Customer Services 101—Nominations Deadlines
ANR Pipeline implemented the intra-day nominations standard promoted by the North American Energy Standard Board (NAESB) and adopted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Order No. 587.

Specifically, the standard provides shippers two opportunities (timely and evening cycle) to nominate for the next gas day effective at 9:00 a.m. (CST). As shown below, timely nominations must be submitted by 11:30 a.m. (CST) on the day prior to gas flow, and evening cycle nominations must be submitted by 6:00 p.m. (CST) on the day prior to gas flow.

In addition, there are two opportunities available for shippers to nominate within the current gas day. Nominations for the first intra-day cycle are due by 10:00 a.m. (CST), and nominations for the second intra-day cycle are due by 5:00 p.m. (CST). Nominations quantities will reflect the full 24-hour equivalent volumes, subject to certain conditions.

Unlike timely nominations that can roll from day to day, intra-day nominations, which include evening cycle nominations, will terminate at the end of the gas day for which they are effective.

ANR has volume analysts available after hours between 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. and on weekends and holidays from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. to assist you with your business. Please call our hotline number: 1-800-8-ASK-ANR and select Option 1. Should you need assistance after 10:00 p.m., you may leave a voicemail message at this number and a volume analyst will contact you on the next business day. If your call requires immediate attention on any day of the week after 10:00 p.m., please contact ANR's Gas Control locally at 713-336-5000 or toll-free at 1-800-231-2800.

For technical assistance with GEMS, the Help Desk is available by calling 1-800-8-ASK-ANR and selecting Option 2. A representative is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. After hours, you may leave a message and your call will be returned within fifteen minutes.

For further information regarding the nominations process, please contact your volume analyst.
