E6-22682. Worsham-Steed Gas Storage, L.P.; Notice of Petition for Rate Approval

December 28, 2006.

Take notice that on December 14, 2006, Worsham-Steed Gas Storage, L.P. (Worsham-Steed), an intrastate natural-gas storage company, filed a petition for rate approval of market-based rates for storage services pursuant to section 284.123 of the Commission's regulations. Worsham-Steed is requesting that the Commission approve market-based rates for its storage services, including storage-related hub services, pursuant to section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978. Worsham-Steed states that it does not have market power in any relevant product or geographic market for storage services and has submitted a market power study with its petition, which supports the conclusion that Worsham-Steed lacks market power.

Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must file a motion to intervene or to protest this filing must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214).

Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, motions, or protests must be filed on or before the date as indicated below. Anyone filing an intervention or protest must serve a copy of that document on the Applicant. Anyone filing an intervention or protest on or before the intervention or protest date need not serve motions to intervene or protests on persons other than the Applicant.
