Interstate Pipeline Capacity Clause Samples

Interstate Pipeline Capacity. Utility will assign firm interstate pipeline capacity to CTA in a manner consistent with Tariff Rule No. 32 and will notify CTA of DCQ and Core Capacity Assignment by the 20th calendar day of the month. CTA agrees that the total assigned core capacity quantity shall be the Daily Contract Quantity (DCQ) determined on a monthly basis by SoCalGas, in accordance with Tariff Rule No. 32, and shall be assigned and accepted at 100% of the “as-billed rate.” CTA will be notified of bid posting by SoCalGas and will have 24 hours to confirm the capacity assignment on the appropriate interstate pipeline bulletin boards. It is the CTA’s responsibility to verify and confirm posting with the interstate pipeline. CTA and interstate pipeline will be responsible for, or liable for any billing or administration of interstate pipeline capacity agreements. If SoCalGas has not received any communication from CTA within the 24 hour bid posting confirmation period, the bid will be considered confirmed. Consequences for failure to confirm shall be determined by Tariff Rule No. 32 and Tariff Rule No. 36. CTA shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining credit with any interstate pipeline on which capacity is assigned consistent with Tariff Rule No. 32. CTA is responsible for, and shall pay directly to the interstate pipeline, all charges for assigned capacity. Utility will reimburse CTA an amount equal to CTA’s payment to the interstate pipeline for its assigned capacity, offset by Procurement Management Charges due from CTA, all as set forth in Rule No. 32. CTA shall provide documentation of its payments to interstate pipelines for capacity used by CTA in this Core Aggregation Service in a form acceptable to Utility. Utility shall be entitled to set-off such amount from Utility’s subsequent bills to CTA.

Interstate Pipeline Capacity. As a prerequisite for its participation in this Program, Supplier agrees, as agent for its pool customers, to acquire firm interstate pipeline capacity into the Company’s system in amounts equal to the aggregate MDQ of Supplier's customer pools less the firm interstate pipeline capacity assigned to the Supplier by the Company, including the MDDQ associated with the EFBS program, as more fully described below. The Company shall have the right to periodically review the level and assignment of Supplier’s capacity contracts in order to assure adequate MDQ coverage. Due to the physical configuration of the Company’s system, and certain upstream interstate pipeline facilities, and to enable the Company to comply with lawful interstate pipeline tariffs and/or to maintain the Company's system integrity, the Company reserves the right to direct each Supplier to proportionally deliver, with respect to the Company's northern and southern interstate pipeline receipt points, the Supplier's daily pool requirements, which shall include any use by Supplier of its EFBS bank so that Supplier’s total deliveries, including flowing supply and EFBS bank withdraw, need not exceed Supplier’s MDQ. Specific delivery requirements will be electronically posted by the Company. If Supplier’s aggregate Pools’ MDQ exceeds 6,000 Dth/day and Supplier adds 3,000 Dth/day of additional MDQ over Supplier’s MDQ as of April 1, 2007, Supplier shall be assigned a proportionate amount of Company’s interstate pipeline firm transportation capacity by Company on a seasonal basis. This MDQ criterion will be reviewed by the Company semi-annually based on the MDQ as of September 30th with any release/recall becoming effective the following November 1st through March 31st, and on the MDQ as of February 28th, with any release/recall becoming effective the following April 1st through October 31st. 1. Supplier will be notified of any change to its released capacity by October 15th for winter capacity and by March 15th for summer capacity. 2. The assignment shall be structured as a release of capacity. The posted rate will be the rate for which the Company has contracted with the interstate pipeline. Any capacity with a discounted rate will be posted open to bids, with Supplier being the prearranged bidder. All other capacity will be posted at the pipeline’s maximum rate with Supplier being the prearranged shipper. 3. Company shall assign interstate pipeline firm transportation capacity consistent with its d...

