(2) during any period when termination of service to a gas consumer would be especially dangerous to health, as determined by the State regulatory authority (with respect to each gas utility for which it has ratemaking authority) or nonregulated gas utility, and such consumer establishes that—
(A)
he is unable to pay for such service in accordance with the requirements of the utility’s billing, or
