Hanley and Bird, Inc. v. CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of
Complaint
July 21, 1995.
Take notice that on July 14, 1995, Hanley and Bird, Inc. (Hanley),
pursuant to Section 5 of the Natural Gas
[[Page 38553]]
Act (NGA), 717d, and Section 206 of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206, filed a complaint seeking resumption of
certain end-user interruptible transportation and capacity release
service, and relief from allegedly unlawful, unduly discriminatory and
anticompetitive practices by CNG Transmission Corporation (CNG) in
violation of NGA Sections 5 and 7, the antitrust laws, Commission
policy, and the nomination procedures of CNG's FERC GAS Tariff.
Hanley complains that CNG has unlawfully tied entitlement to a
small customer, one-part, volumetric (FT(SC)) rate to the requirement
that Hanley must first ship 10,000 Dth of gas per day (Hanley's
contractual reservation level) before CNG will allow unaffiliated and
independent shippers behind Hanley's city-gate to nominate and ship
interruptible transportation (IT) or released capacity gas in their own
names to Hanley's delivery points on CNG.
Hanley also complains that CNG delayed implementation of Hanley's
timely request for FT(SC) rates for the month of June 1995, until July
1, 1995, because notice was not received until after CNG confirmed
nominations for June 1995 services.
Hanley requests that the Commission (1) direct CNG to provide IT
and capacity release service to the end-users behind Hanley's city-
gate, (2) enforce Hanley's election of FT(SC) rates for the month of
June 1995 as timely received, or, alternatively, as a cognizable intra-
month revision to Hanley's prior nomination for that month, and (3)
exercise its authority under NGA Section 16 to cure all damages to
Hanley and the end-users caused by CNG's unlawful practices.
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 August 21, 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 August 21, 1995.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