  • Two-Way Interconnection Trunks 2.4.1 Where the Parties use Two-Way Interconnection Trunks for the exchange of traffic between Frontier and Onvoy, Onvoy, at its own expense, shall: 2.4.1.1 provide its own facilities to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier’s network in a LATA; and/or 2.4.1.2 obtain transport to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier’s network in a LATA (a) from a third party, or, (b) if Frontier offers such transport pursuant to a Frontier access Tariff, from Frontier. 2.4.2 Where the Parties use Two-Way Interconnection Trunks for the exchange of traffic between Frontier and Onvoy, Frontier, at its own expense, shall provide its own facilities to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier’s network in a LATA. 2.4.3 Prior to establishing any Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, Onvoy shall meet with Frontier to conduct a joint planning meeting (“Joint Planning Meeting”). At that Joint Planning Meeting, each Party shall provide to the other Party originating Centum Call Seconds (Hundred Call Seconds) information, and the Parties shall mutually agree on the appropriate initial number of End Office and Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunks and the interface specifications at the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier’s network in a LATA at which the Parties interconnect for the exchange of traffic. Where the Parties have agreed to convert existing One-Way Interconnection Trunks to Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, at the Joint Planning Meeting, the Parties shall also mutually agree on the conversion process and project intervals for conversion of such One-Way Interconnection Trunks to Two-Way Interconnection Trunks. 2.4.4 On a semi-annual basis, Onvoy shall submit a good faith forecast to Frontier of the number of End Office and Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunks that Onvoy anticipates Frontier will need to provide during the ensuing two (2) year period for the exchange of traffic between Onvoy and Frontier. Onvoy’s trunk forecasts shall conform to the Frontier CLEC trunk forecasting guidelines as in effect at that time. 2.4.5 The Parties shall meet (telephonically or in person) from time to time, as needed, to review data on End Office and Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunks to determine the need for new trunk groups and to plan any necessary changes in the number of Two-Way Interconnection Trunks. 2.4.6 Two-Way Interconnection Trunks shall have SS7 Common Channel Signaling. The Parties agree to utilize B8ZS and Extended Super Frame (ESF) DS1 facilities, where available. 2.4.7 With respect to End Office Two-Way Interconnection Trunks, both Parties shall use an economic Centum Call Seconds (Hundred Call Seconds) equal to five (5). Either Party may disconnect End Office Two-Way Interconnection Trunks that, based on reasonable engineering criteria and capacity constraints, are not warranted by the actual traffic volume experienced. 2.4.8 Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that connect to a Frontier access Tandem shall be engineered using a design blocking objective of ▇▇▇▇- ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.005 during the average time consistent busy hour. Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that connect to a Frontier local Tandem shall be engineered using a design blocking objective of ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ B.01 during the average time consistent busy hour. Frontier and Onvoy shall engineer Two-Way Interconnection Trunks using Telcordia Notes on the Networks SR 2275 (formerly known as BOC Notes on the LEC Networks SR-TSV-002275). 2.4.9 The performance standard for final Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups shall be that no such Interconnection Trunk group will exceed its design blocking objective (B.005 or B.01, as applicable) for three (3) consecutive calendar traffic study months. 2.4.10 Onvoy shall determine and order the number of Two-Way Interconnection Trunks that are required to meet the applicable design blocking objective for all traffic carried on each Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group. Onvoy shall order Two-Way Interconnection Trunks by submitting ASRs to Frontier setting forth the number of Two-Way Interconnection Trunks to be installed and the requested installation dates within Frontier’s effective standard intervals or negotiated intervals, as appropriate. Onvoy shall complete ASRs in accordance with OBF Guidelines as in effect from time to time. 2.4.11 Frontier may (but shall not be obligated to) monitor Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups using service results for the applicable design blocking objective. If Frontier observes blocking in excess of the applicable design objective on any Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group and Onvoy has not notified Frontier that it has corrected such blocking, Frontier may submit to Onvoy a Trunk Group Service Request directing Onvoy to remedy the blocking. Upon receipt of a Trunk Group Service Request, Onvoy will complete an ASR to establish or augment the End Office Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group(s), or, if mutually agreed, to augment the Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunk group with excessive blocking and submit the ASR to Frontier within five (5) Business Days. 2.4.12 The Parties will review all Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that reach a utilization level of seventy percent (70%), or greater, to determine whether those groups should be augmented. Onvoy will promptly augment all Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups that reach a utilization level of eighty percent (80%) by submitting ASRs for additional trunks sufficient to attain a utilization level of approximately seventy percent (70%), unless the Parties agree that additional trunking is not required. For each Tandem Two- Way Interconnection Trunk group with a utilization level of less than sixty percent (60%), unless the Parties agree otherwise, Onvoy will promptly submit ASRs to disconnect a sufficient number of Interconnection Trunks to attain a utilization level of approximately sixty percent (60%) for each respective group, unless the Parties agree that the Two-Way Interconnection Trunks should not be disconnected. In the event Onvoy fails to submit an ASR for Two-Way Interconnection Trunks in conformance with this Section, Frontier may disconnect the excess Interconnection Trunks or bill (and Onvoy shall pay) for the excess Interconnection Trunks at the applicable Frontier rates. 2.4.13 Because Frontier will not be in control of when and how many Two-Way Interconnection Trunks are established between its network and Onvoy’s network, Frontier’s performance in connection with these Two-Way Interconnection Trunk groups shall not be subject to any performance measurements and remedies under this Agreement, and, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, under any FCC or Commission approved carrier- to-carrier performance assurance guidelines or plan. 2.4.14 Onvoy will route its traffic, or traffic belonging to its Interconnected VoIP Provider Customers, to Frontier over the End Office and Tandem Two-Way Interconnection Trunks in accordance with SR-TAP-000191, including but not limited to those standards requiring that a call from Onvoy to a Frontier End Office will first be routed to the End Office Interconnection Trunk group between Onvoy and the Frontier End Office.
