
shall be cashed out or resolved in-kind promptly
pursuant to the terms of the OBA and that such daily
scheduling and monthly balancing variances are the
responsibility of the OBA Party.
To facilitate such determination of variances on a
timely basis, Pipeline and the OBA Party will agree in
the OBA on necessary measurement and accounting
procedures. Pipeline shall post on the LINK® System
those Points of Receipt and Points of Delivery at
which an OBA is in effect.
