Federal funds or (ii) a letter of credit, irrevocable for

ninety (90) days, from a financial institution acceptable to

Shippers qualifying for service under this Section 31.2(c)

Terms and Conditions) occurring during the twelve (12) month

period preceding the date service is requested times the

quantity of advanced gas requested. For Shippers requesting

service under other rate schedules, the Specified Amount shall

be the amount projected to become payable to Transporter based

on the Shipper's nominated deliveries for the month.

31.3 (a) Upon Transporter's determination that Shipper's request for

Conditions, Transporter will evaluate its ability to satisfy

complete requests for transportation in their order of entry
