GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
8. DETERMINATION OF DELIVERIES
8.1 PREDETERMINED ALLOCATIONS
In accounting for the volumes delivered by MEP, in
circumstances where multiple services are provided at any Delivery
Point, the sequence of volumes delivered shall be determined by a
predetermined allocation agreement (PDA) between MEP and the
operator of the facilities immediately downstream of the point at
which MEP delivers Gas. An OBA may be one form of a PDA. 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. In the absence of
such an agreement, Section 8.2 shall control. Any new or proposed
change to the methodology should be sent to MEP before the start of
the Day on which the methodology is to be effective. Unless
otherwise agreed, MEP shall confirm receipt of the methodology
within fifteen (15) minutes 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 two parties may agree are: ranked, pro rata,
percentages, swing and operator provided value. Other examples of
allocation methods that can be used are combinations of methodology
types. Different methods may be submitted for overages and
underages. No retroactive change to the PDA or to any allocation
under a PDA shall be made unless MEP and all affected parties
agree.
8.2 DELIVERY SEQUENCE
Unless otherwise agreed and subject to Section 6 of Rate
Schedule IBS, Gas at any Delivery Point shall be deemed to have
been delivered in the following sequence:
(a) Volumes scheduled under firm transportation
Agreements consistent with confirmed nominations and within MDQ;
(b) Authorized Overrun Gas under FTS Agreements
consistent with confirmed nominations and volumes scheduled under
Rate Schedules ITS, PALS or IBS consistent with confirmed
nominations and within MDQ; and
(c) Additional volumes shall be allocated pro rata
based on confirmed nominations among Rate Schedules ITS, PALS and
IBS Agreements under which Shippers nominated for that Day.
