[Docket No. CP96-339-001]
Total Peaking Services, L.L.C.; Notice of Initial Tariff Filing
April 15. 1998.
Take notice that on February 25, 1998, Total Peaking Services,
L.L.C. (TPS) filed its FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 1 to be
effective April 1, 1998. TPS states that the purpose of the
[[Page 19722]]
filing is to comply with the Commission's November 25, 1997, order
which was issued in Docket No. CP96-339-000 and required TPS to file a
tariff specifying the terms and conditions under which it will offer
open access storage service at an existing liquid natural gas (LNG)
peak-shaving facility at Milford, Connecticut. TPS's tariff provides
for four types of open access storage service: (1) A firm liquefaction,
storage, and vaporization service under Rate Schedule LSV; (2) a firm
LNG storage service under Rate Schedule LNG; (3) an interruptible
liquefaction, storage and vaporization service under Rate Schedule LSV-
1; and (4) an interruptible LNG storage service under Rate Schedule
LNG-1. TPS's tariff also permits it to charge market-based rates.
The Commission's letter of March 31, 1998, stated that TPS's
February 25, 1998, filing, as well as its initial application, does not
contain sufficient information to approve either cost-based rates that
comply with Part 284 or market-based rates, and that accordingly, the
February 25, 1998, filing was not accepted for filing to be effective
April 1, 1998, as requested. The Commission in that letter required TPS
to provide an updated market study to support its request for market-
based rates and required that TPS clarify why it proposed to establish
rate schedules for liquefaction, storage and vaporization service and
separate rate schedules for LNG storage service. The Commission in that
letter indicated that the tariff sheets would be retained and that they
would be construed as pro forma sheets.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First 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 or 385.214). All such motions or
protests should be filed on or before April 27, 1998. 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 in the Public Reference Room.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
