Under the provisions of Rider 14, Large Volume Gas Supply,
any new or additional use of gas is limited and subject to
prior approval by NI -Gas.
On November 5, 1971, NI -Gas filed with the Illinois Commerce
Commission proposed Rider 17, Unauthorized Use of Gas, to
provide additional control of gas use within the limitations
of Rider 14 by means of an additional charge of $1.00 per
therm for use in excess of allowed quantities. This
additional charge will apply if your gas use is greater than
the daily quantity stated in your Gas Service Contract plus
any increase allowed by Rider 14.
If your use is not over 2,000 therms per day and your bills
are generally less than $2,000 for a month, you are not
likely to be affected by the above Rider 17 provisions;
however, customers of all sizes are subject to the Rider.
The copy of pending Rider 17, shown on the back of this letter,
is for your information and should be attached to your Gas
Service Contract. Unless you receive further notification,
Rider 17 will become effective December 5, 1971.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please con-
tact your local NI -Gas Sales Representative.
Yours very truly,

The following p isions of Rider 17, appl> )le to all non-
residential rated, have been filed with the _llinois Commerce
Commission by Northern Illinois Gas Company.
STANDARD RIDER 17
UNAUTHORIZED USE OF GAS
Unauthorized use of gas shall mean the taking of gas by the Customer, on any day, in excess of the maximum
daily contract quantity specified in the Gas Service Contract between the Company and the Customer. If un-
authorized use of gas occurs, the Company shall charge the Customer, and the Customer shall pay in addi-
tion to the regular charges of the rate, $1.00 for each therm of unauthorized use of gas. Such additional charge
shall not apply to therms of additional gas for which the Customer may qualify under the provisions of
Standard Rider 14, Large Volume Gas Supply, or to therms of additional gas authorized on a temporary
basis in advance by the Company for use by a governmental body in an emergency affecting the public health
and welfare.
Where an increase in peak billing demand is established during the billing period under a rate which includes
a demand charge, and the additional charge for unauthorized use of gas is payable in that billing period,
charges of the rate for the increased billing demand subject to such additional charge shall apply only to
that billing period.
Where the Customer's gas use is not measured by the Company on.a daily basis, the Customer's maximum daily
contract quantity shall be multiplied by the number of days in the billing period to determine the maximum
quantity allowed under the contract as authorized gas. For such customers, unauthorized use of gas shall
mean the taking of gas in any billing period in excess of such authorized gas for such billing period.
Payment of the additional charge for unauthorized use of gas shall not, under any circumstances, give the
Customer the right to use gas in excess of the maximum daily contract quantity, nor shall such payment
exclude or limit the Company's right to discontinue service to the Customer for failure to stay within the
authorized maximum daily contract quantity.
Except as specified above, all other provisions of the rate shall apply.
