Transporter will comply with all GISB standards including,

but not limited to, the following:

Principle 1.1.4: Transporter will not require pre-nominations.

Principle 1.1.7: Transporter will neither require nor support

the use of activity codes.

Principle 1.1.8: Transporter and Customers shall use common

codes for location points and legal entities in all

communications.

Standard 1.3.27: The key should be composed of: service

requester (Service Agreement), transaction type, upstream party,

upstream contract (when applicable), receipt location (as

applicable), downstream party, (as applicable) downstream

contract (when applicable), delivery location (as applicable),

package ID, capacity type indicator (where mutually agreed),

service provider activity code (where mutually agreed). Upon

receipt by a service provider from service requester of a

transaction whose key elements match those previously received by

the service provider from the service requester, the service

provider should then process the begin date/time and end

date/time consistent with the intentions of the standard 1.3.7

and then process the rest of transaction's data elements

consistent with the applicable standards to determine the

business results. When data is not supplied (e.g. is not

applicable, is not supported or is not mutually agreed upon) the

pertinent portion of the key would be determined to be null.

Standard 1.3.28: For current in-kind fuel reimbursement

procedures, fuel rates should be made effective only at the

beginning of the month.

Principle 2.3.2: Two welded parties should agree on who submits a

predetermined allocation methodology and who allocates at the

point before gas flows.

Principle 4.1.1: The technology model and principles should be

followed in implementing GISB's business standards

electronically. The following schematic describes the EDM

technology model that should exist post 4/1/97, that as agreed

upon in the following standard is subject to validation:

4.3.1 By 4/1/97, all parties sending and receiving

data should accept a TCP/IP using PPP connection. At a

minimum, sending and receiving parties should designate

an internet address as a designated site for the

receipt and delivery of GISB standardized data sets

subject to the successful completion of pilot testing

by 1/1/97 to ensure that security, performance (within

GISB standard data transmission time), and reliability

are acceptable. The GISB data file format should be

utilized. The Future Technology Task Force should

determine the direction of outstanding issues such as

security, archiving, receipt notification, etc., by

7/1/96.
