(a)
				In an application for approval of an unbundling plan, the utility shall
				identify in detail the following:

				which have been or can be used in the provision of natural gas services of gas
				supply, gathering, transmission or storage upstream of the citygate or proposed

				of such facilities identified in paragraph (1) of this Subsection.
(3) Each Oklahoma geographic area in which
				the utility or an affiliate has provided or can provide the services of gas
				supply, gathering, transmission or storage upstream of the citygate,
(4) The proposed citygates or other delivery
				points for which the aforementioned services will be competitively bid. There
				will be a designated citygate for every city and municipality regardless of the
				recommended aggregation point. Such designation does not mean actual
				installation, unless ordered by the Commission.
(5) All natural gas service agreements which
				may have sole supplier and full requirements provisions or other provisions
				which may have the effect of restricting competition.
(6) A schedule for competitive bidding for
				each citygate or proposed aggregation point.
(7) Actual or estimated volumes of natural
				gas supply delivered to each citygate and proposed aggregation point for the
				utility's distribution service over each of the thirty-six (36) months
				preceding the date of application and an estimate for each of the subsequent
				twelve (12) months.
(8) The actual
				or reasonable estimate of the peak volume requirements by month of each
				citygate and/or proposed aggregation point.
(9) The actual or reasonable estimate of the
				maximum daily and hourly demand for each citygate and proposed aggregation
				point during the year.
(10)
				Separate proposed tariffs reflecting all of the natural gas services upstream
				of the citygate and/or proposed aggregation point including gas supply,
				gathering, transmission and storage, which the utility proposes to make
				available for competitive bidding and which the utility will make available.
				Full documentation together with disaggregated cost of service studies
				identifying the system wide cost by consumer class or subgroup of each of the
				services and the allocation of those costs to each citygate or proposed
				aggregation point, together with all workpapers supporting such studies, shall
				be included with the proposed tariffs. In addition, an allocation of these
				system wide costs to each of the utility's citygates and proposed aggregation
				points shall be included, together with the methodology for making such
				allocation and workpapers supporting such allocation. The proposed tariff shall
				also contain the terms and conditions associated with each such service and,
				with the exception of gas supply, the rate to be charged for each such service
				based upon the supporting disaggregated cost of service study.
(11) Standard form requests for competitive
				bidders for gas supply, gathering, transmission and storage upstream of the
				citygate or proposed aggregation point.
(12) A detailed, itemized estimate to the
				extent known of the utility's total prudent and verifiable stranded and
				transition costs together with all workpapers supporting such estimate and the
				competitive market and any other assumptions underlying such estimate(s).
