If you do not serve EUT customers, please disregard this notice.

During the months of November through March, monthly withdrawals from storage for end-use transportation (EUT) customers are limited to 3% of their contract ACQ (see Section F, Sheet F-19.00 of MichCon's tariff).  As a result of the ongoing mild temperatures and current storage operations, MichCon will waive the monthly withdrawal limit for all EUT customers for January and February 2012.  EUT customers who exceed the 3% of ACQ monthly withdrawal limit during January or February will not be assessed an Unauthorized Gas Usage Charge, unless the EUT customer uses MichCon's system supply (i.e., monthly consumption exceeds the sum of gas in storage and net deliveries to MichCon). If this occurs, then Unauthorized Gas Usage Charges will be assessed.  All other terms and conditions of MichCon's tariff and gas transportation agreements remain in effect.

If you have questions, please contact MichCon's Gas Nominations staff or the customer's assigned Gas Account Manager.

On or around February 15, 2012, MichCon will determine whether toextend the withdrawal waiver throughout the month of March 2012.  We will contact you with an update in mid-February.

Thank you,
