[Docket No. RP94-361-000]
Black Marlin Pipeline Co.; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas
Tariff
August 16, 1994.
Take notice that on August 12, 1994, Black Marlin Pipeline Company
(Black Marlin) tendered for filing to become part of Black Marlin's
FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff
sheets, proposed to be effective September 1, 1994:
Second Revised Sheet No. 212
Second Revised Sheet No. 213
Black Marlin states that in Order No. 636, et seq. the Commission
permitted pipelines to allocate capacity on the basis of economic value
to shippers rather than on a first-come, first-served basis which had
been established as the standard under Order No. 436. Virtually all
pipelines now schedule and curtail interruptible capacity based on the
price, or rate, being paid for such capacity with a pro rata
allocation, if necessary, among shippers paying the same price.
Although Black Marlin is not a capacity constrained pipeline and
scheduling and curtailment priorities have not been issues in the Black
Marlin proceedings, Black Marlin states that it is filing herein to
change and clarify the operation of the scheduling and curtailment
provisions of its tariff. The currently effective Section 9, Scheduling
and Curtailment, of the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) of Black
Marlin's FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1 provides that
scheduling and curtailment will be based on the rate being paid for
capacity within each scheduling and curtailment category. However, this
Section also retains language regarding the first-come, first-served
basis and priority dates which were originally established pursuant to
Order No. 436.
Black Marlin states that it is filing herein to eliminate language
regarding the first-come, first-served methodology and priority dates
so that it is clear that scheduling and curtailment, within each
scheduling and/or curtailment category, on Black Marlin is done by
price, and pro rata at each price level.
Black Marlin requests that the Commission grant any and all waivers
of its rules, regulations, and orders as may be necessary, specifically
(but not limited to) Section 154.22 of the Commission's Regulations, so
as to permit the tariff sheets submitted herewith to become effective
September 1, 1994.
Black Marlin further states that copies of the filing have been
mailed to each of its customers affected by this filing and interested
state commissions.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.
20426, in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests should
be filed on or before August 23, 1994. Protests will be considered by
the Commission in determining the appropriate actions to be taken, but
will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceedings. Any
person wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene.
Copies of the filing are on file with the Commission and are available
for public inspection in the public reference room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
