6. 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 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 base gas. For purposes of this Section 6, 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 rules and peoples, civil disturbances, explosions, breakage or
accident to machinery or line 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 by unamortized as of the date upon which
this provision becomes effective, and to those incurred after that
date.
