I agree with Lynn's comments with one exception. My understanding is that P=
GAS was to be simply a vehicle to provide the end user volumes to Gas Logis= tics, in addition to the TBS volumes, as is current practice. We want to pu= rsue having these volumes supplied to Measurement via email so that they c= an be imported electronically. Again, these are not OMVs in the traditiona= l sense, since custody transfer has occurred on the TBS volumes. There is c= urrently no mechanism in place to compare the TBS volumes to the end user v= olumes other than manually. Additionally, due to the time of the month that= these numbers are received, I'm not sure that there is sufficient time to = argue the accuracy of the numbers . Currently, paragraph 4. of the End User= agreement states "The Shipper's transportation agreement will be billed on= the actual measured takes at the End User's POI." It does not address any = differences between the TBS volumes, positive or negative, other than Shipp= er is responsible for any imbalances resulting from the measured volumes at= the End User POI. There are no provisions to challenge the accuracy of the= numbers being supplied. Lynn is probably right that we will need some add= itional discussions on this.

Cc:=09Dornan, Dari; Floyd, Jodie; Zadow, Raetta; Stern, Ellis Subject:=09RE: End-user Agreement Processes =09I would like to recap my understanding and the "To Do's" from the meetin= g yesterday. =20 =09=091. After November 1, Measurement would NO longer adjust any TBS phys= ical =09 volumes unless there was a PPA directly influencing sai= d TBS. =09=092. Measurement would check to see if they had a deduct meter they w= ere =09 using in the end user process. (Since the meeting we ha= ve discovered that =09 =09 the deduct meter IS in GVA, therefore no checking needs to be d= one). =09=093. Gas Logistics would check with IT on possible enhancement (if nec= essary) for =09=09 negative volumes to the TBS. (We have talked with IT and this w= ould be =09=09 a major enhancement and have to be done with the new system). =09=094. Procedures need to be documented to handle negative numbers creat= ed by =09=09 the LDC giving measurement an end user actual volume greater tha= n the=20 =09=09 TBS connected to NNG. =09=095. Measurement and Gas Logistics agreed that all measured volumes in= cluding =09=09 End User point volumes would be "housed' in PGAS. =09After further discussions in Gas Logistics, our recommendation is that n= either Measurement or Gas Logistics accomodate a =09negative number. If the LDC gives measurement an end user volume greate= r than the TBS the following should happen: =09=091. Measurement should either: =09=09=09a. Call the LDC and let them know they cannot accept a volume at = an end =09=09=09 user point higher than their TBS. =09=09=09b. Or Measurement can call Jodie Floyd on the Gas Logistics Measu= rement Desk =09=09=09 and Jodie will call LDC with the same info. =09=092. If Measurement does not get an answer before measurement close, t= hen measurement will =09=09 use the number equal to the TBS for the end user point. =09Gary and Ellis, you may want to have more discussions on this topic. I = would be glad to regroup if you want. =09I have put a call into Marketing to talk to them about our concerns on t= his issue. Also Raetta and Jodie are =09 going to go ahead and call Wisconsin Gas and get their explanation of w= hy an end user point would be =09greater than the TBS. Hopefully it is just a measurement error. We wil= l let you know the outcome. =09If there is something I missed, please let me know. Thanks.

Cc:=09Dornan, Dari Subject:=09End-user Agreement Processes =09Just wanted to follow-up. Are we still O.K. with the decisions made in = the meeting the other day regarding the handling of end-user transactions? = Have we run into any additional obstacles? Do you need me to do anything = to assist in the process? If something does change, would you please let m= e know. Thanks MW
