GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 8
8. Request for Service Process
8.1 Request for Service
Texas Gas will post its available firm capacity on the Texas Gas Internet Website.
A Request for Service is required to initiate a new service agreement or a change
to an existing service agreement; provided that, a Request for Service is not
required for agreement extensions subject to the bilateral evergreen or unilateral
rollover provisions of Section 10.2, unless such extensions involve changes
subject to auction and bidding procedures of Section 11.1. Within a reasonable
time after submission of a Request for Service, Texas Gas and Customer shall agree
upon the quantities of gas to be transported by Texas Gas. Except as otherwise
provided above, any increase or decrease in transportation Contract Demand is
subject to the Request for Service process; provided, however, that a decrease in
transportation Contract Demand is not subject to the auction and bidding
procedures of Section 11.1. Contract Demand may be increased or decreased upon
mutual agreement by the parties through an amendment to the existing service
agreement or through execution of a new service agreement; provided, however, that
Contract Demand may be decreased only at the end of the term of an agreement for
an extension of such agreement, except as specified in Section 8.8 of the General
Terms and Conditions. A Request for Service shall be submitted on the applicable
Transportation Request Form available under the "Forms" link on the Texas Gas
Internet website. A Request for Service shall be submitted to Texas Gas by
facsimile to the applicable number or by e-mail as specified on the Transportation
Request Form. The information required for a valid Request for Service is
specified below.
8.2 The Queue
Each Request for Service will be logged based upon the date and time received.
This log is referred to herein as the "Queue." The Queue is used to track Requests
for Service and to ensure that Requests for Service are evaluated on a first-come,
first-served basis. Transportation Request Forms received pursuant to an ongoing
auction will not be added to the Queue but will be maintained as part of auction
documentation, and the Transportation Request Form submitted by the Customer(s)
who are deemed to have best bid(s) will be validated and used to prepare the
service agreement(s) for awarded capacity.
A Request for Service which does not contain all information specified in 8.3.1
(a)-(h), 8.3.2 (a)-(e), and, if applicable, 8.3.4 ("Minimum Information") will be
immediately removed from the Queue. If a Customer whose Request for Service was
removed from the queue in accordance with the previous sentence provides all
missing information, the Request for Service will be logged into the Queue based
on the date and time such information is received.
A Request for Service which contains the Minimum Information but is otherwise
incomplete or unsubstantiated will maintain its queue position; however such
Request for Service will be removed from the Queue if such information is not
provided within one (1) Business Day of notification by Texas Gas.
Texas Gas shall, within three (3) Business Days from the receipt of a Request for
Service, notify a Customer whose Request for Service is determined to be invalid
in accordance with Section 8.3 of these General Terms and Conditions and shall
state the reason(s) that the Request for Service is invalid. A Request for
Service that is determined to be invalid will be removed from the Queue.
