Having considered submissions made in respect of this change request Gas Industry Co has prepared this Draft Recommendation. We found that most of the proposed changes were straightforward, generally in line with MDL's view that they are minor and uncontroversial.
At the time of application, MDL requested that the normal MPOC change request process be expedited owing to the minor and technical nature of the change request. We have agreed to expedite the consultation process provided no material issues are raised in submissions.
