RATE SCHEDULE IBS
-----------------
in making IBS Payback nominations. The IBS Payback nomination shall
be separately identified and shall be a volume which is in excess of
Shipper's projected requirements for that day at the relevant end-use
facility or facilities. The IBS Payback nomination may represent (in
whole or in part) overrun under the linked transportation Agreement,
in which case the overrun shall be evaluated by MEP for scheduling
purposes on the same basis as other overrun requests. Unless
otherwise agreed, IBS Payback volumes nominated and confirmed shall
be accounted for as the first gas through the meter on deliveries.
(1) IBS Payback nominations must reference the IBS
Agreement. IBS Payback must be made to deliver gas to or take gas
away from Delivery Points, as applicable, under the linked
transportation Agreement, or at other mutually agreed points if
delivery to those points would be beneficial to MEP's system, to
achieve IBS Payback in relation to the Delivery Point(s). IBS Payback
nominations shall be evaluated for scheduling and curtailment
priority purposes on the same basis as other nominations under the
linked transportation Agreement or at the mutually agreed points.
Transportation charges shall be assessed under the linked
transportation Agreement only if movement of the gas to the Delivery
Point(s) has not previously been subject to a transportation charge,
consistent with Section 5.3 of this Rate Schedule IBS.
(2) MEP has the right to delay or limit IBS Payback.
To the extent MEP does not confirm an IBS Payback nomination, or the
nomination is limited by rights under the IBS Agreement and/or linked
transportation Agreement(s), as applicable, Shipper shall be
obligated to make a timely IBS Payback nomination in each subsequent
daily nomination period until the IBS Balance for that day has been
eliminated; provided, however, that if MEP advises Shipper that no
IBS Payback nominations will be accepted until a specified future
date or will be limited in a specified way over a defined period, or
as otherwise agreed, Shipper may forego or limit its IBS Payback
nomination accordingly.
(d) If Shipper fails to make a timely and valid IBS Payback
nomination to reduce its IBS Balance for a Day as required under this
Section 6, then the Balancing Service Charges in Section 10.8 of the
General Terms and Conditions of the Tariff shall apply, with no
tolerance or exemption, based on the IBS Balance information provided
to Shipper by MEP. Such charges will continue as applied to the
remaining volume of the IBS Balance for that Day until valid IBS
