The Brooklyn Union Gas Company v. CNG Transmission Corporation; 
Notice of Complaint

June 22, 1995.

    Take notice that on June 20, 1995, pursuant to Rule 212 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures, The Brooklyn Union Gas 
Company (Brooklyn Union) filed a motion seeking an order from the 
Commission directing CNG Transmission Corporation (CNG) to refrain from 
requiring Brooklyn Union to comply with an operational flow order (OFO) 
that has required and will require Brooklyn Union to deliver gas 
transported by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco) to 
CNG at Leidy, Pennsylvania for simultaneous redelivery by CNG back to 
Transco at Leidy for transportation and redelivery to Brooklyn Union.
    Brooklyn Union states that during the 1994-1995 winter, CNG issued 
an OFO (Leidy OFO) which required Brooklyn Union to utilize up to its 
full X-56 capacity on Transco to deliver gas to Leidy if, and to the 
extent that, Brooklyn Union nominated FTNN service from CNG. Brooklyn 
Union states that the gas was then simultaneously ``redelivered'' to 
Transco at Leidy to be transported to Brooklyn Union's city gate.
    Brooklyn Union states that the issuance of the Leidy OFO by CNG 
during the 1994-1994 winter imposed unjustified additional costs and 
administrative burdens on Brooklyn Union. Brooklyn Union was required 
to pay fuel charges to CNG and within-Zone-6 usage and fuel charges to 
Transco to reflect the fact that gas was being transported to CNG at 
Leidy and from CNG to Leidy to Brooklyn Union's city gate. Brooklyn 
Union submits that the application of the OFO to Brooklyn Union is not 
reasonably needed by CNG to permit it to maintain system reliability or 
provide firm service to its other customers.
    Brooklyn Union requests the Commission to issue an order directing 
CNG to cease and desist from requiring Brooklyn Union to comply with 
the Leidy OFO to the extent that it requires Brooklyn Union to deliver 
gas at Leidy [[Page 33409]] where that gas will be simultaneously 
redelivered to Brooklyn Union at Leidy.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said complaint should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with Rules 214 and 211 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure 18 CFR 385.214, 385.211. All such motions or 
protests should be filed on or before July 6, 1995. 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. Answers to this complaint shall be 
due on or before July 6, 1995.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
