I agree with your concern but I've gotten comfortable that the pleading does
a good job of finessing the issue. Technically, you are right and PNM's
service is neither "firm" or "interruptible." It is my understanding that
PNM assigns priority based on a number of factors including whether the
customer is a core customer or not, et cet. I think that PNM is capable of
determining on a contract by contract basis whether the capacity will be
firm, even though the rate schedule may not say "firm." Explaining all that
complexity would make it unlikely that FERC would approve the rehearing.
Nevertheless, I believe its accurate to say that we will only repackage as
firm service the capacity that we buy from PNM and that they tell us is
"firm." I think the draft does that, without going throught the unhelpful
detail on how PNM handles its own priority system. If I misunderstand the
facts or if anyone disagrees with this approach, lets talk about it. DF

I have a concern with this overall argument about firm and interrupitble as
we stated we would only buy firm service from PNM, but moreso, when we looked
at the detail of the PNM service when preparing for the technical conference,
it is only best efforts- does this argument fit? and can we really buy firm
service from them?? MK
