52 Pa. Code § 69.12 - Delivery standards for NGSs
(a)
NGSs should deliver natural gas supplies under the terms of service specified
in NGDC tariffs. Failure to deliver natural gas supplies in accordance with the
tariffs may subject NGSs to penalties under procedures specified in the tariffs
or revocation of licenses, or both. (See section 2203(12) of the act (relating
to standards for restructuring of natural gas utility industry).) The NGSs may
serve customers with different quality of service requirements, as permitted
under the act and applicable NGDC tariffs.
(b) NGSs should utilize firm capacity
sufficient to meet the requirements of their firm service customers except to
the extent otherwise provided in each NGDC's reliability plan. Service to any
essential human needs retail gas customer lacking installed and operable
alternative fuel capability and any residential retail gas customer should be
firm service.
(c) NGSs should
warrant to the NGDC that they have sufficient firm capacity to meet the
requirements of the essential human needs retail gas customers, as defined in §
69.11 (relating to definitions),
and should describe the characteristics of any firm capacity to the NGDC. The
NGDC should take commercially reasonable steps to attempt to verify that the
firm capacity contract rights exist. The failure or inability of an NGDC to
verify the existence of the contract rights using commercially reasonable steps
does not relieve an NGS from any liability for failing to deliver gas, or
subject the NGDC to any liability resulting from the NGS's failure to
deliver.
(d) Natural gas service to
interruptible gas service customers should be interrupted, pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the NGDC's tariff, if the safety and reliability of
firm service would be impeded by the interruptible customer's continued use of
natural gas.
