Reason for Filing
On June 7, 1996 in Docket No. RP96-272-000, Northern filed tariff sheets to give it the
ability to negotiate rates in accordance with the Commission’s Policy Statement on
Alternatives to Traditional Cost-of-Service Ratemaking for Natural Gas Pipelines, issued
January 31, 1996 in Docket No. RM95-6-000 (Policy Statement).1 The Commission
accepted the tariff sheets in an order issued July 5, 1996 (1996 Order). The reason for this
filing is to: 1) add a new negotiated rate agreement with Hess Corporation (Hess);
2) remove expired transactions with Frontier Ethanol, LLC (Frontier Ethanol), Flint Hills
Resources Fairbank, LLC (Flint Hills), Great River Energy (GRE), Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. (Pioneer), Tenaska Marketing Ventures (Tenaska), Freepoint
Commodities LLC (Freepoint) and ETC Marketing, Ltd. (ETC), from the Tariff; and 3)
to make other minor changes, as explained in more detail below.
New Transactions
Sheet No. 66B.01a provides the requisite information concerning the new negotiated rate
service agreement with Hess, including the legal name of the shipper, applicable Rate
Schedule, applicable receipt and delivery points, term of service, volume and a statement
affirming that the negotiated rate service agreement does not deviate in any material
aspect from the form of service agreement in Northern’s FERC Gas Tariff. Sheet
No. 66B.15 contains the negotiated rate provisions and other applicable charges for the
Hess agreement.
In addition, this negotiated rate transaction shall be reflected on Northern’s transactional
report pursuant to Order Nos. 637, 637A, and 637B. Finally, in accordance with the
Commission’s 1996 Order, Northern will keep separate and identifiable its negotiated
1

rate information in such form that it can be filed and separately totaled, in particular, as
part of and in the format of Statements G, I, and J in Northern’s future rate cases.

arithmetic value obtained from the formula [("X" minus ("Y" divided by "A")) times "B"]
(rate) where "X" = the Midpoint price from "Gas Daily" Northern, demarc; "Y" = the Midpoint
price from "Gas Daily" Waha; "A" = 1.0 less the applicable fuel percentage increase for
deliveries to Demarc from receipts in Section 1, as compared to the Field Area fuel
percentage for deliveries in Section 1 from receipts located in Section 1; and "B" = 0.85.
However, in no event will the daily rate for volumes scheduled to Demarc be less than

pay the higher of Northern's maximum reservation and commodity rates or the rates generated
using the formula set forth above for the entire contract MDQ for each day for the remaining

129/ For the period 4/01/2012 through 10/31/2017, Shipper shall pay a discounted base reservation
rate equal to $0.0800/Dth/Day for 20,000 Dth of summer Market Area MDQ. This rate shall not
be above the maximum rate or below the minimum rate set forth in Northern's FERC Gas Tariff.
In the event the rate becomes greater than the maximum or less than the minimum under
Northern's FERC Gas Tariff, as revised from time to time, then Shipper agrees that Northern
will immediately decrease the rate herein down to the maximum or increase the rate herein up
to the minimum. In such event, other rate components may be adjusted upward or downward to
achieve the agreed-upon overall rate, provided that the resulting rate component shall not
exceed the maximum rate or be below the minimum rate applicable to the rate component.
Shipper shall pay a volumetric reservation rate equal to $0.0800/Dth multiplied by the daily
volumes delivered pursuant to this Agreement greater than or equal to 20,001 Dth up to and
including 27,360 Dth. Northern shall have the unilateral right with 60 days advance written
notice to convert this volumetric entitlement to maximum tariff rates. If Northern provides
such notice, Shipper shall have the unilateral right to reduce the volumetric MDQ of this
Agreement by up to 7,360 Dth/day by providing Northern written notice within 30 days of
Northern's notice, such reduction to be effective at Shipper's election as of the date of
Shipper's written notice or 60 days following the date of Northern's notice.
In addition, Shipper shall (i) pay a commodity rate equal to the maximum commodity rate
provided in Northern's FERC Gas Tariff as amended from time to time (this rate includes the
applicable Annual Charge Adjustment and electric compression charges), (ii) provide any
applicable fuel use and unaccounted for, and (iii) pay all FERC approved surcharges
applicable to the service provided hereunder.
The rates set forth above are applicable during the months of April through October to the

delivery points not listed are used either on a primary or alternate basis, the rates set
forth herein will not be applicable and Northern's maximum reservation and commodity rates
will apply for the entire contract MDQ during the month that any points not listed are used.
180/ For the period 11/01/2015 through 3/31/2018, Shipper shall pay a total reservation charge
for three years of service of $516,654, subject to a reduction due to a lower cost of the
Hazel interconnect. Beginning 11/01/2015, Shipper shall pay an estimated monthly reservation
charge equal to $2.4093/Dth/day multiplied by the contract MDQ multiplied by 30.4
(Negotiated Reservation Rate). The Negotiated Reservation Rate will be adjusted down to the
extent the Actual Cost of the Hazel interconnect is lower than the estimate on which the
rates are based. In addition, the Negotiated Reservation Rate includes an amount to recover
the cost of the new compressor station and assumes a start date of 01/01/2016 and an end
date of 03/31/2018, for the MDQ dependent upon the new compressor station. The Negotiated
Reservation Rate will be adjusted for the actual number of months of service if the
completion of the new compressor is delayed. This Agreement will be amended to provide the
forgoing adjustments to the monthly reservation rates.
In addition to the Negotiated Reservation Rate, Shipper shall (i) pay a commodity rate equal
to the maximum commodity rates provided in Northern's FERC Gas Tariff; (ii) provide any
applicable fuel use and unaccounted for; and (iii) pay all FERC-approved charges and

183/ For the period 11/01/2015 through 10/31/2016, the total daily rate for the contract MDQ
shall be $0.12/Dth except for any volumes scheduled to NNG Field/Mkt Demarcation-16B (POI
37654) (Demarc) where the total daily rate for Demarc volumes shall be $0.12/Dth plus the
arithmetic value obtained from the formula [("X" minus ("Y" divided by "A")) times "B"]
(rate) where "X" = the Midpoint price from "Gas Daily" Northern, demarc; "Y" = the Midpoint
price from "Gas Daily" Waha; "A" = 1.0 less the applicable fuel percentage increase for
deliveries to Demarc from receipts in Section 1, as compared to the Field Area fuel

(Y)=the Midpoint price from "Gas Daily" Panhandle, Tx-Okla. plus $0.01; (A) = 0.9808; and
(B) = 0.85. However, in no event will the daily rate be less than zero. The monthly rate
