(b) Receipt Supply Shortfall: Notwithstanding any provision

in this Tariff, Transporter shall have the right, upon

such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances, to

interrupt deliveries in affected areas of its system if

Transporter is unable to meet its total delivery

underdeliveries of quantities nominated and scheduled for

receipt until Transporter is able to identify the parties

which failed to tender quantities equal to those

nominated and scheduled. Transporter shall reduce

scheduled deliveries to the markets served by the
