3. Opening Comment In designing the form, defining the fields in the data dictionary and writing the instructions, our goal was to produce a package that was generally applicable to the entire industry of 311/Hinshaw companies.

4. Opening Comment – cont’d The Data Dictionary, the Instructions and Orders may initially describe our most preferred form of certain of the requested data, followed an acknowledgement that if you don’t have the data in this form, then input the data in the manner in which you maintain the data. This is true for receipt and delivery point names and IDs as well as shipper number and contract numbers.

5. Opening Comment – cont’d Field No. 27 – rate schedule designation. NGA companies (excl. Hinshaw) must have tariffs that conform to section 154.103. The 311/ Hinshaw companies need only comply with section 284.123(e). For Form 549D – just identify the shipper’s rate schedule from your “statement of rates.”

14. Sample Form 549D Service Data – (Fields Nos. 26-32a) Recall earlier comment – FERC doesn’t control the SOC in the same manner as NGA tariffs. Provide enough detail about the service and rate schedule so that one can reasonable identify the rate from the “statement of rates” in SOC. Field No. 28 refers to the docket in which you requested the rates you are currently charging customers. If there was a rate change list both dockets.
