accommodate the needs of its customers

in a manner not currently available

under its existing Tariff by providing

shippers greater flexibility in managing

their daily gas supply needs through the

use of FGT’s pipeline system.

FGT states that PNR service will allow

customers to park gas on FGT’s system

or ‘‘ride’’ (borrow) gas from FGT at

agreed-upon points. FGT proposes that

PNR service shall be for a minimum of

one day and shall have a maximum term

as mutually agreed to by FGT and the

shipper.

FGT states that PNR service is an

optional, interruptible service. FGT

states that the provision of PNR service

shall depend upon FGT having the

necessary operational flexibility to park

and/or ride gas quantities. FGT states

that PNR service shall have the lowest

priority in the scheduling process and

PNR service will be curtailed, if

necessary, prior to the curtailment of

any other service. Thus, FGT asserts,

PNR service will not adversely impact

the provision of other services on FGT’s

system.

FGT proposes to require shippers to

remove parked quantities or return

borrowed quantities of gas on a

minimum of one day’s notice if dictated

by operating conditions on its system. In

the event of a one-day notice period,

FGT states that it will provide affected

parties with actual notice by both

telephone and electronic means. For

notice periods extending beyond one

day, FGT states that it shall provide

notice to affected parties either by

telephone, facsimile, or electronic

means.

FGT states that the proposed rates for

PNR service under Rate Schedule PNR

are set forth on Original Sheet No.

8A.03. FGT states that the maximum

rate which FGT proposes to charge for

PNR service is equal to its effective

maximum rate for interruptible

transportation service under Rate

Schedule ITS–1. FGT states that the

minimum rate FGT proposes to charge

for PNR service is calculated using the

estimated incremental costs for

rendering this service.

FGT states that it anticipates offering

discounts appropriate to market

conditions.
