Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket Nos. RS92-86-020, RP92-108-015, and RP92-137-047]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Compliance
Filing
August 14, 1997.
Take notice that on August 11, 1997, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Corporation (Transco), tendered for filing with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission its proposals regarding the redistribution of
excess interruptible transportation revenues in the referenced
proceedings pertaining to the period November 1, 1993 through August
31, 1995.
[Docket Nos. RS92-86-019, RP92-108-014, RP92-137-045]
On March 3, 1993, Transco submitted an Order No. 636 Compliance
Filing and proposed, among others, to refund excess IT revenues to all
firm and interruptible shippers. On May 14, 1993, the Commission issued
an order directing Transco to revise its tariff to provide for the
refund of excess IT revenues to firm shippers only. On rehearing,
certain parties argued that both firm and interruptible shippers should
share in the refund of excess IT revenues. The Commission denied
rehearing, reaffirming its finding that such refunds should only be
given to firm shippers. Certain parties appealed this decision to the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. On April
15, 1997, the court granted the Commission's motion to remand this
issue for further consideration by the Commission.
On June 12, 1997, the Commission issued an Order on Remand and
rescinded the Commission's original finding that only firm shippers are
eligible to receive the excess IT revenues and requires that Transco
redistribute its excess IT revenues so as to include interruptible
shippers who were harmed by the under allocation of costs to
interruptible service during November 1, 1993 through August 31, 1995.
Additionally, Transco was directed to file to implement the
Commission's decision within 60 days of the June 12 Order (i.e., on or
before August 11, 1997).
On June 13, 1997, Transco submitted a proposed refund plan
regarding certain interruptible transportation revenue related to a
Spider Field lateral in Louisiana for the period September 1, 1992
through October 31, 1993 and stated it would submit its refund plan for
the period November 1, 1993 through August 31, 1995 as part of the
instant filing.
Transco states that it is serving copies of the instant filing on
the parties listed on the official service list for the relevant
proceedings, and other interested parties.
Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as
provided in 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
