INSIDEtracc changes will be here before you know it. Along with these changes comes a unique nomination day, which will require customers to place unique nominations.

California Gas Transmission is making changes to INSIDEtracc Monday evening, November 7 to be effective Tuesday, November 8, 2005. As previously reported in a Pipe Ranger article, some pool codes and interconnect names are changing.

Since these changes are occurring mid-gas day, Timely and Evening cycle nominations for gas day November 8 will be processed using existing INSIDEtracc pool codes, and Intraday 1 and Intraday 2 nominations placed for gas day November 8 will be processed with the new INSIDEtracc pool codes.

Interconnect Pipeline Nominations

For Intraday 1 and Intraday 2 nominations for gas day November 8, continue to use CGT's existing pool and interconnect naming conventions. Do not submit or resubmit your nominations for gas day November 8 to interconnect pipelines with the new naming convention. This will ensure an easy one-to-one alignment of the downstream/upstream contract fields for gas day November 8.

All nominations starting on gas day November 9 must use the new naming convention for the downstream/upstream contract reference to PG&E. CGT recommends making these changes early on interconnecting pipeline systems for your standing nominations to ensure a smooth transition.

California Gas Transmission Nominations

Beginning Tuesday, November 8, all nominations placed through INSIDEtracc must use the new pool/interconnect naming conventions, beginning with Intraday 1 nominations placed for gas day November 8. Nominations previously placed in INSIDEtracc that reference modified pool or interconnect names will automatically be changed to the new naming conventions behind-the-scenes as part of this system implementation.

Customers importing nominations from a spreadsheet will need to modify their spreadsheet on calendar day Tuesday as follows:

• Change nomination data to reflect new pool and interconnect naming conventions starting with Intraday 1 and 2 nominations imported for gas day November 8, and all nominations imported for gas day November 9 forward
• Eliminate the "Track Nbr" column, which is no longer a valid field in INSIDEtracc
