GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
19.3 Curtailment: If, on any day, WTG Hugoton determines that the capacity
of its system, or any portion thereof, is insufficient to serve all Shippers
that are scheduled to receive service on such day, capacity that requires
allocation shall be allocated in a manner that results in curtailment of
capacity, to zero if necessary, in reverse of the order listed in Section
19.1. If interruptible transportation must be allocated, such transportation
will be curtailed according to the price being paid, with lower priced
transportation being curtailed before higher priced transportation; provided
that any Shipper paying above the maximum IT rate shall be deemed to be paying
the maximum applicable rate.
Any interruptible Shipper paying a discounted rate, if subject to
curtailment, may elect to pay a higher rate or the maximum rate to avoid or
reduce the possibility of curtailment. If Shipper so elects, then curtailment
shall be in accordance with this Section 19, whichever is appropriate. If two
or more Shippers are paying the same discounted rate, then the curtailment
shall be prorated based on the requested daily volumes. Firm shippers shall
be interrupted prorata based on their contracted-for demand. Nothing in this
provision shall limit WTG Hugoton(s right to interrupt service on any other
reasonable basis (including prorata curtailment within a class of service) in
order to insure system integrity.
19.4 WTG Hugoton shall provide Shippers five days notice of any curtailment,
or as much notice as possible, in order to permit Shipper to make the election
available under Section 19.3. Such notice shall state the discounted rates
being paid by other Shippers, the quantities being transported at such rates
and the estimated reduced quantities of gas that can be transported. Daily
operational allocations shall be reported within one business day after the
end of the gas day within which the gas has been allocated. If the best
available data for reporting daily operational allocation is the Scheduled
Quantity, that quantity shall be used for the daily operational allocation.
19.5 Upstream or downstream curtailment: If receipts or deliveries of
Shipper(s gas are curtailed either upstream or downstream of the WTG Hugoton
system, transportation by WTG Hugoton shall likewise be curtailed or
interrupted and Shipper will be responsible for arranging adjustments of
transportation quantities on all upstream or downstream entities.
