Shipper shall be obligated to adjust receipts and deliveries of
gas to correct or avoid any imbalance. Any adjustments to
receipts and deliveries by Shipper, whether or not pursuant to
notification from Transporter, shall be coordinated with
Transporter's gas dispatchers.
If Shipper fails to maintain a balance of receipts and
deliveries, Transporter shall impose the imbalance charges, as
applicable. No imbalance penalty shall be assessed unless
Transporter has notified Shipper that an imbalance has occurred
or will occur without corrective action and Shipper has failed
to take action in coordination with Transporter's gas
dispatchers. However, Transporter will not assess both
scheduling penalties and monthly imbalance penalties for
imbalances occurring in any month. Further, Transporter will
not assess penalties in the event Shipper's failure to take
corrective action is due to force majeure conditions, as
defined in Section 8 of this FTS Rate Schedule, other than
temporary failure of gas supply due to factors other than
physical impairment of facilities. In calculating imbalances,
Transporter shall take into consideration (1) quantities
retained for Fuel and Applicable Shrinkage and (2) make-up
quantities used pursuant to Transporter's notification to
correct any excess or deficiency in receipt and deliveries.
a. At least seven days prior to the end of each month,
Transporter shall notify Shipper if it appears that
deliveries to Transporter at the Receipt Point(s) will
be in excess of or deficient by five percent or more of
the transportation quantities delivered to Shipper at
the Delivery Point(s). Any appropriate corrective
action shall reduce the imbalance to the tolerance level
(i.e., five percent (5%)). In the event Shipper fails
to agree upon the appropriate corrective action to be
implemented with Transporter's gas dispatchers within
two Business Days after notification, and/or fails to
implement the corrective action agreed upon, Transporter
shall, in the event of over-deliveries, not retain the
gas, but shall charge Shipper a penalty equal to $2.00
per Dth multiplied by the excess quantity. In the event
of under-deliveries, Transporter shall charge Shipper a
penalty equal to $2.00 per Dth plus the actual
replacement cost multiplied by the deficiency quantity;
provided, however, that actual replacement cost shall
not be higher than one hundred twenty-five percent
