period of firm intrastate service curtailment, standby procurement service shall be made
available to core transportation customers. During such a curtailment period, however, core
transportation customers using standby procurement in excess of the 10% tolerance band
described in Schedule No. G-IMB shall pay the curtailment violation penalty described
herein.

(8) All Priority 2A service on a pro rata basis.
(9) All Priority 1 non-residential service on a pro rata basis.
(10) All Priority I residential service on a pro rata basis.
2. Curtailment of Firm Intrastate Service
Firm intrastate service curtailment shall be effectuated by customer rotation. For determining the
order of such curtailment, customers shall be separated into two firm service curtailment lists. The
first list shall be for UEG and cogeneration customers and the second list shall be for all other firm
service customers. Each curtailment list shall be ordered by individual customer as described in
Section C.1. The order of customers for the two lists shall be established by lottery or other non-
discriminatory means prior to the implementation date of the CPUC's Capacity Brokering Rules.
The customer distribution for the two lists shall be maintained for the ten-year period beginning on
the date of such implementation. During the ten-year period, new customers to firm service shall be
randomly assigned a position on the appropriate list.
Once the order of the customers is established for each firm service curtailment list, the Utility shall
aggregate customers with peak -day usage under 20 MMcfd into "blocks" of approximately 20
MMcfd, to the extent possible. Such aggregation shall be accomplished in the order of the listed
customers for each list. Customers with peak -day usage of 20 MMcfd or more shall remain
separately listed and shall be considered as one curtailment block. In the event firm service
customers are added or deleted from the curtailment lists over the ten-year period, the Utility shall
adjust the aggregation of the customer blocks as necessary.

CONTINUITY OF SERVICE AND INTERRUPTION OF DELIVERY

C. Curtailment of Service (continued)
2. Curtailment of Firm Intrastate Service (continued)
In the event of a firm service curtailment, the Utility shall curtail, in unison, that number of
customer blocks necessary to provide for a sufficient level of curtailment. The customer blocks
curtailed shall be established by (1) selecting the first customer block from one firm service list, (2)
then selecting the first customer block from the other firm service list, and (3) continuing such
alternating selections down the two lists until that level of curtailment is reached that is
operationally necessary. At the conclusion of the curtailment of the initially curtailed customer
blocks, additional customer blocks shall be curtailed, if necessary, using the same alternating
method beginning with the customer block immediately following the last block selected. Once all
customers on a particular firm service list have been selected for curtailment, the alternating
rotation process for such list shall continue at the beginning of the list.
In the event the curtailment of the last customer block selected would result in exceeding the level of
curtailment operationally necessary, then the customers within that block shall be selected for
curtailment based on the customer order within the block. Those customers not selected shall be
treated as a separate block in succeeding curtailment rotations. If the curtailment of an individual
customer would result in exceeding the level of curtailment necessary, then such customer shall be
curtailed only to the level of curtailment which is necessary. Such partial curtailment shall still
constitute an interruption for the purposes of the Service Interruption Credit.
For the UEG and cogeneration customer firm service list, UEG customers shall be listed before
cogeneration customers. For each curtailment episode, UEG customers must be curtailed at least
once using the alternating rotation process described above before beginning the curtailment order
of cogeneration customers.
3. Transfers of Intrastate Curtailment
Firm and interruptible intrastate customers may make arrangements among themselves to transfer
curtailment requirements in the event the Utility curtails service. Through such arrangements,
responsibility for the curtailment imposed by the Utility shall be transferred from the original
customer to be curtailed ('original curtailment assignee") to another customer or group of
customers ("curtailment transferee") who would not otherwise be curtailed. All of the customers
involved in the curtailment transfer must execute and provide to the Utility a Notice of Intrastate
Curtailment Transfer (Form No. 6600).

