Contracts already on file with the Commission may be incorporated by reference without supplying additional copies, provided such contracts are identified with particularity by stating the exact pages of the contracts to be incorporated by reference and the file or docket number designation to which reference is made. The Commission or the presiding officer may direct that additional copies of such contracts be furnished to the Commission or to other parties to the

proceeding. Any contract executed on and after April 2, 1962, and filed in support of an applicant's gas supply showing will be given no consideration in determining adequacy of gas supply if it contains any price-changing provisions other than those defined as permissible in § 154.93 of this chapter.

(vi) Pipeline companies which have filed annual reports in conformity with § 260.7 of this chapter will be required to file additional information with regard to gas supply and deliverability in support of applications for certificates for authorization to increase existing sales, facilities or capacity; to construct new facilities to make new sales; to alter any type of gas service; and to attach new sources of supply except budget-type applications filed under paragraph (b) of § 157.7 of this chapter. In all other applications the pipeline company may rely on the information set forth in said annual report, by reference thereto, unless otherwise ordered by the Commission. When gas supply and deliverability information is required to be in the application and is not permitted to be incorporated by reference, such information need pertain only to the supply and deliverability for that phase of the company operations which would be affected by the facility or sale for which authorization is sought. In those instances, the pipeline company may file only those portions of the annual report for which changes have been made or which are supplemental to the annual report then currently on file with the Commission. Total system supply and deliverability information shall be included in all applications for authorization to serve major new markets or to serve major existing markets from sources of gas supply over new routes. The receipt, maintenance, and consideration of any information received by the Commission staff for review under this section is subject to the requirements of paragraph (f) of § 1.36 and § 2.72 of this chapter and the laws of the United States.
