Supply Forecasting & Notice of Shipment (NOS) Verification Procedures - Section 4

4.0 Stakeholder Responsibilities

4.1 Production Facility Operators Responsibilities (all)

It is the responsibility of the Production Facility Operator to:

1. Prepare and submit forecasts of production (Form A/Transfer Form A) to the downstream Delivery Point
2. Monitor production against forecast in the production month
3. Prepare and submit revised forecasts (Form A and B) when production or Shipper split deviates or is expected to deviate from forecast

(see Section 5.0 Forecast of Supply for details about preparing Form As, Bs, etc.)

Timing: Activities listed above that are identified in the COLC Reporting Calendar shall be completed in accordance with the dates/times shown therein.

4.2 Gathering Pipeline and Upstream Feeder Pipeline Responsibilities

Note: Gathering Pipeline or Upstream Feeder Pipeline Operator responsibilities include operational Storage/Truck Terminal movements that comprise part of the Gathering Pipeline's System.

It is the responsibility of the Gathering Pipeline or Upstream Feeder Pipeline Operator to:

1. Receive and process Transfer Form A forecasts of supply per Section 5.2 of these Procedures
   • Check that a deviation code (and supporting detail) is provided where Transfer Form A forecast exceeds historical calculation (no deviation code defaults the forecast to historical calculation)
   • Follow up with Producers/operators on any inconsistencies
2. Create and issue a Form C to Shippers per Section 7.1 and 7.2 of these Procedures
3. Create and issue a Transfer Form A (per Section 5.2) to the downstream connected Facility Operator
4. Receive and process NOSs (follow up and resolve errors/discrepancies/other)
5. Ensure overall Gathering System or Upstream Feeder Pipeline NOSs are balanced for the month before confirming deliveries (verification) with downstream
6. Work with Shippers and downstream Facility Operator to resolve any imbalances between the interconnected facilities
7. Address any Gathering/Upstream Feeder Pipeline capacity constraints (see Section 9.1) prior to confirming deliveries (verification) to the downstream Facility Operator
8. Verify deliveries (by Shipper) to downstream Facility Operator
9. Monitor receipts from supply points during the production month and follow up on deviations
10. Provide Original and final NOS and actual receipt and delivery volume information by Crude Type to COLC Administrative Manager (template to be provided by COLC Administrative Manager).

Timing: Activities listed above that are identified in the COLC Reporting Calendar shall be completed in accordance with the dates/times shown therein.

4.3 Feeder Pipeline Operator Responsibilities

Note: Feeder Pipeline Operator responsibilities include operational Storage/Truck Terminal movements that comprise part of the Feeder Pipeline's System.

It is the responsibility of the Feeder Pipeline Operator to:

1. Receive and process Form A forecasts of supply per Section 5.0 of these Procedures
   • Check that a deviation code (and supporting detail) is provided where Form A forecast exceeds historical calculation (no deviation code defaults the forecast to historical calculation)
   • Follow up with Producers/operators on any inconsistencies
2. Create and issue a Form C to Shippers per Section 7.1 and 7.2 of these Procedures.
3. Receive and process NOSs (follow up and resolve errors/discrepancies/other)
4. Ensure overall Feeder Pipeline NOSs are balanced for the month before confirming deliveries (verification) with downstream
5. Work with Shippers and downstream Facility Operator to resolve any imbalances between the interconnected facilities
6. Address any Feeder Pipeline Capacity constraints (see Section 9.1) prior to confirming deliveries to the downstream Facility Operator
7. Verify deliveries (by Shipper) to downstream Facility Operator
8. Monitor receipts from supply points during the production month and follow up on deviations
9. Provide Original and final NOS and actual receipt and delivery volume information by Crude Type COLC Administrative Manager (template to be provided by COLC Administrative Manager).

Timing: Activities listed above that are identified in the COLC Reporting Calendar shall be completed in accordance with the dates/times shown therein.

4.4 Shipper Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of a Shipper to:

1. Provide (and maintain) properly balanced NOSs (per Section 8.0) to the appropriate Facility Operator/s including (but not limited to) ensuring:
   • Trade volumes with counterparties (Shipper transfers) have been confirmed prior to submitting NOSs (ensuring Shipper Transfers are in agreement is critical to the downstream verification process because of tight timelines)
     Note: A Shipper transfer discrepancy not resolved by the Shipper will result in the pipeline or terminal defaulting to the lower transfer volume
   • Dispositions reflect deliveries to intended Delivery Points
2. Allow Pipelines and other Facility Operators to provide non-Shipper specific, aggregated, post-production month receipt and delivery information to the COLC Administrative Manager, (as identified in Section 2.3 of these Procedures)
3. Provide properly balanced NOSs and subsequent revisions (including post apportionment NOS) to the pipeline/terminal operator per the COLC Reporting Calendar deadlines or the pipeline/terminal operator's rules and regulations, as the case may be.

Timing: Activities listed above that are identified in the COLC Reporting Calendar shall be completed in accordance with the dates/times shown therein.
