[Docket No. RP95-271-001]
Transwestern Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC
Gas Tariff
August 15, 1995.
Take notice that on August 11, 1995, Transwestern Pipeline Company
[[Page 43464]]
(Transwestern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff,
Second Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on the filing,
with a proposed effective of September 1, 1995:
On May 2, 1995, Transwestern filed a Stipulation and Agreement
(Settlement) in order to resolve a number of issues, including the
allocation of approximately $51.3 million of costs associated with
Southern California Gas Company's (SoCalGas) imminent relinquishment of
capacity to Transwestern. On July 27, 1995, the Commission approved the
proposed Settlement (``July 27th Order'').
Transwestern states that the purpose of this filing is to submit
tariff sheets in compliance with the Settlement and the Commission's
July 27th Order.
Transwestern further states that the tariff sheet being submitted
in this filing conform to the Pro Forma tariff sheets submitted with
the Settlement with the following exceptions:
(1) 8th Revised Sheet No. 2--This sheet is being submitted to
reflect the cancellation of an exchange agreement between Transwestern
and El Paso Natural Gas Company. This cancellation is necessitated by
Transwestern's abandonment, in Docket No. CP95-70, of certain
facilities by sale to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Transwestern
Gathering Company (TGC). The abandonment of the exchange agreement was
approved as part of the Settlement in the July 27th Order
(2) 5th Revised Sheet No. 2A--This sheet is being submitted to
reflect the cancellation of an exchange agreement between Transwestern
and ANR Pipeline Company. This cancellation is necessitated by
Transwestern's abandonment, in Docket No. CP95-70, of certain
facilities by sale to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Transwestern
Gathering Company (TGC). The abandonment of the exchange agreement was
approved as part of the Settlement in the July 27th Order.
(3) 112th Revised Sheet No. 5; 17th Revised Sheet No. 5A; 12th
Revised Sheet No. 5A.01; 9th Revised Sheet No. 5A.02; and 9th Revised
Sheet No. 5A.03--The Pro Forma sheets submitted with the Settlement
reflected information concerning a TCR II Reservation Surcharge that
would be added to the reservation charges shown on these sheets. The
July 27th Order authorizes Transwestern to recover all eligible TCR II
costs not previously filed for recovery which are incurred through
December 31, 1998, to be filed no later than ninety days thereafter,
not to exceed a total of $35 million. Transwestern has not yet filed
for the recovery of any TCR II costs. When this filing is made the
above-noted sheets will be revised to reflect the information
concerning TCR II shown on the Pro Forma sheets. Likewise, Transwestern
will file an Original Sheet No. 5B.01 to reflect information concerning
TCR II shown on Pro Forma Sheet No. 5B.01.
(4) 3rd Revised Sheet No. 94--This sheet is being revised to
reflect the Commission's requirement, in the July 27th Order, that
Transwestern include language in its tariff standards to guard against
the risk of affiliate abuse or undue preference in the provision of
jurisdictional service.
Transwestern states that copies of the filing were served on its
gas utility customers, interested state commissions, and all parties to
this proceeding.
Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Rule 211 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such protests should
be filed on or before August 22, 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. Copies of
this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for
public inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
