GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
All nominations for service, including firm overrun, will be required to be
electronically nominated by path, i.e. specific receipt point to specific
delivery point, provided that for nomination purposes, a Point of Delivery
in the Market Area or Argus Zone in the Field Area may be a currently
established Operational Zone, applicable to deliveries to the facilities of a
single LDC. For Shipper(s) with combined service for both Market Area and
Field Area, nominations from the Field Area to the Market Area (or vice
versa) must include a nomination to and from the NNG Field/MKT Demarcation
(POI 37654). Northern will accept facsimile nominations in the event of a
failure of electronic nomination communication equipment. Overrun quantities
shall be nominated as a separate transaction. All nominations must include
shipper-defined begin dates and end dates. Additionally, the upstream and/or
downstream contract information and rankings must be provided for a
nomination to be valid.
The receiver of a nomination initiates the confirmation process. The party
that would receive a Request for Confirmation or an unsolicited Confirmation
Response may waive the obligation of the sender to send.
Northern may accept "standing nominations," excluding intra-day nominations,
for the then existing term of the Service Agreement. The term "standing
nominations" shall mean a nomination of a specific volume to remain in effect
until the earlier of:
i) the requested ending date of such nomination; or
ii) a request by Shipper to change such nomination;
provided however, the term of the nomination is within the term of the
Service Agreement.
Auto-balancing is where a Shipper may request Northern to automatically
schedule volumes into or out of storage on behalf of the Shipper at such
times when a Shipper is allocated at a supply/market point as long as the
Shipper currently holds an FDD/IDD service agreement and as long as the
scheduled volume is within the storage parameters. To the extent imbalances
or receipt and delivery point variances occur, Shipper shall be responsible
for any applicable charges. To request this service, Shipper shall submit an
executed Storage Balancing Option form located on Northern's website.
With respect to the timely nomination/confirmation process at a receipt or
delivery point, in the absence of agreement to the contrary, the lesser of
the confirmation quantities should be the confirmed quantity. If there is no
response to a Request for Confirmation or an unsolicited Confirmation
Response, the lesser of the confirmation quantity or the previously scheduled
quantity should be the new confirmed quantity.
With respect to the processing of requests for increases during the intraday
nominations/confirmation process, in the absence of agreement to the
contrary, the lesser of the confirmation quantities should be the new
confirmed quantity. If there is no response to a Request For Confirmation or
an unsolicited Confirmation Response, the previously scheduled quantity
should be the new confirmed quantity.
With respect to the processing of requests for decreases during the intraday
nomination/confirmation process, in the absence of agreement to the contrary,
the lesser of the confirmation quantities should be the new confirmed
quantity, but in any event no less than the elapsed-prorated-scheduled
quantity. If there is no response to a Request For Confirmation or an
unsolicited Confirmation Response, the greater of the confirmation quantity
or the elapsed-prorated-scheduled quantity should be the new confirmed
quantity.
