GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
7. DETERMINATION OF DAILY RECEIPTS
7.1 To the extent feasible, all volumes received by MEP at a
Receipt Point shall be allocated in accordance with the confirmed
nominations for that point. In the event the actual volumes received
by MEP do not equal the confirmed nominations for that point, any
underage or overage will be allocated as follows:
(a) First, in accordance with the effective
predetermined allocations (PDAs) submitted by those entities
(Allocators) owning or controlling the Gas being delivered to MEP. An
OBA may be one type of a PDA. Shipper agrees that such an allocation
is binding on Shipper.
(b) Then, if there is no effective PDA, pro rata to
the extent applicable based on confirmed nominations or transfer
nominations, as applicable. Shipper agrees that such an allocation is
binding on Shipper.
7.2 The upstream or downstream party providing the point
confirmation should submit the PDA to the allocating party after or
during confirmation and before the start of the Day, except that no
other PDAs need be submitted if an OBA is in effect at a point.
Unless otherwise agreed, all PDAs must be submitted to MEP through
MEP's Interactive Website or through EDI before the start of the Day
the PDA is to be effective. Such PDA shall specify how any underage
or overage from the confirmed nominated volumes should be allocated
among the entities listed on the PDA. MEP shall acknowledge receipt
and acceptance of the PDA through MEP's Interactive Website or EDI if
received through MEP's Interactive Website or via EDI if received via
EDI. Such notification of acknowledgment and acceptance will be
within fifteen (15) minutes of receipt via MEP's Interactive Website
if received via MEP's Interactive Website or via EDI if received via
EDI. MEP's acceptance is contingent on MEP being able to administer
the allocation submitted by the Allocator. Allocation methodology
types upon which parties may agree are: ranked, pro rata,
percentages, swing and operator provided value. Other examples of
allocation methods which can be used are matching of supply sources
with specified customers, and combinations of methodology types.
Different methods may be submitted for overages or underages. If the
parties cannot agree, Section 7.1(b) shall apply.
