5.2 Transporter shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the
natural gas to or for the account of Shipper at the Point(s) of
Delivery at a pressure specified in the applicable Service
Agreement.
6. BILLING
6.1 On or before the ninth(9th) day of each month, Transporter
shall render to Shipper a statement of the transportation
charge of the total amount due for transportation provided
under an executed Service Agreement for natural gas received
from Shipper during the preceding month. Transporter shall
render an imbalance statement prior to or with the invoice. If
actual information is not available to Transporter by the ninth
(9th) day of each month, Transporter shall be allowed to
invoice Shipper based on estimated results, and such estimated
results shall be corrected to actual results in subsequent
month's billings, when such actual results are known. Such
statement of the transportation charges shall be deemed to have
been duly delivered and thereby received on the third Business
Day following the date on which same was deposited in the
United States mail. Transporter shall accompany such statement
of charges with a schedule showing volumes of natural gas, in
Mcf, and Heating Content, in Dth, received, Equivalent
Quantities delivered, and any imbalance. When information
necessary for billing purposes is in the control of Shipper, it
shall furnish such information to Transporter on or before the
sixth (6th) day of the month.
6.2 The types of allocation methodologies is a list from which
Transporter and Shipper may agree. If the Transporter and
Shipper cannot agree upon an allocation methodology, pro rata
based upon confirmed nominations should be used as the default
method. The party responsible for custody transfer (the party
performing the measurement function) should provide the
allocation. When the allocation method is rank, swing or
percentage, a new allocation detail may be needed when a
nomination changes. The timing for reporting daily operational
allocations after the gas has flowed is within one Business Day
after end of gas day. If the best available data for reporting
daily operational allocations is the scheduled quantity, that
quantity should be used for the daily operational allocation.
The responsibility for calculation and reporting of allocated
quantities should rest with the party responsible for accepting
GISB allocation types. The party receiving nominations should
provide allocation statements. The time limitation for
disputes of allocations should be 6 months from the date of the
initial month-end allocation with a 3-month rebuttal period.
This standard shall not apply in the case of deliberate
omission or misrepresentation or mutual mistake of fact.
Parties' other statutory or contractual rights shall not
