CUSTOMER NOTICE
INCORPORATED AREAS OF
THE MID-TEX DIVISION
On January 31, 2012, Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division ("Atmos" or "the
Company"), filed a Statement of Intent with each City served by the Mid-Tex Division
(hereafter "Affected Cities") with the exception of the City of Dallas. The Company's
Statement of Intent proposes to increase its gas rates and implement a new schedule of
rates and riders applicable to all customers within the Affected Cities. The proposed
effective date of the requested rate changes is March 6,2012. If approved, the proposed
changes will affect approximately 1,194,420 residential, 100,461 commercial, and 705
industrial & transportation customers.
If approved, the proposed rates will increase the Company's annual revenues by
$49,080,069 or 4.36%, including gas costs, or 11.94% excluding gas cost. The proposed
change in rates constitutes a "major change" as that term is defined by Section 104.101
of the Texas Utilities Code. In addition to the rate changes, other proposed tariff
changes include revision of the Company's residential and commercial rate schedules
(Rates R and C), as well as its Rider WNA and Rider GCR to change the current billing
rate basis from Mcf to Ccf. The Company further proposes to revise the Rider GCR
to: (1) remove the 2009 interest rate reference, (2) clarify that the calculation of (b)
Pipeline Cost is inclusive of interest, and (3) update the Upstream Pipeline Charge
Allocation (Factor D). Atmos also proposes to modify its Rider WNA to update the
heat load and base load factors. The Company further seeks to implement a new
Rate Review Mechanism ("RRM") tariff, as well as a new conservation and energy
efficiency tariff ("Rider CEE"). In addition, the Company seeks to recover all of its
rate case expenses and all city rate case expenses as allowed by law. The exact amount
will not be known until the case is completed.
Based on the proposed rate design, the average monthly bill for each customer class
within the Affected Cities will change by the amount and percent shown in the table
below:

transportation customers.
