GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
(2) Allocation of Deliveries - Unless prohibited by
applicable law or regulation, the quantities of
natural gas delivered by Transporter at any
Delivery Point(s) shall be allocated among
Shippers and services in accordance with
allocation procedures agreed to by Transporter
and the OBA Party at the Delivery Point(s) as
set forth in the OBA in a form contained in
Transporter's Tariff beginning at Sheet No. 226.
(b) Where Transporter delivers gas at a Delivery Point(s)
not covered by an OBA, to multiple Shippers, the
operator of the Delivery Point shall appoint a
designee who shall provide Transporter, an agreeable
predetermined allocation ("PDA") methodology prior to
the commencement of the Gas Day. Transporter shall
confirm receipt of the PDA within fifteen (15)
minutes of receipt. Provided, however, if on any day,
for any reason, transportation quantities are
scheduled by Transporter for Shipper and no PDA is
provided by the designee, then the quantities
received at such Delivery Point shall be prorated
among all of the transportation agreements scheduled
for all Shipper(s) receiving service at such Delivery
Point that day. The determination of deliveries
herein is subject to modifications based upon pre-
existing delivery sequence arrangements between
Transporter and Shipper(s).
(1) PDA methodologies - The point operator, or the
designee, submitting the PDA may choose one of
the following methodologies for allocating
deliveries: Ranked, Pro Rata, Percentage,
Swing, and Operator Provided Value. Changes to a
PDA may be made prospectively during the month if
such changes are approved by Transporter. Only one
PDA may be in effect per gas day per point. No
retroactive reallocations of any transactions
shall be permitted without the approval of
Transporter and the agreement of those Shippers
affected by such retroactive reallocations,
provided that the agreement by such Shippers
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
