[[Page 40519]]

July 3, 1997 Order in this docket, to become effective June 1, 1997:

Second Substitute Fifth Revised Sheet No. 7
First Substitute First Revised Sheet No. 22

    On July 17, 1996, the Commission issued Order No. 587 in Docket No. 
RM96-01-000 which revised the Commission's regulations governing 
interstate natural gas pipelines to require such pipelines to follow 
certain standardized business practices issued by the Gas Industry 
Standards Board (GISB) and adopted by the Commission in said Order. 18 
C.F.R. 284.10(b).
    On July 3, 1997, the Commission issued an order in this docket in 
response to Sea Robin's June 4, 1997, filing to comply with Order No. 
587. The order required Sea Robin to revise and submit a compliance 
filing to be effective June 1, 1997. Sea Robin was directed to include 
in its Tariff a statement clarifying application of the GISB 
established timelines for non-standard predetermined allocation (PDA) 
methodologies.
    Sea Robin states that it has added a new Section 2.4(g) to its 
General Terms and Conditions to clarify that the GISB timelines will be 
applicable to any non-standard PDA methodologies. The Commission also 
directed Sea Robin to include on its rate sheet the volumetric capacity 
release rate based on an annual rate period and the 100% load factor 
derivation of its firm reservation rate. The Commission also ordered 
Sea Robin to eliminate the footnote containing the text of GISB 
Standard 5.3.22, which contains the methodology for calculating the 
volumetric capacity release rate on the rate sheet.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Rule 211 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR Section 385.211). All such 
protests must be filed in accordance with Section 154.210 of the 
Commission's Regulations. 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. Copies of this filing 
are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection 
in the Public Reference Room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
