13.2 Delivery Point Allocation:
(a) Use of PDAs: On a daily basis at each Delivery Point where a PDA applies,
COMPANY shall allocate the quantities of gas metered at the point among the
quantities of gas scheduled at the point for the account of its SHIPPERS
based on the Pro Rata PDA method unless another PDA method is provided by
the Point Operator for the party that owns or operates the downstream
facilities interconnecting with COMPANY'S facilities at each Delivery Point
(the "Delivery Point Operator"). The alternative PDA methodologies from
which the downstream Point Operator may choose include the Swing PDA, a
Ranked PDA, a Percentage PDA, or any other mutually agreeable allocation
methodology. A new allocation detail may be needed when a nomination
changes. The PDA shall be provided by the Delivery Point Operator on a
line item basis at the level of nomination detail provided by COMPANY for
confirmation. COMPANY shall then use the predetermined priority provided
by SHIPPER in its nomination for applying the PDA to the Package ID level
within the line item nomination level. SHIPPER agrees that COMPANY shall
have the right to rely conclusively on the PDA provided pursuant to this
Section 13.2 for the purposes of determining the daily quantities of gas
delivered by COMPANY for the account of SHIPPER at each Delivery Point.
However, anything else in this Section 13 to the contrary notwithstanding,
if the Delivery Point is covered by an Operational Balancing Agreement as
described in Section 13.3 of these GT&C, allocation of the delivery of gas
shall be governed by the Operational Balancing Agreement before any
allocation is made under the PDA.
(b) PDA Deadlines: Each PDA that is to apply to a Delivery Point must be
submitted to COMPANY, through SoNet Premier, during the confirmation of
that Day's nominations or prior to 5:00 p.m. CCT on the Day following the
Gas Day. COMPANY shall extend the PDA deadline to no later than four (4)
Business Days following the end of the month in which the gas was
transported in the event all of the affected parties, including the Point
Operator and all shippers, send notice to COMPANY in writing that they are
in agreement on the PDA to be used and have no objection to a change in the
PDA. If there are no additions in nominations by a SHIPPER at a Delivery
Point or other changes, the current PDA will stay in effect as submitted
until it is changed pursuant to the foregoing procedures. If SHIPPER adds
a nomination at a Delivery Point, then SHIPPER must provide, or cause to be
provided, as set forth above a PDA at the Delivery Point which recognizes
SHIPPER'S nomination.
(c) Pipeline Interconnects: As provided by Section 13.3 of these General Terms
and Conditions, all pipeline interconnections should be covered by an
Operational Balancing Agreement. If for any reason, no Operational
Balancing Agreement is in effect for a given pipeline interconnection, a
PDA statement for Delivery Points interconnecting with third-party
pipelines shall be provided by the Point Operator for the third-party
pipeline and shall be one of the PDA methods enumerated in Section 13.2(a)
above or Section 13.3 below. If there is a conflict between the foregoing
methodologies and the third-party pipeline's provisions in its FERC Gas
Tariff governing the allocations of gas, the pipeline company and COMPANY
shall mutually agree on the PDA methodology to be used.
