Nomination Integrity Program (NIP)

Irregularities in movement volumes, such as late volume changes or overestimations of initial nominations, create disturbances in the optimization and scheduling of a pipeline, facility, and/or location.  In order to streamline unexpected changes and curtail late nomination changes, which disrupts both pipeline operations and shipper activates, a Nomination Integrity Program (NIP) is implemented.

The Nomination Integrity Program is published in T4 under the Nominations -> Nomination Integrity tab for West Shore (WSP) and Explorer Pipeline (EXP).  Colonial publishes NIP data under the CPL Integrity submenu.
