[Docket No. SA99-8-000]
E.W. Dahlgren Trust; Notice of Petition for Adjustment
December 9, 1998.
Take notice that on November 20, 1998, E.W. Dahlgren Trust
(Dahlgren), filed a petition for adjustment, pursuant to section 502(c)
of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA), for relief from paying
approximately $21,182.91 in Kansas ad valorem tax refunds to Panhandle
Eastern Pipe Line Company, under the Commission's September 10, 1997
order in Docket No. RP97-369-000, et seq. [80 FERC para.61,264 (1997);
rehearing denied, 82 FERC para.61,058 (1998)]. The September 10 order
directed First Sellers under the NGPA to make Kansas ad valorem tax
refunds, with interest, for the period from 1983 to 1988. Dahlgren's
petition is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Dahlgren's attorney states that the subject Trust no longer exists,
and that the Trust's assets were distributed to the beneficiaries of
the Trust. Dahlgren's attorney further states that these beneficiaries
are elderly, in ill health, and have no assets to pay the sums
[[Page 69066]]
required under the Commission's September 10 order. Dahlgren's attorney
also asserts that the payment of the refunds would leave the
beneficiaries destitute. Dahlgren's attorney contends that refund
relief should be granted to Dahlgren (i.e., to the beneficiaries of the
Trust) on the grounds: (1) That the beneficiaries would suffer a
special hardship if required to make the subject refunds; and (2) that
it would be inequitable to require the beneficiaries to make the
subject refunds.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said petition should on or before 15 days after the date
of publication in the Federal Register of this notice, file with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington,
DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18
CFR 385.214, 385.211, 385.1105, and 385.1106). All protests filed with
the Commission will be considered by it in determining the appropriate
action to be taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties
to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding
or to participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion
to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