3. Transfers of Intrastate Curtailment (continued)
In the event the Utility provides curtailment notification to the original curtailment assignee less
than 48 hours prior to initiation of the curtailment of such customer, the Utility must receive the
Notice of Intrastate Curtailment Transfer, executed by all customers involved in the transfer
arrangement, within 24 hours of the Utility's notification to the original curtailment assignee. In the
event the Utility provides more than 72 hours notice to the original curtailment assignee, the Utility
must receive the Transfer Notice, signed by all involved customers, no later than 48 hours prior to
the scheduled initiation of curtailment of the original curtailment assignee. If the curtailment
transferee does not comply with the curtailment, the original curtailment assignee shall be held
entirely responsible for the requirement to curtail and any resulting penalties and charges that would
be incurred as a result of such responsibility.
In the event the original curtailment assignee pays a transportation rate which is less than the
applicable tariff rate, such customer shall be required to pay the higher of the original curtailment
assignee's transportation rate or the curtailment transferee's transportation rate.
The Service Interruption Credit (SIC) shall not apply to curtailed or diverted quantities transferred
among customers and the original curtailment assignee shall be considered as having been curtailed
for the purposes of the firm intrastate curtailment rotation list described in Section C.2 herein.
For the purpose of facilitating transfers of intrastate curtailment, as described in Section C.3, the
Utility shall maintain a curtailment list by customer facility, as defined in Rule No. 1, for
interruptible and firm intrastate service with the exception that for UEG customers, the curtailment
order shall be listed by all service for an individual UEG customer for a particular level of service
(firm or interruptible) and by percentage of default for interruptible service. The Utility shall make
the curtailment list available to firm and interruptible end -use customers upon request.
4. Operating Emergency Declared By A Customer
In the event of an operating emergency as declared by a customer at the customer's facility, service
may be made available out of the normal curtailment pattern order, if in the judgment of the Utility
it is possible to do so. Out -of -pattern deliveries will be provided to critical customers, as defined in
Rule No. 1, whenever they declare an operating emergency. In such an event, subsequent out -of -
pattern curtailment may be imposed on the customer in order to balance the amount of curtailment
with other customers at the same level on the curtailment order.

Noncore transportation service for customer -owned, California -produced gas, excluding exchange

transmission service. Noncore transportation service for customer -owned, California -produced gas
under exchange agreements or at less than full tariff rates shall be treated hereunder as interruptible
intrastate service.
6. Restoration of Service
When curtailment of service is to be decreased, restoration of service shall be made (a) in the same
manner as described in Section C.1, but inversely to the order given, and (b) to the level of service
which in the judgment of the Utility can be provided. However, the Utility reserves the right to
restore firm intrastate service in such order as it deems necessary irrespective of the curtailment
rotation list described in Section C.2 herein.
D. Diversions of Customer -Owned Gas
In the event insufficient gas supply or capacity is available for the Utility to meet the requirements of
its customers, the Utility may effectuate involuntary and/or voluntary diversions of customer -owned
gas originally intended for the Utility's noncore customers. Such diversions shall be of the following
type:
(1) Voluntary Diversion Agreements
(2) Voluntary Core Protection Purchase Agreements
(3) Involuntary Diversions
1. Voluntary Diversion Agreements
In order to avoid or mitigate curtailment, the Utility may mutually agree with firm and/or
interruptible intrastate transmission customers to purchase their flowing gas deliveries. The price
paid by Utility for such diverted gas shall not exceed the price paid for gas that is involuntarily

In the event of such a voluntary diversion, the customer may make arrangements with another

2. Voluntary Core Purchase Protection Agreements
The Utility may also enter into Voluntary Core Protection Purchase Agreements (VCPPAs) with
firm and interruptible intrastate transmission customers as a source of supply for the Utility's core
requirements.
The price paid by the Utility for such VCPPA deliveries shall be determined through negotiation
with such customers and shall be subject to a ceiling price of 150% of the core subscription
procurement charge in effect during the period of diversion.
The Utility shall divert customer -owned gas through VCPPAs on a least -cost basis, with least
expensive supplies being purchased first, to the extent operationally feasible.
As part of a VCPPA, the Utility and the customer may agree to allow the customer to arrange a
transfer of the responsibility for the diversion. In such event, the VCPPA shall specify the
conditions under which such a transfer would be allowed by the Utility.
3. Involuntary Diversions
To the extent that VCPPA, discussed above, are inadequate for the protection of core service, the
Utility shall be authorized to involuntarily divert gas supplies from firm noncore transmission
customers.
The Utility shall notify the CPUC within one business day in the event of any involuntary diversion
of customer gas.
An involuntary diversion of customer -owned gas shall occur as a result of the Utility's curtailment
of the customer's service as described in Section C.
In the event customer -owned gas is involuntarily diverted as a consequence of curtailment, the
Utility will reimburse the customer at the higher of-
(1)the customer's cost of alternative fuel or replacement energy used during the diversion plus
associated transportation costs actually incurred by the customer;
(2)the customer's actual cost of gas (price as delivered to SoCalGas' intrastate system) diverted by
Utility; or
(3)150% of the Utility's core subscription procurement charge during the month in which the gas
was diverted.

