Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp.; Notice of Filing
April 6, 1995.
Take notice that on March 22, 1995, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Corporation (TGPL) tendered for filing a report concerning its Refund
of Excess Interruptible Transportation/Gathering Revenues.
TGPL states that pursuant to Section 29 of the General Terms and
Conditions (GT&C) of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1,
TGPL refunded on March 21, 1995 excess interruptible transportation/
gathering revenues for the annual period November 1993 through October
1994. Pursuant to Section 29 of the GT&C, 90% of such excess fixed cost
revenue is being refunded to all firm transportation Buyers (except
those whose rates are based on an incremental cost of service) based on
each respective Buyer's fixed cost contribution as a percentage of the
total fixed cost contribution of such Buyers during the refund period.
Refunds total $24,516,141.43, including interest of $901,182.67.
TGPL further states that in its orders [Transcontinental Gas Pipe
Line Corporation, 63 FERC 61,194 at 62,500, rehearing denied, 65 FERC
61,023 (1993)] approving Section 29 of the GT&C, the Commission
expressly excluded interruptible shippers from sharing in refunds of
excess interruptible transportation/gathering revenues. Those orders
(including the issue of interruptible shipper participation in refunds
under Section 29 of the GT&C) have been appealed to the United States
Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. In the event that the issue of
the right of interruptible shippers to participate in the sharing of
excess interruptible transportation/gathering revenues is addressed in
that appeal, TGPL provides notice to its affected customers that the
amounts refunded are subject to adjustment and that TGPL reserves the
right to recoup any portion of the amounts refunded depending upon the
final resolution of the issue.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.
20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules
of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214. All such motions
or protests should be filed on or before April 13, 1995. Protests will
be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action
to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to
intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and
are available for public inspection.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
