STANDARDS LANGUAGE

NAESB WGQ Proposed Definition 1.2.[z1]

A Shaped Nomination is a nomination in which a Service Requester provides both a daily quantity and a quantity for each hour of the Gas Day, with each hour beginning at the start of the hour (e.g. 10:00 AM).

NAESB WGQ Proposed Standard 1.3.[z1]

Where a Transportation Service Provider offers a service under its tariff, general terms and conditions, and/or contract provisions which expressly provides for a Service Requester (SR) to submit a Shaped Nomination, the SR should submit its nomination for that service as a Shaped Nomination using NAESB WGQ Standard No. 1.4.1 (Nomination). Receipt of service expressly providing for the use of a Shaped Nomination may require additional coordination with interconnected parties.

A SR utilizing other services that do not expressly provide for the use of a Shaped Nomination should not be required to submit a Shaped Nomination nor does this standard prescribe any affect for services that do not expressly provide for Shaped Nominations.

4. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION

a. Description of Request:

Develop business practices as needed to support R16007: “Update the NAESB Nomination dataset and related datasets to support the ability for a service requester to submit a single nomination with hourly quantities when such a service is supported by the TSP.”

Motion (01/17/2017):

Proposed Revised NAESB WGQ Definition 1.2.[z1]

Motion passed unanimously

Motion (12/08-09/2016):

Proposed NAESB WGQ Definition 1.2.[z1]

A Shaped Nomination is a nomination in which a Service Requester provides both a daily quantity and a quantity for each hour of the Gas Day.

Proposed NAESB WGQ Standard 1.3.[z1]

Proposed Instruction to IR and Technical Subcommittees:

The WGQ BPS instructs the Joint IR/Technical Subcommittees to accommodate the ability for a Service Requester to submit Shaped Nominations during each of the NAESB nomination cycles in the NAESB WGQ Standard No. 1.4.1 Nomination and any other corresponding data sets as necessary. Additionally, IR/Technical should investigate whether the solution should accommodate daylight savings time variances of 23-hour days and 25-hour days.
