(f) COMPANY may apply the penalty to any SHIPPER or OBA Point Operator that
takes gas in excess of the tolerance set forth in Section 30.2(c) above if
such unauthorized takes prevent or limit another SHIPPER from receiving its
scheduled deliveries at any Delivery Point on COMPANY's system.
30.3 Daily SHIPPER Imbalances Threaten System Integrity
(a) If COMPANY determines in its reasonable judgment that any imbalance between
the gas received by COMPANY for SHIPPER'S account and delivered by COMPANY
for SHIPPER'S account, or any imbalance at a given Receipt Point or
Delivery Point, threatens the physical or operational integrity of its
pipeline system, which includes the ability to deliver to any other SHIPPER
its Daily Entitlement, or to make deliveries at a given Delivery Point,
COMPANY shall have the right to interrupt or limit at any time, and from
time to time, the quantities of gas it will receive for transportation or
deliver, whether for a SHIPPER'S account or at a given Receipt Point or
Delivery Point, to the extent COMPANY in its reasonable judgment deems
necessary in order to maintain the physical or operational integrity of its
pipeline system and the quality of service provided to other, firm
shippers.
Any notice to interrupt or limit the quantity of gas to be received or
delivered by COMPANY shall be given four (4) hours in advance, or such
shorter period of time as is required to prevent physical damage to or to
maintain the operational integrity of COMPANY'S pipeline system and the
quality of service provided to other, firm shippers, and shall be limited
to an amount COMPANY reasonably estimates does not exceed the amount of the
imbalance threatening the operational integrity of COMPANY'S pipeline
system. Further, to the maximum extent practicable, COMPANY shall limit
the scope and duration of any action or order to interrupt or limit the
receipt and/or delivery of gas so that service to SHIPPER or service at a
given Receipt Point or Delivery Point is maintained at the highest level
consistent with maintaining the physical or operational integrity of
COMPANY'S pipeline system and the quality of service provided to other,
firm shippers.
If a SHIPPER or OBA Point Operator, as applicable, accrues an imbalance in
violation of the limitation notice given by COMPANY, SHIPPER or OBA Point
Operator shall pay the following applicable penalty charges. Penalties on
SHIPPER'S or OBA Point Operator's imbalance shall be based on the following
percentages of SHIPPER'S allocated deliveries. SHIPPER'S imbalance is the
difference between SHIPPER'S allocated receipts and SHIPPER'S allocated
deliveries. An OBA Point Operator's imbalance is the difference between
scheduled daily nominations at the Interconnection Point and actual daily
receipts or deliveries at the Interconnection Point.
