Kern River states that the purpose of this filing is to comply with the Commission's December 24, 2003, “Order Accepting Tariff Sheets Subject to Further Revision” by submitting revised tariff sheets pertaining to Kern River's Rate Schedule PAL (park and loan) service. The proposed revisions will exempt a shipper from penalties for failure to repay loaned gas or failure to withdraw parked gas if that shipper submits a valid nomination, and Kern River fails to accept and schedule that nomination due to capacity constraints on Kern River's system.
