GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
(Continued)
16. BALANCING (Continued)
16.1 (Continued)
(a) Actual delivered quantity exceeds MDQ (Continued)
An imbalance shall exist when NBP has not authorized
deliveries in excess of a Shipper's MDQ because the
operational integrity of NBP's system is threatened. Under
these circumstances, NBP may, without notice, adjust Shipper
requests for confirmation from receipt or delivery markets
on NBP's system. In addition, NBP may issue an Operational
Flow Order consistent with Paragraph 18 of these General
Terms and Conditions of Service, and Shipper will be subject
to tolerances and penalties as provided for in Paragraph
18.5.
(b) Actual delivered quantity exceeds actual confirmed receipt
quantity
A net negative imbalance shall exist if the difference
between the quantity received (nominated, scheduled, and
confirmed) and the quantity delivered, taking into account
the reduction in quantity for compressor fuel use, yields a
negative result. Commencing upon notification by NBP of the
existence of the negative imbalance, and to the extent that
the NBP system is not constrained or its integrity is not
threatened and NBP has not issued an Operational Flow Order,
Shipper shall have three (3) days to correct the imbalance.
Remedies:
Where NBP has facilities in place, NBP may utilize flow
control to limit shipper deliveries to even hourly rates
equal to one twenty-fourth (1/24th) of a Shipper's Maximum
Daily Quantity, consistent with Paragraph 14.5 of these
General Terms and Conditions of Service. Shippers may
schedule with NBP using the nomination process to eliminate
or reduce negative imbalances. Shippers may also resolve
negative imbalances through the use of Rate Schedule PAL-1
Service. In addition, in accordance with this Paragraph 16,
Shipper may net or trade imbalances to eliminate or reduce
negative imbalances.
