Hi Gang. Transco has a shipper meeting next week in the afternoon. I will
probably be out all week. I believe Scott Goodell and Beverly should go and take anyone else that would like to attend. ---------------------- Forwarded by Chris Germany/HOU/ECT on 07/24/2000 08:05 AM --------------------------- "CustomerNotices, WGPHOU" <WGPHOU.CustomerNotices@Williams.com< on 07/21/2000 02:03:48 PM To: "Alatorre, Hector" <Hector.X.Alatorre@Williams.com<, "Ambler, Margie" <Margie.A.Ambler@Williams.com<, "Avioli, James" <James.P.Avioli@Williams.com<, "Blodgett, Kerry" <Kerry.D.Blodgett@Williams.com<, "Bowman, Terri" <Terri.K.Bowman@Williams.com<, "Buhrke, Cathy" <Cathy.L.Buhrke@Williams.com<, "Casey, Melissa" <Melissa.K.Casey@Williams.com<, "Catlett, Laurie" <Laurie.E.Catlett@Williams.com<, "Conley, Allan" <Allan.A.Conley@Williams.com<, "Cordray, Stan" <Stan.L.Cordray@Williams.com<, "Cortez, Diama" <Diama.M.Cortez@Williams.com<, "Cox, Ann" <Ann.M.Cox@Williams.com<, "Doyle, Ronald" <Ronald.C.Doyle@Williams.com<, "Eaton, John" <John.W.Eaton@Williams.com<, "Fitch, Terry" <Terry.C.Fitch@Williams.com<, "Flores, Gloria" <Gloria.A.Flores@Williams.com<, "Gallerano, John" <John.Gallerano@Williams.com<, "Gensler, Quentin" <Quentin.G.Gensler@Williams.com<, "Hargrove, Nancy" <Nancy.X.Hargrove@Williams.com<, "Heiser, Suzanne" <Suzanne.J.Heiser@Williams.com<, "Helburg, Charles" <Charles.J.Helburg@Williams.com<, "Higginbotham, Keith" <Keith.A.Higginbotham@Williams.com<, "Immer, Ingrid" <Ingrid.Immer@Williams.com<, "Kelley, James" <James.A.Kelley@Williams.com<, "Kelley, Nancy" <Nancy.D.Kelley@Williams.com<, "King, Mable" <Mable.D.King@Williams.com<, "Kleiner, Margaret" <Margaret.E.Kleiner@Williams.com<, "Laird, Mary" <Mary.A.Laird@Williams.com<, "Laughlin, Helen" <Helen.M.Laughlin@Williams.com<, "Laurel, Liz" <Liz.X.Laurel@Williams.com<, "Lindloff, Monty" <Monty.R.Lindloff@Williams.com<, "Loggins, Kenneth" <Kenneth.E.Loggins@Williams.com<, "Lowrey, Roseanne" <Roseanne.A.Lowrey@Williams.com<, "McCauley, Laurie" <Laurie.L.McCauley@Williams.com<, "Mingen, Michele" <Michele.D.Mingen@Williams.com<, "Mott, Louella" <Loella.G.Mott@Williams.com<, "Nguyen, Michelle" <Michelle.M.Nguyen@Williams.com<, "Payne, Leon" <Leon.M.Payne@Williams.com<, "Prevott, Rose" <Rose.M.Prevott@Williams.com<, "Prodoehl, Paul" <Paul.J.Prodoehl@Williams.com<, "Ramos, J Linda" <J.Linda.Ramos@Williams.com<, "Ramos, Mary" <Mary.E.Ramos@Williams.com<, "Robertson, Constance" <Constance.A.Robertson@Williams.com<, "Rush, Russell" <Russell.H.Rush@Williams.com<, "Sansom, William" <William.P.Sansom@Williams.com<, "Schatzman, Rosemary" <Rosemary.W.Schatzman@Williams.com<, "Scott, Mark" <Mark.A.Scott@Williams.com<, "Shaull, Barbara" <Barbara.G.Shaull@Williams.com<, "Silvas, Elizabeth" <Elizabeth.V.Silvas@Williams.com<, "Smith, Elsie" <Elsie.F.Smith@Williams.com<, "Stevens, Paula" <Paula.S.Stevens@Williams.com<, "Swanson, Debbe" <Debbe.T.Swanson@Williams.com<, "Taormina, Victoria" <Victoria.L.Taormina@Williams.com<, "Taylor, Charles" <Charles.A.Taylor@Williams.com<, "Taylor, Janice" <Janice.M.Taylor@Williams.com<, "Thornton, Suzanne" <Suzanne.L.Thornton@Williams.com<, "Wahlstrom, Scottie" <Scottie.J.Wahlstrom@Williams.com<, "Walleck, Lynn" <Lynn.A.Walleck@Williams.com<, "Watson-Combre, Cassandra" <Cassandra.X.Watson-Combre@Williams.com< cc: Subject: Segmentation And Order 637 - Houston Meeting July 21, 2000 To: All Operators, Producers, Shippers and Customers on the Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line System (Transco) RE: Modifications to Capacity Release Processes and Segmentation and Order 637 Compliance filings On June 30, 2000 Transco made a compliance filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), in