REQUESTS FOR SERVICE
A Qualifying Customer desiring service under FTS shall submit a request for service to the Company, which shall include the following information:
The requested maximum daily contract quantity (MDQ);
The specific physical interconnection(s) between the Company and the interstate pipeline through which the Qualifying Customer will source its gas to the Company's facilities;
The specific meter(s) through which gas nominated under this Rate Schedule will be delivered to the Qualifying Customer's facilities for consumption; and
The requested term of service.
A Qualifying Customer that requests multiple receipt and delivery points shall allocate a share of its total MDQ among the specified receipt and delivery points so that the allocation equals 100% of the requested MDQ. To the extent operationally feasible, Qualifying Customer will have the option to adjust its receipt and delivery point MDQ allocation on a monthly basis.
In the event that requests for service under FTS exceed available capacity, the requests yielding the greatest economic benefit to the Company, as determined by the Company, shall be granted first. As used in this paragraph "economic benefit" shall be determined, on a net present value basis, based upon: 1) the proposed contract rate to be paid for the FTS service, 2) the proposed term of the FTS service agreement and 3) the proposed MDQ for the FTS service. In the event the net present value is equal among requests, then available capacity will be allocated on a pro rata basis among requesting Qualifying Customers. Allocation of capacity pursuant to this section shall not change the otherwise applicable curtailment priority of FTS service.
Company shall notify the Qualifying Customer whether it can provide the requested FTS.
DETERMINATION OF DAILY MAXIMUM AND ANNUAL CONTRACT QUANTITIES
A Qualifying Customer's maximum daily contract quantity (MDQ) will be defined by the Qualifying Customer and shall be included in the Qualifying Customer's FTS Agreement.
