16. CAPACITY ALLOCATION AND CURTAILMENT
16.1 If, (a) on any day, Transporter determines that the capacity
of its system, or any portion thereof, including the points
at which gas is tendered for transportation, is insufficient
to serve all transportation requirements that are otherwise
scheduled to receive service on any such day, or (b) subject
to the provisions of Section 6 of Rate Schedule FTS or
Section 5 of Rate Schedule ITS, Transporter receives in a
given day nominations at any Point(s) of Receipt or Delivery
in excess of the capacity available at such Point(s) of
Receipt or Delivery during that month, capacity that
requires allocation shall be allocated in the following
sequence:
a. to all Firm Shippers on a pro rata basis;
b. to all Interruptible Shippers paying the Maximum ITS
rate, on a first-come, first-served basis upon date
Transporter receives a valid transportation service
request;
c. to the extent that two or more Interruptible Shippers
having the same first-come, first-served priority are
paying the maximum rate under Rate Schedule ITS, on a
pro rata basis; and
d. to the extent that Interruptible Shippers are not
paying the maximum rate under Rate Schedule ITS, on the
basis of price; provided, however, that if two or more
Interruptible Shippers are paying the same price that
is not the maximum rate under Rate Schedule ITS, on a
pro rata basis.
However, with respect to the above capacity allocation
methodology, for shippers paying the same rate, a higher
priority interruptible agreement shall not be allowed to
bump volumes which were flowing in the prior month under a
lower priority interruptible agreement.
16.2 For valid nominations for interruptible transportation
service activity which is to commence on any day of any
calendar month other than the first day, a higher priority
interruptible agreement shall not be allowed to bump volumes
which are flowing under a lower priority agreement
regardless of the rate which is applicable to such service.
