[Docket No. SA98-50-000]
Graham-Michaelis Corporation; Notice of Petition for Adjustment
March 19, 1998.
Take notice that on March 9, 1998, Graham-Michaelis Corporation
(GMC), filed a petition for an adjustment under Section 502(c) of the
Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA 15 U.S.C. 3412(c)) and Rules 1101-
1117 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR
385.1101-385.1117), wherein GMC requested, on behalf of first sellers
(First Sellers) \1\ for whom it operated, that the Commission: (1)
Extend the time by 90 days from March 9, 1998, in which to reach an
agreement with Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company on the correct amount
of the potential refund liability of First Sellers and submit any
unresolved dispute to the Commission; (2) grant an adjustment to the
Commission's procedures to allow First Sellers to place into an escrow
account the amount of refund which appears presently to be in dispute
but which may still be resolved by agreement (i) principal and interest
on amounts attributable to production prior to October 4, 1983, and
(ii) interest on all reimbursed principal amounts determined to be
refundable as being in excess of maximum lawful prices (excluding
interest retained under (i) above); and (3) grant them relief from
refund liability as to one of the wells for which ad valorem tax
reimbursements were made. GMC also requests that it be determined that
it was not a working interest owner or first seller and that it
therefore has no liability under the Statement of Refunds Due SRD.\2\
