GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(f) Check Meters: Either party shall have the right and the sole
responsibility to install, maintain, and operate (including calibrating and
adjusting) check measurement equipment meeting the AGA-API measurement
equipment criteria referenced in Section 3.1 above, but they shall not
interfere with or impede operation of the primary measurement or other
equipment, and all calibrating and adjusting of check meters shall be done
by the installing party or its designee. Each party shall notify the other
seven Days prior to all testing and calibration of its meters so that the
other may have a representative present if desired. If the check
measurement is inaccurate or the applicable check meter maintenance records
from meters operated by any third party are not available, the parties will
use the next applicable alternate method under Subsection 4.2(c) above to
resolve the discrepancy. If Transporter is not the measuring party,
Transporter may install check measuring equipment meeting the referenced
AGA-API measurement equipment criteria at any Receipt Point or Delivery
Point and exercise check measurement rights as stated above. If Shipper is
not the measuring party, Shipper may install and operate check meters only
at Receipt Points, unless the Delivery Points are at Shipper's or its
Affiliate's pipeline, plant, or other receipt facilities.
4.3 Prior Period Adjustments:
(a) The deadline for closing of measurement data is five Business
Days after the delivery month. Measurement data available upstream of
aggregated points shall be sent to the allocating party and used to allocate
the aggregated quantity back to the upstream points. The measuring party
will estimate missing or late measurement data and treat actual results when
available as a prior period adjustment. For prior period adjustments,
Transporter will use reasonable efforts to make any adjustments effective as
of the delivery month. A meter adjustment becomes a prior period adjustment
if not made by the close of business on the fifth Business Day following the
delivery month. Transporter will report gas measurement prior period
adjustments with the restated line item with the new total quantity for the
Day and month affected.
(b) Measurement data corrections must be processed within six months
of the delivery month, with a maximum three month rebuttal period. Within
the six month period, upon written request by Shipper, Transporter will make
the records and data from the measuring equipment, together with
calculations there from, available for Shipper's inspection and
verification. After the six month period, and if applicable, the rebuttal
period, measurement results are considered final and are no longer subject
to review or correction. However, this limitation shall not apply in cases
of deliberate omissions or misrepresentations, or in cases of mutual mistake
of fact. The parties' other statutory or contractual rights shall not
otherwise be diminished by this standard.