The Utility shall have the right to audit the customer's alternate fuel or replacement energy cost, or
the customer's actual cost of gas. In the event of disagreement, these costs shall be determined by
binding third party arbitration.
E. Curtailment Due to Emergency Conditions
At a time when there is a threatened or actual shortage creating an emergency condition for a short
duration in the Utility's ability to meet the demands of Priority 1 and 2A customers, the Utility may,
during such emergency period, curtail and/or divert service of all customers, or a portion of such
customers, in the most reasonable and practicable manner possible. Further, in such event, the Utility
shall have the right to shut off, discontinue, re-establish, or continue service for all customers or a
portion of such customers, irrespective of the priority or preference provisions set forth herein or in the
tariff schedules, contracts, or rules and regulations applicable to such service. In such emergency
situations, curtailments shall generally be made based on the customer's level of demand and transfers
of curtailment responsibility, as provided for in Section C.3 herein, shall not be allowed.
The Utility may also, during any national crisis, give preference, as between all customers, to facilities
directly engaged in the production of food supplies and the production of national government
requirements, when the discontinuance of service to such customers would stop, or materially diminish,
the output of said plants.
F. Localized Curtailment
Curtailments may be effected in certain localized areas due to intrastate system capacity restrictions or
emergencies. In such cases, curtailments will generally be made based on the order established herein
to the extent it is operationally feasible to do so. In the event of a localized curtailment, customers in
unconstrained areas may receive service while other customers of equal or higher priority are curtailed.
G. System Maintenance and Repair
The Utility, whenever it finds necessary for the purpose of making repairs or improvements to its
system, will have the right to suspend temporarily the delivery of gas, but, in all such cases, as
reasonable notice thereof as circumstances will permit will be given to customers, and the making of
such repairs or improvements will be prosecuted as rapidly as may be practicable, and, if practicable,
at such times as will cause the least inconvenience to the customers.

In the event such interruption of service affects more than one customer, interruption of service shall
be made in the order established herein only to the extent it is operationally feasible to do so. Special
conditions which apply to scheduled maintenance for firm intrastate service are set forth in Section L
herein.
H. Utility Electric Generation Service
The Utility shall accommodate, subject to the capability of its existing physical facilities and the
requirements of higher priority customers, requests by its retail and wholesale customers for
reallocation of deliveries for use in electric generating plants deviating from the normal pattern of
deliveries by the Utility (a) of an emergency nature to avoid actual electric load curtailment, and/or (b)
based on requirements to minimize particularly adverse air pollution impacts expected to be of short
duration. Such deviations in deliveries must be approved by the Utility and shall be in accordance with
the agreements between the Utility's retail and wholesale customers relating to such reallocations and
providing for compensation between such customers. In no event, however, will the Utility's total
deliveries for electric generation requirements imposed on the Utility exceed in the aggregate the
deliveries which would have been scheduled absent the reallocation agreements between Utility's
customers. Customers requesting the Utility to redirect deliveries hereunder shall notify the CPUC
promptly after each occurrence of the problem occasioning such request.
I. Wholesale Service Excluding SDG&E
Wholesale customers, excluding SDG&E, will receive Priority I and 2A service from the Utility in
proportion to such customers' Priority I and 2A loads. Service to wholesale customers' loads shall be
curtailed in the same manner as that for the Utility's retail customers. Wholesale customers may,
however, negotiate with the Utility regarding the timing and extent of curtailments for their noncore
loads with the condition that such loads shall be subject to curtailments which are proportionate to the
curtailment of the Utility's noncore customers.
J. Wholesale Service to SDG&E
The Utility and SDG&E shall operate as independent gas systems to the extent operationally feasible.
The Utility shall curtail its noncore customers only to the extent necessary to maintain service to its
own core customers. Likewise, SDG&E shall curtail service to its noncore customers only to the
extent necessary to maintain service to its own core customers. Neither the Utility nor SDG&E shall
curtail its noncore customers to serve the core requirements of the other except as expressly provided
by a mutual assistance agreement between the two utilities.

K. Curtailment Violations
The Utility shall read the meter of the curtailed customer at the beginning and end of each curtailment
period for the applicable service curtailed. For other than a customer operating emergency as set forth
in Section C.6, customers failing to curtail on request will be assessed a penalty of $1.00 per therm for
the initial 5 hours of the Customer's operating day, $3.00 per therm for hours 6 through 8, and $10.00
per therm for hours 9 through the end of the curtailment episode. The penalty applies to all gas
quantities determined by the Utility to be in violation of curtailment. All other charges associated with
such usage will apply. Any customer failing to curtail after 48 hours will be immediately reassigned to
a core rate schedule for a minimum period of one year. Curtailment violations will be determined as
follows:
1. System Curtailment
For curtailment of interruptible or firm intrastate service, customers whose consumption under their
applicable service schedule exceeds their authorized curtailment quantity during the curtailment of
such service will be in violation of curtailment.
For curtailment of standby procurement service under Schedule No. G-IMB, customers whose
consumption under such schedule exceeds their actual transportation deliveries plus the ten percent
(10%) tolerance band will be in violation of curtailment. The Utility shall assess negative
imbalances incurred during the standby curtailment period separately from monthly imbalances
incurred outside such period. Negative imbalances determined to be in violation of curtailment
shall not be eligible for imbalance trading. Such negative imbalances will be charged at the
applicable standby procurement rate in addition to the curtailment violation penalty.
2. Localized Curtailment
For curtailment of interruptible or firm intrastate service, customers whose consumption under their
applicable service schedule exceeds their authorized curtailment quantity during the curtailment
period for such service will be in violation of curtailment. Standby procurement service shall not be
curtailed during a localized curtailment.
3. Authorized Curtailment Quantity
The authorized curtailment quantity used to determine a customer's compliance with curtailment
shall be established on the basis of the monthly contract billing quantities set forth in the customer's
Master Services Contract, Schedule A, Intrastate Transmission Service (Form Nos. 6597 and 6597-
1).

