INTERRUPTIBLE BALANCING SERVICE
-------------------------------
(g) COMMISSION-REQUIRED FILING INFORMATION
The following information is to be provided at the
time a request for service hereunder is submitted, if available, or
when the initial Access Request for balancing service under an
executed IBS Agreement is submitted, and when any subsequent changes
occur:
(1) Affiliation of the Shipper with Natural; and
(2) The identity of the Shipper, including whether it
is a local distribution company, an interstate pipeline company, an
intrastate pipeline company, an end user, a producer, or a marketer.
4. TERM
(a) The term of service hereunder shall be set forth in
the IBS Agreement between Shipper and Natural. The term provision
must state that the IBS Agreement will terminate upon termination or
expiration, and will be suspended upon release (if the release is
partial, the suspension will be partial corresponding to the partial
nature of the release), of the FTS, FTS-G or ITS Agreement to which
the IBS Agreement is linked unless the parties mutually agree to
substitute a new linked transportation Agreement. Where any
specified end-use facility is not directly connected to Natural's
system, the IBS Agreement will not apply to that end-use facility
unless an IBS Monitoring Agreement covering that end-use facility is
in effect.
(b) Upon termination or expiration of any IBS Agreement,
service by Natural to Shipper thereunder shall cease and shall be
automatically abandoned.
(c) Natural may terminate any IBS Agreement if Natural is
required by the FERC or some other agency or court to provide service
for others utilizing the interruptible system capacity or capability
required for service under such IBS Agreement or if Natural ceases
(after receipt of any requisite regulatory authorization) to offer
service of the type covered by the IBS Agreement; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall be read to protect Natural from the
consequences of its own negligence.
