Guidelines on Nomination Bumping and Elapsed-Prorated-Schedule-Quantity
The term "bumping" refers to the rights of firm customers to supersede the rights of interruptible scheduled customers to flow. The term "Elapsed-Prorated-Schedule-Quantity" means that portion of the scheduled quantity that would have theoretically flowed up to the effective time of the intraday nominations being confirmed (see below).
| Cycle | Mainline Transportation | Clay Basin Storage Injections* |
|---|---|---|
| Timely Nominations | No bumping No elapsed pro-rata restrictions (quantity can go to zero) |
No bumping No elapsed pro-rata restrictions (quantity can go to zero) |
| Evening Nominations | If capacity constraints exist: IT is bumped by FIRM NEW IT cannot bump scheduled IT received in Timely Cycle **OVR & PAY are reduced by new FIRM or IT |
If capacity constraints exist, ISS is bumped by FSS FSS is allocated by MDQ if it exceeds available capacity ISS is allocated pro-rata if capacity is available after FSS needs are met NEW ISS cannot bump scheduled ISS received in Timely Cycle |
| Intraday I Nominations | If capacity constraints exist: Scheduled IT is bumped by FIRM but not below 20.83% of scheduled quantity **OVR & PAY are reduced by new FIRM or IT |
Scheduled ISS is bumped by FSS but not below 20.83% of Scheduled quantity Scheduled FSS cannot go below 20.83% of scheduled quantity NEW FSS cannot bump scheduled FSS received in Timely Cycle |
| Intraday II Nominations | If capacity constraints exist: **Scheduled IT is bumped by FIRM but not below 37.5% of scheduled quantity **OVR or PAY are reduced by new FIRM or IT |
Scheduled ISS is bumped by FSS but not below 37.5% of Scheduled quantity Scheduled FSS cannot go below 37.5% of scheduled quantity NEW FSS cannot bump scheduled FSS received in previous Cycle |
| Intraday III Nominations | If capacity constraints exist: No bumping scheduled IT Any scheduled quantity received cannot be cut below 54.16% in this Cycle ID III). **OVR or PAY are reduced by new FIRM or IT |
No bumping |
* Note: These guidelines do not apply to withdrawal because all withdrawals are firm therefore, there is no bumping. The elapsed prorated calculation would still apply to nominations being reduced by the storage holder.
** Note: No-bumping protection applies to scheduled IT only. OVR and PAY remain subject to reduction in accordance with priority of service when capacity constraints exist, including in ID3.
