INSTRUCTIONS:

Bill Computations

Amounts entered in the shaded areas under "Billed" should reflect how much a customer using those number of therms would

be billed. Bills are to include all charges and should reflect the actual monthly bills that customers receive. Bill computations 

should encompass all sales and revenue-related taxes, all fees and regulatory assessments, all special charges and 

surcharges, as well as the normal cost of gas and cost of service components. If necessary, a weighted average or an 

estimate of the weighted average tax rate(s) should be used. Any and all charges that are added to the customer's bill 

should be included in the calculation. If charges may vary within a jurisdiction and rate class, please enter the amount

that would apply to most of your customers.

Commodity cost of gas

Please put in cell B22 your estimate for the percentage of the 100 residential therm bill (cell B16) that is attributable to the

commodity cost of gas. That percentage should reflect delivered cost to the citygate.

Bills are to be calculated at a point in time rather than averaged over the quarter. The last day of the quarter will be 

used. The bill amounts should reflect the rates, fees, charges and taxes that are in effect on the final day of each quarter.

Please note that this worksheet will be read by an Access program for data input. Therefore, please do not alter this form.

Footnotes and Commentary

The footnotes section for the report will be used to flag any and all comments that survey participants wish to have included 

in the report. Of particular importance are the taxes and other governmental charges and assessments.

Question of the Quarter

This inquiry will change from quarter to quarter, and will address issues identified by members as important. Summaries of the

responses will be provided in a follow-up e-mail, and not in the Bill Comparison Report tables. The responses to this question 

may be shared with non-participants as part of AGA's advocacy efforts.

On a weather-normalized basis, how did your estimated residential throughput this past winter (roughly October 

2013 – March 2014) compare to the meter reads?

Individual responses will be kept confidential, but the anonymous summary report of aggregated responses developed from this 

information will be available for benchmarking, education, advocacy etc.

Note: Responders should review the AGA Antitrust Guidelines ( http://www.aga.org/antitrust ) prior to any response or discussions and no information 

shall be disseminated or discussed that violates those guidelines. To steer clear of trouble, do not exchange company‐specific, competitively sensitive 

information, e.g., prices, costs, terms and conditions of sale, capacity, business strategies or future plans. Survey participants should not make 

disparaging comments and generally not make recommendations for or against any of the products or services of particular manufacturers or service 

providers. If any questions arise, contact your company's lawyer or AGA's General Counsel's Office at: 202/824‐7072 or GCO@aga.org.
