assignment rights, renewal rights, segmentation, priority of service, etc.

• Ensures customers receive uniform service

• Market participants know what they are purchasing

• Discrimination can be identified

Answers to Board Staff Question #6

• ANRPL and GLGT open seasons are consistent with the criteria set forth on the Board’s Appendix A

• Under the FERC approach, the requirement is to allocate capacity (both transportation and storage) in a not unduly discriminatory manner (open access).

Open seasons are widely accepted as one method to fulfill this requirement.

Selling capacity on a first-come first-served basis may also provide open access.

• Check and balance in complaint procedures and reporting requirements

Answers to Board Staff Questions #8-14

8-12. Standard service contracts are an effective way to ensure open access for similarly situated shippers for both transportation and storage. Appropriate reporting requirements, including an Index of Customers and transactional reporting, and filing of non-conforming agreements, ensures the transparency that is required for market participants to identify abuses.

13-14. Rules should apply to all market participants with the ability for the regulator to waive or suspend requirements for small operators or in situations it deems appropriate.

NAESB Standards represent a large body of work already completed by industry participants, and reliance on these standards is a reasonable starting point
