7. Service Offering Name Change

The FAR service tariff name is changed from the current G-RPA (Receipt Point Access) to G-BTS (Backbone Transportation Service).¹⁹ To give effect to existing contracts, SDG&E/SoCalGas must add a special condition to Schedule G-BTS to clarify that G-RPA rates will rely on rates in Schedule G-BTS as a result of the renaming of Schedule G-RPA to Schedule G-BTS.

The name change to "Backbone Transportation Service" is reasonable because this more accurately describes the service of transporting gas received at receipt points over the SDG&E/SoCalGas backbone transmission lines for delivery to the SDG&E/SoCalGas city-gate but does not result in any other changes to the service or the tariff. It is reasonable to add a special condition to newly-named Schedule G-BTS to clarify that G-RPA rates will rely on rates in Schedule G-BTS as a result of the renaming of Schedule G-RPA to Schedule G-BTS.

This decision hereafter refers to the FAR service tariff by its new name (Schedule G-BTS).

¹⁹ This adopts Recommendation No. 2 of Exhibit No. JRO-1.
