Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America; Petition for Declaratory 
Order

April 20, 1994.
    Take notice that on April 12, 1994, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of 
America (Natural) filed a petition for a declaratory order from the 
Commission approving implementation of a Settlement Agreement dated 
February 16 1994, (Settlement) executed by Natural, Dakota Gasification 
Company (Dakota) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The 
settlement relates to the contract dated January 29, 1982 between 
Natural and Dakota for the purchase and sale of synthetic gas (coal 
gas) produced from the Great Plains coal gasification plant located 
near Beulah, North Dakota (Coal Gas Contract) and to the contract 
between Natural and Dakota dated June 28, 1983 under which Dakota 
transports such coal gas for Natural (Transportation Contract).
    Natural seeks a declaratory order from the Commission that:
    (1) The Settlement and its implementation are in the public 
interest insofar as they affect jurisdictional services, rates and 
charges on Natural's system;
    (2) The Commission waives or amends Opinion No. 119 to implement 
the Settlement pricing provisions (such determination would also 
resolve a pending complaint insofar as it relates to the Natural-Dakota 
arrangements); and
    (3) Natural will be permitted to recover costs incurred pursuant to 
the Settlement and any payments incurred in connection with assignment 
of the reformed Coal Gas Contract through Natural's mechanism(s) under 
Order Nos. 636, et seq. for recovery of GSR costs in effect from time 
to time.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.214 and 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests should 
be filed on or before April 27, 1994. 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
