DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. RP95-325-000]
El Paso Natural Gas Co.; Notice of Request for Approval of
Procedures
June 2, 1995.
Take notice that on May 31, 1995, El Paso Natural Gas Company (El
Paso) submitted a Notice of Procedures for Implementation of Gas
Research Institute (GRI) crediting of 1994 GRI over-collections as a
result of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's May 3, 1995, order
issued at Docket No. RP95-124-001. El Paso requested that the
Commission approve this methodology so that El Paso can coordinate with
GRI to facilitate Releasing and Acquiring Shippers receiving any
applicable GRI collections which were assessed to such shippers for
capacity released at less than the maximum reservation charge(s) and
reservation surcharge(s).
El Paso states that once the Commission approves this methodology,
El Paso will provide GRI with the necessary amounts in order to
facilities GRI's return to El Paso of all GRI collections which were
assessed to Releasing and Acquiring Shippers for capacity released at
less than the maximum rate, i.e., the discount exceeded the GRI
surcharge rate. El Paso states that it thereafter will immediately
flow-through these funds to all affected shippers.
El Paso states that based on this methodology, GRI will refund and
El Paso will flow-through 1994 over-collections of $1,848,012.51 to all
affected shippers: $1,361,521.39 to Releasing Shippers and $486,491.12
to Acquiring Shippers.
El Paso states that assuming the Commission approves El Paso's
proposed July 1, 1995, effective date for its concurrent tariff filing,
El Paso will cease GRI collections on the capacity release transactions
where the discount is greater than the GRI surcharge beginning with
July, 1995 business and calculate and flow-through 1995 over-
collections through June 30, 1995 utilizing identical procedures as it
used for the 1994 over-collections.
El Paso states that copies of the filing were served upon all
affected transportation customers of El Paso and interested state
regulatory commissions.
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 Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests should
be filed on or before June 9, 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 in the Public Reference Room.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