3. Authorized Curtailment Quantity (continued)
The customer's total authorized. curtailment quantity for the applicable period of curtailment shall
be equal to the sum of the authorized curtailment quantities for each of the customer's services
which are not subject to curtailment during such period. For each such service, the authorized
curtailment quantity shall be equal to the monthly contract quantity divided by the customer's actual
number of operating days for such service during the month in which the curtailment occurs,
multiplied by the customer's actual number of operating days during the curtailment period.
The customer's actual operating days for the month shall be determined based on the operating -day
information set forth in the customer's contract. For service designated as operating seven days per
week, the operating days shall be all calendar days in the month. For service designated as less than
seven operating days per week, the operating days shall be all designated days in the month
excluding national holidays. Customers with non -uniform operating schedules for any particular
month shall be required to designate in the contract the actual operating -day schedule for such
months. The customer may request a change to the operating schedule on a month -to -month basis.
All operating schedules shall be subject to the Utility's acceptance and the Utility may adjust such
schedules as it deems necessary based on the customer's operations.
L. Service Interruption Credit
A qualifying service interruption of firm intrastate transmission service is defined as any curtailment
which is not (1) the result of either force majeure or scheduled maintenance, as described below, or (2)
a curtailment of Standby Procurement service. If a firm intrastate transmission customer (including
core subscription service) experiences more than one qualifying interruption during the ten-year period
beginning on the implementation date of the CPUC's Capacity Brokering Rules, the Utility shall
provide such customer with a Service Interruption Credit (SIC) of $0.25 per therm of gas curtailed or
diverted.
For the customer's first qualifying interruption during the ten-year period, the SIC shall only apply to
.the volume of curtailed or diverted gas over and above 72 consecutive hours of full curtailment or the
volumetric equivalent thereof during a five day period. For subsequent qualifying interruptions during
this period, the SIC shall apply to all of the customer's curtailed or diverted volumes resulting from the
subsequent interruptions regardless of the duration or extent of the customer's initial interruption.

L. Service Interruption Credit (continued)
The maximum aggregate SIC obligation of the Utility in any calendar year shall be $5 million. To the
extent such maximum aggregate obligation would be exceeded, the Utility shall provide the SIC on a
pro rata basis to all applicable customers for the calendar year. Utility shall make payment of the SIC
at the end of the applicable calendar year.
1. Force Majeure
For the purpose of SIC applicability, force majeure shall be defined as the occurrence of unforeseen
events or conditions, not resulting from a negligent act or omission on the part of the Utility, that
are beyond its reasonable control and that could not have been prevented by the exercise of due
diligence on its part. The Utility shall use all reasonable efforts to remedy such events or conditions
and to remove the cause of same in an adequate manner and with reasonable dispatch. The
occurrence of high demand for gas service due to weather conditions shall not constitute a force
majeure event.
2. Scheduled Maintenance
For the purpose of SIC applicability, scheduled maintenance shall be considered the interruption of
transmission service to the customer resulting from maintenance of the Utility's facilities which are
directly relevant to providing such service to the customer's facilities when the customer has been
given at least thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice of the scheduled date of the maintenance
and service interruption.
The Utility shall take all reasonable steps to minimize the duration of such scheduled maintenance
interruptions and to reroute the flow of natural gas to eliminate any service interruptions that would
otherwise occur due to such maintenance.
The Utility shall consult with the customer in scheduling any such maintenance interruptions and
shall use reasonable efforts to schedule such maintenance to accommodate the customer's operating
needs and to continue same only for such time as is necessary, including any agreed upon
adjustments to the scheduled date for maintenance as reasonably necessary in light of unforeseen
occurrences affecting the customer and/or the Utility.
M.Performance of Aggregators
To assure that firm interstate nominations and deliveries into SoCalGas' transmission and distribution
system by aggregators are equivalent in reliability to those made by SoCalGas for core procurement
customers, SoCalGas may implement an Operational Flow Order (OFO) as described in Rule No. 32,
