Firm shippers would continue to have priority over SBA shippers. Since Gerry's group implemented the changes, we have not been in a situation where a SBA was called to come in (or go out) at an allocated point. Gerry's system requirements as to how the system would operate under these conditions would be the support you need to verify that Firm shippers have priority over SBAs. Gerry, would you forward Michelle a copy of the System Requirement? Thanks.

TMS data is only maintained, without extraordinary measures, for 6 months. It is my recollection that there may have been an allocation at a point where SBA gas was scheduled and when that occurred the standard allocation procedures were enforced. I think once we asked the shipper to move the SBA activity to another point, but that was pre GISB. Unfortunately, because of the how the SBA's work, the pack, draft and peak points are negotiated in advance which limits the points to use. Also, the 28-30 hr lead time required for notification means that we have to anticipate what system conditions will become and therein use SBAs to improve system conditions. Sometimes we miss the mark, either cold weather does not materialize or moves in late or shipper activity increases and in hindsight, an SBA was not necessary. Reyna may have some additional insight in more recent SBA activities. -----Original Message----- From: Medeles, Gerry Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 2:31 PM To: Winckowski, Michele; Bodnar, Michael; Blair, Lynn Cc: Cabrera, Reyna Subject: RE: SBA Contracts I am not sure I understand the question. Do you mean at anytime we call on SBA volumes, we never/should not allocate the location? -----Original Message----- From: Winckowski, Michele Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 1:32 PM To: Bodnar, Michael; Blair, Lynn Cc: Cabrera, Reyna; Medeles, Gerry Subject: RE: SBA Contracts I guess the question is - have we ever actually reviewed when we call on the SBA volumes and what the system conditions have been during those periods. We want to verify that we are not allocating a point when we have SBA gas flowing. Theatrically, we argue that we would not call on SBAs if the gas was not needed to meet system requirements. We' want to verify that the theory and the actual match up. I hope this makes sense.

The changes in the business requirements for the scheduling priority of SBA contracts will not impact NNG's primary firm shippers. What do you need to verify and support this fact? -----Original Message----- From: Winckowski, Michele Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 2:53 PM To: Blair, Lynn; Bodnar, Michael Subject: SBA Contracts Contract Shippers Contract Date 107018 Tenaska Marketing Ventures Nov 1 2000 107019 Texaco Gas Marketing Nov 1 2000 107021 OGE Energy Resources Nov 1 2000 107989 Tenaska Marketing Jun 1 2001 108021 Arkla Energy Marketing Co.
