GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
the following Balancing Service Charges shall apply, subject to the
availability of balancing service under Rate Schedule IBS consistent
with its terms, based on the degree of variance between actual
deliveries, and Shipper's rights and/or confirmed nominations (no
charge hereunder shall apply for variances at Receipt Points):
Variance Charge
--------- ---------------------
0% to 5% No additional charges
5% to 10% $0.10/Dth
10% to 20% $0.20/Dth
20% to 50% $0.30/Dth
Above 50% $0.50/Dth
(2) Tiered Balancing Service Charges under this
Section 10.8 shall be applied on a graduated basis, i.e., the specified
charge shall apply only to that portion of the variance which is within
the corresponding tier between its lower and upper percentage
boundaries (variances within a range greater than the lower boundary
and equal to or less than the upper boundary) and not to any portion of
the variance falling within other tiers.
(b) On any day when an Operational Flow Order (but not
a Critical Time) is in effect, if actual receipts or deliveries
allocated to a Shipper at any point or under any Agreement do not
conform to such Shipper's confirmed nominations applicable to such
point and/or Agreement, Balancing Service Charges will be assessed on
such variances that are detrimental to MEP's system, based on the
conditions described in or giving rise to the Operational Flow Order;
provided, however, that such charges shall not apply with respect to
Leased Capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Balancing Service
Charges shall not be assessed for variance at Receipt Points unless
explicitly stated in the Operational Flow Order. The Operational
Flow Order shall also state whether the charges are to be based on
variances at individual points, by zone or by other aggregation.
Where Balancing Service Charges apply under this subsection (b), they
shall be in lieu of Balancing Service Charges under subsection (a).
Balancing Service Charges during this period will be as follows,
based on the variance between actual receipts or deliveries and the
applicable confirmed nominations.
