2013-11041. Mountaineer Gas Company v. Washington Gas Light Company: Notice of Complaint

Take notice that on April 30, 2013, Mountaineer Gas Company (Mountaineer or Complainant) filed a complaint against Washington Gas Light Company (WGL or Respondent), pursuant to the Natural Gas Act (NGA), 15 U.S.C. 717-717z, and Rule 206, 18 CFR 385.206, of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, alleging that the WGL is charging Mountaineer increased rates for lost and unaccounted for (LAUF) gas that have not been approved or otherwise ruled upon by the Commission in Docket Nos. PR13-6 and PR13-7. Complainant alleges that WGL's unauthorized LAUF percentage increase violates the procedural requirements of section 4 of the NGA, is inconsistent with the Commission's established processing for WGL's LAUF applications, and is inconsistent with the terms of the parties' transportation agreement and WGL's tariff.

Mountaineer Gas Company certifies that copies of the complaint were served on the contacts of Washington Gas Light Company as listed on the Commission's list of Corporate Officials.
