GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
3. PRIORITY OF SERVICE
3.1 ALLOCATION OF CAPACITY
This Section 3.1 governs the allocation of firm capacity on
Stingray's System among entities requesting firm services.
In assigning priority to otherwise valid requests for any
particular firm service, Stingray shall afford priority
based on rate, term, and volume applying consistent and
objective economic criteria. Such criteria shall be
identical to that utilized to evaluate bids under the
Capacity Release Program. In applying such criteria where a
Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula is involved, the
value assigned to a request which includes a Negotiated Rate
or Negotiated Rate Formula shall be limited by the Recourse
Rate as provided in Section 34 of these General Terms and
Conditions. Requests with the same rate, term, and volume of
firm service shall be assigned priority on a first come,
first served basis. In the event valid requests are received
on the same Day and there is insufficient capacity to serve
all such Shippers, Stingray shall allocate the available
capacity on a pro rata basis based on each Shipper's
requested MDQ. Stingray shall not be required to grant
otherwise valid requests at less than the applicable maximum
rate, but may do so on a non-discriminatory basis.
3.2 LIMITATION OF FIRM SERVICES
(a) While firm services are not ordinarily interrupted or
nominations for firm services within MDQ declined due
to lack of capacity, capacity constraints may exist
from time to time or limitation or interruption of
firm service may be necessary for certain other
reasons. Stingray may decline to schedule firm service
for any of the following reasons and may curtail for
any of the same reasons except (3):
(1) If Shipper tenders Gas which does not conform to
the applicable pressure or quality requirements
of these General Terms and Conditions;
(2) For reasons of Force Majeure;
(3) Due to routine repair and maintenance to be
reasonably determined by Stingray;
(4) Pursuant to Section 3.11 of these General Terms
and Conditions;
