GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
(Continued)
16. BALANCING
16.1 To the extent possible, imbalance information shall be based upon
actual, real-time data. Balancing of thermally equivalent
quantities of gas received and delivered by NBP shall be achieved
as nearly as feasible on a daily basis. Correction of imbalances
shall be the responsibility of the Shipper whether or not notified
by NBP at the time of incurrence of the imbalance. Correction of
imbalances shall be scheduled with NBP using the nomination
process as soon as an imbalance is known to exist based on the
best available current data. Nominations to correct imbalances
shall have the lowest priority for scheduling purposes and shall
be subject to the availability of capacity and other operational
constraints for imbalance correction. If on any day capacity is
insufficient to schedule all imbalance nominations, all such
nominations shall be prorated accordingly. To maintain the
operational integrity of its system, NBP shall have the right to
balance any Shipper's account as conditions may warrant.
Imbalances shall exist as defined below and be subject to the
applicable charges and penalties if not corrected.
(a) Actual delivered quantity exceeds MDQ
Quantities in excess of Shipper's MDQ shall be transported,
without penalty, when capacity is available on the NBP
system and when the provision of such Authorized Overruns
shall not affect any Shipper's rights on the NBP system.
Authorized Overruns are interruptible in nature. The rate
charged for Authorized Overruns shall be the same as the
rates and charges for Interruptible Transportation under
Rate Schedule ITS-1 as set forth on effective Tariff Sheet
No. 4, and such Authorized Overruns shall be subject to the
priority of service provisions of Paragraph 13 of the
General Terms and Conditions of Service.
To the extent NBP has facilities in place, NBP may utilize
flow control to limit shipper deliveries to contractual MDQ
levels when Shipper has not requested Authorized Overrun
Service.
