June 13, 2001.

Take notice that on June 11, 2001, pursuant to Rule 206 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.206), Zia Natural Gas Company, an Operating Division of Natural Gas Processing Company (Zia), filed a section 5 Complaint against Raton Gas Transmission Company (RGT), requesting the Commission to find that certain actions taken by RGT and its agent, Duke Energy Trading and Marketing, L.L.C. (Duke) have denied Zia the part 157 transportation service to which it is entitled under RGT's existing certificate of public convenience and necessity, thereby violating the Natural Gas Act and RGT's certificate. To redress these violations, Zia requests that the Commission immediately direct RGT and RGT's agent, Duke, to provide Zia its full service entitlement under RGT's existing case-specific, section 7(c) certificate. Zia further requests that the Commission direct RGT and its agent, Duke, to cease and desist from any and all actions that impede or prevent Zia's use of its RGT service entitlement, or that extend use of that service entitlement to parties not authorized to receive service under RGT's existing, case-specific certificate.
