RATE SCHEDULE PTI
INTERRUPTIBLE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE
1. AVAILABILITY
This Open-access Rate Schedule is available from May 1 through October
31 to any party (hereinafter called Customer) which has requested
interruptible transportation service for purposes of injection of gas into
storage, whether Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation's (hereinafter
called Pipeline) or third party storage, and/or as replacement service for
former service under Rate Schedule ACQ pursuant to Section 3 of Pipeline's
General Terms and Conditions and, after review and acceptance of such
request by Pipeline, has entered into a service agreement with Pipeline for
service under Rate Schedule PTI. Such service agreement shall be in the
form contained in Pipeline's FERC Gas Tariff of which this Rate Schedule
PTI is a part. Service under this Rate Schedule is not available from
capacity subject to Rate Schedules LLFT, LLIT, VKFT and VKIT.
2. APPLICABILITY AND CHARACTER OF SERVICE
2.1 Rate Schedule PTI provides for an interruptible transportation
service which shall be available on May 1 through October 31 (hereinafter
called Summer Season). Service under this Rate Schedule shall not
constitute "no-notice" service as that term is used in Order No. 636.
2.2 Rate Schedule PTI shall have priority over all other
interruptible services rendered by Pipeline and shall be subject to
interruption only to the extent necessary for Pipeline, at its sole
discretion, to satisfy its firm obligations under firm rate schedules or in
the event of force majeure. No later than fifteen (15) days prior to the
commencement of the Summer Season any Customer hereunder shall submit a
nomination for the quantity of gas desired by Customer to be transported
during the Summer Season for injection into storage and/or as replacement
service for former service under Rate Schedule ACQ. The scheduled
quantities pursuant to such nomination (hereinafter called Summer Quantity)
divided by 184 shall establish the Maximum Daily Quantity (MDQ) for such
period of time; provided, however, to the extent transportation hereunder
is for purposes of injection into Pipeline's storage, the MDQ hereunder
shall not exceed the sum of (i) the Maximum Daily Injection Quantity (MDIQ)
or MDQ, as applicable, as specified in the applicable storage service
agreement(s) with Pipeline for whom gas is to be injected under such
service agreement and (ii) to the extent transportation hereunder is for
purposes of injection into third party storage, the quantity of gas such
third party is willing to accept on a daily basis for such Customer.
2.3 Customer may tender and Pipeline shall accept, for Customer's
account every day during the term of the service agreement hereunder at all
Points of Receipt a cumulative quantity of natural gas on any day equal to
the MDQ, plus Applicable Shrinkage, until Pipeline has received a quantity
equal to the Summer Quantity, plus Applicable Shrinkage, established prior
to the beginning of the applicable Summer Season pursuant to Section 2.1.
Pipeline shall transport and deliver for Customer's account for injection
into storage such daily quantities tendered up to such Customer's MDQ.
