August 3, 2006.

On June 30, 2005, El Paso Natural Gas Company (El Paso) filed revised tariff sheets pursuant to section 4 of the Natural Gas Act and part 154 of the Commission's regulations. In its filing, El Paso proposed a number of new services, a rate increase for existing services, and changes in certain terms and conditions of service. On July 29, 2005, the Commission issued an order accepting and suspending the tariff sheets, subject to refund and conditions, establishing hearing procedures, and establishing a technical conference (112 FERC ¶ 61,150 (2005)). On March 23, 2006, the Commission issued an order on technical conference (114 FERC ¶ 61,305 (2006)). The March 23 order stated that, if the parties believed that an additional technical conference would assist the shippers, the Commission would schedule an additional conference.
