Where a battery fails to achieve at least 95% of a requested increase to its capability,
the Committee Administrative Office may request from the battery operator copies of

wells and/or volumes from these inventories has failed to meet at least 95% of forecast,
the feeder pipeline, Committee membership and the appropriate government agency
shall be notified of such shortfall. The feeder pipeline shall use this information to
develop its own credibility rating for battery operators to be applied to future requests for

6.2 Government Agency Monitoring
The Committee Administrative Office shall provide the appropriate provincial and/or
federal government agencies with monthly reports as set forth in Section 6.1, above.
Each of the government agencies mentioned in Section 6.1 are the applicable
regulators for the various individual feeder pipelines and may direct, from time to time,
the Committee Administrative Office to redirect reports to other appropriate government
agencies within their individual jurisdiction.
The government agencies shall review such reports and, either of their own volition or in
response to a complaint may review the verification practices of one or more of the
feeder pipelines under their jurisdiction. Through discussions and, where required,
government intervention, the government agencies shall ensure that feeder pipeline
operators are able to exercise their responsibilities as set forth in these procedures and
any amendments thereto.
Government agencies may be asked, from time to time, to deal directly with parties
who, through a history of activities appear to be thwarting the forecasting/nominating
procedures. It is anticipated that the government agencies may wish to discuss among
themselves what parties are causing problems.
