(Continued)
1. DEFINITIONS (Continued)
1.42 "Service Agreement": The agreement between Buyer and Operator for service provided
under a Rate Schedule in this Tariff.
1.43 "Withdrawal Season": The period beginning December 15 of any calendar year and
extending through the succeeding April 15.
2. ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD
(a) In General. Operator shall operate and make available to Buyers and other third
parties, as set forth below, an electronic communications system ("Electronic
Bulletin Board" or "EBB") which will comply with the electronic communication
standards set forth in Section 284.10 of the Commission's Regulations. All Buyers of
service under any of Operator's Rate Schedules shall have the capability to make use
of Operator's EBB as required by this Tariff. Operator shall make the EBB available
on a nondiscriminatory basis to any party with compatible electronic equipment. All
Buyers and parties making use of Operator's EBB shall be bound by and comply with the
procedures governing its use as established by Operator from time to time.
(b) Operation. The EBB will provide, among other things, (i) a search function for
locating information relating to specific transactions, and (ii) a menu that will
enable parties to separately access notices of available capacity, records of each
transaction entered in the applicable log, and standards of conduct. Operator will
permit parties to download files from the EBB system so the contents can be reviewed
in detail without tying up access to the system. Operator will create and maintain
archived back-up records of the information displayed on the EBB for no less than
three years, and will permit parties reasonable access to those records. Operator
will, however, periodically purge from current files archived information regarding
completed transactions. Information that has been purged from the EBB system will be
archived and will, for at least three (3) years, be available in hard copy for
inspection by appointment during regular business hours at Operator's principal place
of business.
(c) Communications. The EBB shall be used to communicate Buyer's initial and revised
Natural Gas nominations, confirmations of Buyer's nominations, and other data or
notices required by this Tariff. After notice by Operator, the following types of
communication may be permitted: notices not currently required to be given through
the EBB, service agreements and amendments, and such other communications as the
parties may agree in writing. Where electronic communications are required by this
Tariff, Operator may waive the requirements and accept such communications in another
acceptable format on a nondiscriminatory basis.
