[Docket No. RP97-411-001]
Sea Robin Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes to FERC
Gas Tariff
August 20, 1997.
Take notice that on August 15, 1997, Sea Robin Pipeline Company
(Sea Robin) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First
Revised Volume No. 1, the revised tariff sheets set forth on Appendix A
to the filing pursuant to Sec. 154.203 of the Commission's Regulations
and Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act to become effective August 1,
1997.
On July 1, 1997, Sea Robin submitted a filing with the Commission
in the above-captioned docket to create a new rate schedule on Sea
Robin's system to provide a new, flexible firm service for any eligible
shipper. Such new, firm service, Rate Schedule FTS-2, provides firm
transportation at a volumetric rate provided that shippers maintain a
throughput level of 80% of Maximum Daily Quantity (MDQ). In the
Commission's ``Order Accepting and Suspending Tariff Sheets Subject to
Conditions'' dated July 31, 1997, the Commission accepted Sea Robin's
filing subject to certain conditions. Specifically, the Commission
required Sea Robin to clarify the following to its tariff language in
its new Rate Schedule FTS-2:
(i) That FTS-2 shippers are eligible for permanent releases under
Sea Robin's capacity release program;
(ii) How the billing mechanism for FTS-2 shippers billed a
reservation charge will work to allow these shippers time to release
capacity;
(iii) To incorporate certain handwritten language which was filed
and served but not included in its electronic filing; and
(iv) That Sea Robin will consider at minimum the guaranteed revenue
(the 80% throughput level) when evaluating requests under Rate Schedule
FTS-2 to determine net present value when allocating capacity.
In addition, the Commission required Sea Robin to submit workpapers
consistent with the requirement set forth in Sec. 154.202(a)(1)(viii)
of the Commission's Regulations.
In addition to the sheets clarifying the issues contained in the
Order and the workpapers required by the Order, Sea Robin states that
it has filed four revised sheets which contain Sea Robin's allocation
procedures under Sections 3 and 2 of the General Terms and Conditions
to its existing tariff. Sea Robin has included these sheets in order to
insure that the new service is included under those procedures.
Sea Robin has requested to place the tariff sheets into effect
August 1, 1997.
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 Secs. 385.211 and 385.214 of
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures. All such protests
must be filed in accordance with Sec. 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.
