GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 8
(Cont'd)
8.8 Capacity Reduction Provisions
The provisions of this Section 8.8 are only applicable to Rate Schedules NNS, NNL,
SGT, and SGL.
(a) If a shipper utilizing Texas Gas' transmission facilities bypasses an
existing NNS, NNL, SGT, or SGL Customer's (referred to collectively in
this Section 8.8 as "No-notice Customer") facilities to provide direct
service to an entity that is currently receiving service from such No-
notice Customer then the affected No-Notice Customer may reduce the
applicable contract demand by an amount not to exceed the contract demand
lost as a direct result of the bypass. The No-notice Customer shall
provide written notice to Texas Gas of its desired contract demand
reduction. Such reduction shall become effective on the latter of 60 days
following receipt of such notice or the effective date of the bypass.
(b) If a No-Notice Customer is required by its regulatory or legislative
authority to unbundle its merchant function or provide open access
transportation on some or all of its facilities ("Regulatory
Proceedings"), then the No-notice Customer shall use its best efforts
during the Regulatory Proceedings:
(i) To require any parties that assume all or part of the
merchant function to take assignment of the relevant pro
rata portion of Customer's applicable contract demand
under the terms of the No-notice Customer's service
agreement, including any existing discount or negotiated
rate agreement.
(ii) To ensure that its NNS, NNL, SGT, or SGL service agreement
with Texas Gas does not receive a disproportionate
reduction in contract demand versus the contract demand of
any of its other firm service agreements on Texas Gas, or
on any other pipeline.
(iii) If the No-notice Customer is unable to assign the rights
as provided in (b)(i) above, which results in a loss of
applicable contract demand, then to the extent that any
portion of the NNS, NNL, SGT, or SGL service agreement's
demand charges becomes a stranded cost, the No-notice
Customer shall have the right to reduce its applicable
contract demand. The NNS, NNL, SGT, or SGL Customer shall
provide written notice to Texas Gas of its desired
contract demand reduction following issuance of the final
order. Such reduction shall become effective 60 days
following receipt of such notice.
Contemporaneously with any notice of contract demand reduction as provided
in (a) or (b) above, the No-notice Customer shall also submit a valid
request for service reflecting the necessary reductions in primary receipt
and delivery point quantities and supply lateral capacity rights, as
applicable.
8.9 Updated Information
Texas Gas may request and Customer will provide updated, standard request-for-
service-type information, such as contact, notice, and/or billing information, to
facilitate ongoing contract administration activities and rollover/evergreen
agreement processing. Texas Gas will use reasonable efforts to minimize such
requests.
