Fourteenth Revised Sheet No. 5B.02

Transwestern states that its Stipulation and Agreement filed on May 2, 1995, in Docket Nos. RP95-271, et al., as amended by Transwestern's Stipulation and Agreement filed on May 21, 1996, provided for Settlement Base Rates (“SBRs”) for the Current Firm Shippers listed in the Global Settlement and any shippers receiving permanently released capacity from those Current Firm Shippers. Transwestern states that the purpose of this filing, effective June 1, 2003, is to reflect the permanent release of part of Current Firm Shipper El Paso Merchant Energy's capacity to Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD). Transwestern states that it is adding SMUD to the SBR and TCR II rate sheets. Transwestern asserts that in addition, Conoco Inc. is being eliminated from the SBRs tariff sheet to reflect the termination of Conoco Inc.'s service agreement to which the SBRs had applied.
