Identification and support for any peak day methodology utilized to project future gas demands and any studies supporting the validity of such methodology.

National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation's ("Distribution") projected 2015

peak day gas demands under an extreme temperature scenario can be found

on page 4. The calculations and supporting documentation can be found on

pages 5 through 31.

An extreme peak day analysis is performed by Distribution for allocating costs

to customer classes as well as for capacity planning. Use of the term "extreme

peak day", by Distribution, refers to a calculated level of gas usage based on the

day in a winter season that has the highest number of degree days, i.e., the day

with the lowest average temperature for which Distribution plans gas supplies

and pipeline capacity. A peak day, in contrast, is an historical day of greatest

gas usage in a winter period, which may not have occurred on the coldest day

of the year. The peak may not occur on the coldest day of the year for several

reasons. For example, if the coldest day was not a business day and many

businesses were not operating, the peak day might not be the coldest day.

Data for extreme days of 74 degree days are provided because this level of

degree days was used for extreme peak day planning purposes as explained in

PGC Exhibit No. 24. Based on the experience of the most recent 30 years, the

Pennsylvania Division has experienced extreme degree days of 74. Therefore, it

is realistic to expect similar extreme days to occur in the future.

In addition to planning for a degree day level of 74 degree days, other factors

that affect capacity planning were considered such as the volatility of gas price.

In as much as there is a relationship between gas price .and usage, this gas price

volatility is a concern for capacity planning. Distribution needs to retain

capacity in order to serve additional requirements expected due to a decline in

current gas prices. In addition, an adjustment was made to account for the

standard error of the regression .

Pages 5 through 15 are the workpapers to compute the extreme peak day

requirements. Page 5 shows the base case extreme peak day calculation. For

the heat sensitive classes (both retail sales and transportation service),

residential, commercial, public authority and Small Volume Industrial Service

Distribution utilizes a method of extracting a base load volume and I

computing a daily heating volume for the temperature used in the extreme

peak day analysis (74 degree days). The daily base load volume is added to

the daily heating volume to determine the base case peak day sales. Gas

usage of customers in the industrial classes; Intermediate Volume Industrial

Service, Large Volume Industrial Service, Large Industrial Service and Daily

Metered Large Manufacturing Transportation Service generally is not sensitive

to temperature, therefore, the extreme peak day sales are computed based on

an operating schedule. For the Intermediate Volume Industrial Service class,

Distribution utilizes an operating schedule of 21 working days in a month . For

the Large Volume Industrial Service, Large Industrial Service and Daily Metered

Large Manufacturing Transportation Service classes, Distribution utilizes the

actual operating schedule of each individual company, as shown on pages 8 and

9. The extreme peak day Company Use represents an average day.

Page 6 shows the monthly requirements used to develop the extreme peak

day. Page 7 shows the winter seasonal retail requirements for 2014-2015. The

methodology employed to project the level of requirements is similar to the

methodology used in Distribution's last base-rate proceeding docketed at R-

00061493.

Pages 8 and 9 show the peak day calculation forthe LVIS, LIS and DMLMTS

classes. Gas usage of customers in the LVIS, LIS and DMLMTS categories

generally is not sensitive to temperature, therefore, the peak day sales are

computed based on the customer's operating schedule. Pages 8 and 9

calculate peak day sales by customer using each individual operating schedule.

For example, customer 1 on PGC Exhibit No. 15, page 8 operates 3 shifts, 6 days

per week. Customer l 's peak day consumption of 912 Mcf is equal to 23,458

Mcf of monthly consumption divided by an operating schedule factor of 25.7

days ((6 days per week multiplied by 4.286 weeks (30 days divided by 7 days in

the week)). Customer 2 operates 3 shifts, 7 days a week. Customer 2's peak

day consumption of 497 Mcf is equal to 14,902 Mcf of monthly consumption

divided by an operating schedule factor of 30 days ((7 days per week multiplied by 4.286 weeks (30 days divided by 7 days in the week)).

Page 10 shows the calculation of the peak day capacity adjustment. The peak day

capacity adjustment includes an adjustment for price changes (through the price

elasticity) and model error. Pages 11-12 show the calculation of the price

elasticities for the residential and commercial classes. These adjustments reflect

the estimated increase in consumption if the projected gas price decreased 30%.

The current methodology uses the degree day coefficient from the econometric

model (Column B) multiplied by 74 degree days for a Heat per Account (Column D).

The price elasticity shown in Column E is multiplied by the 30% price decrease

(Column F) to compute the usage per account due to a 30% price decrease (Column

G). The price elasticity adjustment shown in Column I is the result of multiplying

Column G by the projected number of accounts in Column H. The need for the price elasticity effect is to recognize that actual prices may be different from those

forecasted in the Company's study. Actual prices may result in different

consumption behavior by customers than forecasted. Since the consequences of

having inadequate capacity are so severe, the Company believes it is reasonable to include a price elasticity adjustment in the peak day calculation.

The peak day estimate included in this proceeding is based on a statistical

econometric forecast model. The peak day estimate using such models is therefore, subject to statistical uncertainty. Pages 13 through 15 show the

calculation of the standard error of the regression models for the residential I

commercial and public authority classes, respectively. The Company believes that

it is important to recognize this statistical uncertainty in its peak day planning. The

standard error adjustment recognizes that there is a range around the peak day

projection. By using the standard error adjustment, the Company is 95% certain

that the actual peak day at 74 HOD will not exceed projected usage. The Company believes, for peak day planning, that the high end of the range be used since the

consequences of inadequate supplies on extremely cold days would be detrimental for customers and the Company.

Pages 16 through 20 show the residential variables, pages 21 through 25 show the commercial variables and pages 26 through 30 show the public authority variables used in the econometric models. Page 31 shows the extreme degree days for the most recent 30 years.
