GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 9
(Cont'd)
The default EFRP for Rate Schedules NNS, NNL, SGT, and SGL shall be the
Annual Option and that election shall remain effective for subsequent
annual periods; the default EFRP for Rate Schedules SNS and STF shall be
the Seasonal Option and that election shall remain effective for
subsequent annual periods. To elect the non-default option for the next
annual period, Customer must provide written notice to Texas Gas of such
election for each contract prior to August 1, of the year preceding the
affected annual period; provided, however, for the annual period beginning
November 1, 2008, Customer may provide notice until September 30, 2008 to
elect the non-default option. If Customer has elected the non-default
option, Customer may elect to return to the default option commencing with
the next annual period by providing written notice to Texas Gas of such
election prior to August 1 of the year preceding the affected annual
period. New NNS, NNL, SGL, SGT, SNS, and STF service agreements will
automatically incorporate the default option. The Customer may elect the
non-default option for subsequent annual periods by following the
procedures outlined above. Any Customer which has released capacity for a
term which extends into the next annual period shall not make a fuel
election change and will continue their existing fuel election for the
subsequent annual period.
EFRPs for storage service under Rate Schedules FSS and ISS shall be
established on an annual basis for net daily injection and withdrawal
quantities.
9.2.4 Projected Fuel Retention Percentages
With each filing hereunder, for each service category, Texas Gas shall
calculate a PFRP by projecting the annual or seasonal, as applicable, fuel
zone distribution and storage utilization, based on historic throughput,
fuel use and loss. The Lost and Unaccounted For component of the PFRP
volumes is determined for the system as a whole and allocated to each fuel
zone based on compressor fuel use.
A PFRP for service under Rate Schedules NNS, NNL, SGT, SGL, SNS, FT, STF,
or IT, will be determined on an annual basis for each service category,
except for those NNS, NNL, SGT, SGL, SNS, and STF Customers utilizing the
Seasonal Option (whether by default or by election), in which case the
PFRP will be determined on a seasonal basis. A PFRP for service under
Rate Schedules FSS and ISS will be determined on an annual basis, based on
both injection and withdrawal quantities.
Projections used to calculate the PFRPs shall be the average of the last
two years' actual throughput volumes and actual fuel used and the average
of the last four years' actual "Lost and Unaccounted For" volumes.
"Lost and Unaccounted For" volumes are the negative or positive difference
between total receipts (including receipts from transportation and storage
customers) and total deliveries (including deliveries to transportation
and storage customers and the total gas used for compressor fuel, system
use, and any other operational needs where the gas is actually measured or
accounted for).
Any variations from these procedures in a future filing made pursuant to
this Section 9.2 shall be fully identified and supported by Texas Gas in
accordance with its burden or proof under NGA Section 4 and such
variations shall reflect only known and measurable changes or trends on
the Texas Gas system. Notwithstanding this provision, Texas Gas retains
its right under Section 4 of the NGA to propose modifications to, or
elimination of, the fuel tracker provisions set forth in this Section 9.2.