Docket No. RP00-17-000. This filing proposed several changes to the Capacity Release and capacity segmentation procedures that are to become effective for business beginning gas day September 1, 2000. A customer meeting will be held in Washington DC on August 1, 2000 at 10:00 a.m. (please see the Transit posting dated July 14, 2000) and in Houston on August 3, 2000 at the Williams Tower, Level 5, Dining Room C at 1:00 p.m. The Houston meeting will address both the segmentation changes and highlights of Transco's Order 637/637A Compliance filing, with segmentation being discussed from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. and the Order 637 discussed from 3 p.m. - 5 p.m. In order to finalize the appropriate arrangements for the meeting, Transco requests that you notify Liz Laurel at 713-215-2069 by Monday, July 31, 2000. There are two key elements to the proposed changes in Docket RP00-17-000: 1. Use of "Master" FT-R Commodity Contracts Transco will no longer use the "Master" Commodity Form of Service Agreement for reservation rate capacity releases. Historically, Transco has required capacity release shippers to execute two FT-R contracts upon their initial acquisition of released capacity: the FT-R Demand contract and the FT-R "Master" Commodity contract. With subsequent reservation rate releases, shippers were only required to execute new FT-R Demand contracts. Each FT-R Demand contract was specific to a capacity release deal and the FT-R "Master" Commodity contract was used for all nomination and commodity billing purposes. Effective with business for gas day September 1, 2000, Transco will require shippers acquiring capacity through reservation rate capacity releases to execute and nominate transportation on each new FT-R Demand contract. This will require new activities to be created for each capacity release contract. For any capacity release deals that span the August 31 - September 1 period, nominations for gas day August 31, 2000 will be on the existing "Master" Commodity contract and nominations for gas day September 1, 2000 will be new transactions on the FT-R Demand contract. Additionally, all commodity billing will be done on the FT-R Demand contract. Transco will send a "Notice of Termination" to all FT-R "Master" Commodity contract holders identifying the contract that will terminate as well as a list of all of the FT-R Demand contracts that will continue to be effective in September. 2. Limiting nominations within a segment Consistent with FERC's ruling in this docket and consistent with similar rulings on Tennessee and Texas Gas, Transco will limit the quantity of gas that can be scheduled IN ANY SEGMENT of the pipeline to the original firm contracted capacity. Transco will aggregate all nominations under an original FT contract and any related capacity release contracts (or subsequent re-releases) to ensure that the total scheduled quantity for the family of contracts is within the original contractual entitlement. If nominations for the family of contracts exceed the original entitlement, nominations using any secondary capacity rights will be considered as secondary nominations and subject to cut on a pro-rata basis. As stated above, Transco intends to implement these changes for gas day September 1, 2000. In the event systematic changes cannot be completed or the FERC directs Transco to modify its planned implementation, Transco will notify customers via TRANSIT of any business practice changes as well as the expected implementation timeline. If you have any questions concerning these changes, please contact your Customer Services Representative or Scheduling Analyst. - C.DTF
