Pacific Gas and Electric's mailing address is 77 Beale Street, mail
Code B30A, San Francisco, CA 94105.
Pacific Gas and Electric's petition states it is a Hinshaw pipeline
within the meaning of Section 1 (c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA),
transporting and distributing gas throughout large portions of northern
and central California to numerous residential, industrial, and
agricultural gas consumers. On June 21, 1994, the Commission issued
Pacific Gas and Electric a limited jurisdiction blanket certificate
under Part 284.224 of the regulations to engage in the sale,
transportation, and assignment of natural gas subject to the NGA in the
same manner that intrastate pipelines are authorized to engage in such
activity.
This petition is intended to establish rates for new interruptible
parking and lending services on Pacific Gas and Electric's pipeline
system within its service territory. These services will be designated
as ``market center'' or ``hub'' services as part of its newly created
Golden Gate Market Center. Parking provides customers with temporary
storage of gas on an interruptible basis. Lending provides
interruptible temporary loans of gas from Pacific Gas and Electric's
system. These services will be offered at the points Pacific Gas and
Electric's system interconnects with interstate pipelines, and at its
Kern River Station. Pacific Gas and Electric proposes an effective date
of June 1, 1996.
Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must
file a motion to intervene with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street N.E., Washington D.C. 20426, in accordance
with sections 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedures. All motions must be filed with the Secretary of the
Commission on or before June 3, 1996. The petition for rate approval is
on file with the Commission and is available for public inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
