GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
34. SALES BY NATURAL'S MERCHANT DIVISION
34.1 GENERAL
Effective December 1, 1993, sales service by Natural
under Rate Schedules DMQ-1, G-1, WS-1, WS-2, E-1, AOR-1 and IS-1
shall terminate. Thereafter, any sale made by Natural shall be
pursuant to this Section and to a blanket certificate issued by the
Commission. Sales by Natural shall be subject to any conditions
imposed by the Commission in authorizing, and to any Commission
Rules and Regulations applicable to, such blanket certificate.
This Section shall not apply to any gas sales made by any affiliate
of Natural.
34.2 SEPARATION OF FUNCTIONS
(a) In the event that Natural makes any sale after
December 1, 1993 other than a sale by its Transportation Division
identified in subsection (c) of this Section 34.2, Natural shall
establish a Merchant Division to make such sale. Natural does not
anticipate that any Merchant Division will be formed, but if it is,
the Merchant Division shall be separate from Natural's
Transportation Division, which markets and implements
transportation and storage services. The Merchant Division, if
any, shall be treated as a marketing affiliate for the purposes of
the requirements of Order Nos. 497, et seq., as such requirements
may be in effect from time to time. Natural's Transportation
Division shall not afford Natural's Merchant Division, if any, any
preference or favorable treatment vis a vis any other Shipper
similarly situated in any dealings between the two divisions.
Natural's Transportation Division shall provide services of equal
quality to all Shippers, consistent with the applicable Rate
Schedule, without regard to whether gas was purchased from
Natural's Merchant Division or from another entity. Natural's
Transportation Division shall disclose to non-affiliated suppliers
and Shippers non-public operating data available to personnel in
Natural's Merchant Division (if any). Unless otherwise indicated
or required by the context, references in this Tariff to "Natural"
shall encompass only Natural's Transportation Division.
