7. STORAGE FIELD LOSSES
In the event of a loss of gas from one or more storage fields utilized
by Transporter resulting from force majeure, such loss shall be allocated
among Transporter and each Shipper receiving service under the FSS, SS-1, SS-
2, ESS or ISS Rate Schedule in proportion to the quantities of gas (excluding
base gas) of each in storage immediately prior thereto as reasonably
determined by Transporter, and if such extraordinary loss exceeds the top gas
balances of Transporter and all such Shippers, such excess will be deemed to
be from Transporter's base gas. Losses of gas from storage fields utilized by
Transporter that are not losses resulting from force majeure, as defined
below, will be deemed to be gas from Transporter's top gas balance, and, to
the extent such losses exceed Transporter's top gas balance, such excess will
be deemed to be from Transporter's base gas. For purposes of this Section 7,
a loss of gas resulting from force majeure is a loss caused by any acts of
God, strikes, lockouts, acts of the public enemy, wars, blockades,
insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires,
storms, floods, washouts, arrests and restraints of rulers and peoples, civil
disturbances, explosions, breakage or accident to machinery or lines of pipe,
line freeze-ups, or similar causes.
Shipper is placed on notice that Transporter may recognize storage gas
losses for rate and accounting purposes. Such losses shall be valued at the
current replacement cost of gas. After accounting recognition of any such
loss, Transporter shall record and maintain a regulatory asset
account which shall be maintained until Transporter's next general rate change
filing under Section 4 of this Natural Gas Act. In any of Transporter's
general rate change filings, Transporter may propose to amortize storage gas
losses through its base rates. This provision shall apply to storage gas
losses incurred but unamortized as of the date upon which this provision
becomes effective, and to those incurred after that date.
