• Ranking Across Contracts provides shippers with a tool to enable them to most effectively manage their capacity.
• Ranking Across Contracts is in effect during the scheduling process. Pipeline restriction cuts will be based upon ranking across contracts within each type of service.
• Rankings on shipper nominations and confirmation responses can range from 1 (highest priority–last to be cut) to 999 (lowest priority–first to be cut). The new default rank is 500.
• Tennessee Gas Pipeline will no longer use the Opposite Ranking procedure. In PASSKEY, if the cut originates from the receipt side, then the cuts will be based on the receipt ranks within the transportation contract. However, if the cut originates from the delivery side, then the cuts will be based on the delivery ranks within the transportation contract.
