RATE SCHEDULE
ISS-M
Interruptible Storage Service
with Market Based Rates
1. Availability
This Rate Schedule applies to the 8,400,000 MMBtu of storage and 93,855 MMBtu/day of
deliverability for which Pipeline has received approval to charge market based rates.
This Rate Schedule is available for the purchase of storage service from the Pipeline for
any Customer subject to the following limitations:
(a) Pipeline has determined that it has sufficient available and uncommitted storage
capacity to perform service requested by Customer;
(b) Pipeline and Customer have executed an Agreement under this Rate Schedule;
(c) Pipeline and Customer have executed applicable transportation agreements to enable
the delivery of gas to Pipeline's storage facilities and the redelivery of gas to
Customer; and
(d) Customer shall provide its own gas for storage or may have the option to purchase
such gas from Pipeline, if available, at the greater of a negotiated market price
or Pipeline's book cost of gas, unless the available storage capacity to be used
to provide service to Customer is filled, in whole or in part, with working gas
owned by Pipeline, in which case either the Customer or another buyer must agree
to purchase such working gas inventory from Pipeline at the greater of a
negotiated market price or Pipeline's book cost of such gas. Such purchase must
be made prior to the commencement of service under this rate schedule. The book
cost of such gas is defined as the unit cost of working gas as reflected in FERC
Acct. 117.3 on the Pipeline's books. Pipeline will be required, however, to allow
such purchase of gas in place only if inventory levels are sufficient to, in
Pipeline's reasonable judgment, permit such purchase without adversely affecting
the storage deliverability required to perform any of Pipeline's other services
including no-notice service for NNS and SGT customers; Pipeline will sell such gas
unless such a sale would hamper its ability to provide no-notice service or to
balance Pipeline's system.
2. Applicability & Character of Service
The service provided hereunder provides for the receipt and injection of Customer's gas
into storage during the Summer Season and the subsequent withdrawal and delivery of the
gas during the Winter Season, all on an interruptible basis. The service is a contract
storage service which requires the Customer to schedule and nominate quantities to be
injected into or withdrawn from storage. Withdrawals during the Summer Season and
injections during the Winter Season will be permitted on an interruptible basis, subject
to Pipeline's discretion.
Daily withdrawal and injection Quantities of Gas shall be subject to available capacity
and ISS-M Stored Volume attributable to a Customer. All services performed under this
Rate Schedule shall be performed on a capacity available basis. ISS-M service will only
be available to the extent that injection, storage, and withdrawal capacity is not
required to satisfy Texas Gas' firm service obligations under Rate Schedule FSS-M or to
otherwise ensure system operational integrity. To the extent that Texas Gas cannot
fulfill these firm obligations due to ISS-M service activity, Customer may be required to
withdraw all, or any part, of its Stored Volume under this ISS-M Rate Schedule within 30
Days following notification from Texas Gas.
