2. APPLICABILITY AND CHARACTER OF SERVICE: (continued)

2.5 A Shipper under Rate Schedule EFT shall request an Accelerated

Consumption Election ("ACE") for each of its Primary Delivery

Point(s) and MDO(s). If approved, the ACE will be specified in

its Service Agreement. Shipper's ACE shall not be less than eight

(8) hours, and such hours will be consecutive, unless Transporter

otherwise agrees in the Service Agreement. Transporter shall have

no obligation to make deliveries to Shipper at flow rates, or in

quantities, greater than those applicable under the ACE and

Contract Limitations set forth in the Rate Schedule EFT Service

Agreement.

2.6 A Shipper under this Rate Schedule shall also submit its planned

hourly consumption schedule for each day by 8:00 am (Central Clock

Time) for the Day beginning at 9:00 am (Central Clock Time). For

each nomination for the same Day thereafter, Shipper will also be

required to submit a revised hourly consumption schedule.

Revisions to initial consumption schedules will be subject to

approval by Transporter's Gas Control department, or successor

group. All consumption schedules will be consistent with

Shipper's Contract Demand and applicable ACE and MDO under its

Service Agreement. Transporter may permit Shipper to submit

hourly consumption schedules that extend the hours over which

applicable ACEs will be consumed to the extent operationally

feasible.

2.7 Any Shipper under Rate Schedule EFT may seek to release its MRO

and/or Receipt Entitlement, as applicable, MDO and associated ACE,

and Contract Demand to others subject to the terms and conditions

provided for capacity release under Rate Schedule FT in Section 19

of the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff; provided,

however, any such released capacity shall be subject to the terms

and conditions of Rate Schedule EFT. The Replacement Shipper will

retain the ACE as defined in the Releasing Shipper's Service

Agreement, at the Primary Delivery Point(s) released by the

Releasing Shipper.

2.8 A Shipper under Rate Schedule EFT shall have access to Secondary

Delivery Points; however, all volumes nominated and scheduled at

Secondary Delivery Points shall be subject to the constant rates

provision of Section 5.4 of the General Terms and Conditions.
