Refer to the response to the Commission Staff's Initial Request for Information ("StaffsFirst Request" ), Item 5.

a.

b.

C.

d.

State whether Atmos has discussed weatherization program participation levelswith local help agencies at any point over the last two years. If so, providedetails concerning those discussions.State whether Atmos has scheduled the meeting with local help agencies asindicated in the response. If not, state when Atmos plans to meet with theagencies.State whether Atmos foresees changing its estimate of annual weatherizationcost, depending on the outcome of its meeting with the agencies.Given the concern, expressed by the Commission in its Final Order in Case No.2011-00395, that '[l]f the estimated participation level does not materialize, ...thecost recovery component for weatherization will obviously be in excess of what isrequired in the residential rate component,"" state whether Atmos has consideredreducing the funding included in the rate component, with the spending capremaining at $375,000.

RESPONSE:

a.

b.

C.

The Company has discussed weatherization program participation levels with itslocal help agencies over the last two years; however, those discussions havebeen brief and limited. The only feedback that the Company has received fromits local help agencies is that staffing sometimes creates a challenge in theweatherization process. The Company plans on making the participation levelsthe main discussion item when it meets with the local agencies in the spring.The Company attempts to meet with our local help agencies at least twice a yearregarding our weatherization program, with the latest rounds of meetingsoccurring in the latter half of 2014. The Company partnered with the PennyrileAllied Community Services, Inc. (PACS) to promote National WeatherizationMonth in October, and has partnered with PACS for several years to promote ourweatherization program and energy conservation. The Company offers the sameservice to all of its local help agencies, but PACS is the only one thus far toaccept the offer. It is the Company's intent to continue to reach out to its localhelp agencies with another round of meetings planned for the spring.The Company has not scheduled any meetings with local help agencies as ofyet. The Company planned on attempting to set up those meetings in the spring.The Company hopes to begin setting up those meetings in April.The Company does not anticipate changing its estimate of annual weatherizationcost on the outcome of its meetings with our local help agencies. The purpose ofthe meetings is to see how the Company can assist in increasing participationlevels. The Company values its partnerships with the local help agencies, butthe Company also realizes that they have limited resources. The Companywants to help the local agencies to be as successful as possible in weatherizingas many homes as possible. For the four year period 2009-2012, the Company's



weatherization program benefited approximately 125 homes per year. Whilecalendar years 2013-2014 have had less participation, the Company is not sure ifthis is a new trend or just an abnormality. For the fifteen year period 2000-2014,the Company's weatherization program has benefited approximately 114 homesper year. With all of that said, if Commission would prefer for the Company touse an estimate lower than 125 homes, the Company would be amenable tosuch. Please note that the cap of $375,000 is imbedded in the Company's DSMrate. If a lower participation estimate is preferred, the Company suggests usingthe lower estimate and multiplying it by $3,000 instead of using the cap. Thiscalculation would lower the anticipated costs to our customers.

d. The Company has not considered reducing the funding level included in the ratecomponent; however, if the Commission desires such action then the Companywould be amenable to such action. As mentioned in part c above, if a lowerestimate is desired by the Commission, then the Company proposes to use analternative calculation for determining the annual weatherization cost. Thespending cap can remain at $375,000, just not used in any DSM rate calculation.



3. Refer to the response to Staff's First Request, Item 6.

a. Provide the target number of Education Program presentations for each year ofthe proposed three-year extension period.

b. State the lower amount Atmos believe is appropriate for funding the EducationProgram.

RESPONSE:

a. Since the inception of the Education Program, the Company has attempted toincrease its outreach each year. While the Company does not have a targetnumber of Education Program presentations, the Company attempts to maximizethe number of presentations made each year. The Company reaches out toschools, youth centers, local help agencies, etc. in scheduling presentations andhas received positive feedback related to those presentations.

b. The Company believes $5,000 per year would be an appropriate funding level forthe Education Program. Please note that any funding level related to theEducation Program would be de minimis compared to the total funding level ofthe entire DSM Program.



4. Refer to the response to Staff's First Request, Item 7b. State whether all amounts forCcf Conservation per participant for G-1 Residential Efficiency Heating Savings onpages 1-3 are correct. If not, provide the correct conservation Ccf per participant andshow the effect of the corrections on total conservation. If the Ccf conservation amountsare correct, explain the projected conservation per participant for G-1 ResidentialEfficiency Heating Savings in the Application, tab 2, page 5.

RESPONSE:

It appears that some of the cell references used in the calculations for the attachment to7b were incorrect. The Company apologizes for the oversight and for any confusion thatthe oversight may have caused. Attached is an updated exhibit.

6. Refer to the responses to Staffs First Request, Items 8d and Sf and to the Application,tab 2, page 25. Using the lower $5.75 per Mcf GCA rate as an example shows that alower quarterly GCA rate would decrease the result of the Total Resource Cost test, in

this case from .98 to .85. Discuss the impact of low gas prices on the perceived cost-effectiveness of Demand Side Management ("DSM") programs, and whether Atmosbelieves continued low gas prices will prevent gas DSM programs from passing cost-effectiveness tests.

RESPONSE:

The Company believes that the Staff is correct in their assessment that lower gas priceswill prevent gas DSM programs from passing cost effectiveness tests. The Companyhopes that the Total Resource Cost test will not be the sole deciding factor in theCommission's deliberations. As the Company stated in Case No. 201 1-00395, theCompany believes serving all customers, including those least able to afford energyefficiency improvements, and spreading the message concerning natural gas efficiencymeasures are the hallmarks of a comprehensive DSM program. The Company fearsthat by it having only programs that pass the cost effectiveness tests would most likelyexclude any weatherization program and/or education program. The ultimate resultwould be no programs for our customers with the greatest need and a customer basenot having the information that they need to comfortably and effectively reduce theirnatural gas consumption.



7. Refer to the responses to Staff's First Request, Item 11b.

a. State whether the amount for CCF Conservation per participant for ProgrammableThermostats under G-1 Commercial Efficiency Heating Savings on pages 1-2 arecorrect. If not, provide the correct conservation Ccf per participant and show theeffect of the corrections on total conservation. If the Ccf conservation amounts arecorrect, explain the projected conservation per participant for ProgrammableThermostats under G-1 Commercial Efficiency Heating Savings in the Application,tab 2, page 5.

b. Confirm that the results shown on page 3 of the response are for program yearended December 31, 2012 and not 2013 as shown.

RESPONSE:

a. It appears that some of the cell references used in the calculations for theattachment to 11b were incorrect. The Company apologizes for the oversight and forany confusion that the oversight may have caused. Attached is an updated exhibit.

b. Yes, the results shown on page 3 of 11b were for the program year ended December31, 2012 and not 2013 as shown. The Company apologizes for the oversight and forany confusion that the oversight may have caused. A updated copy as referencedabove is attached for your convenience.
