[Docket No. PR99-19-000]
ONEOK Gas Storage, L.L.C., ONEOK Sayre Storage Company; Notice of
Petition for Rate Approval
September 3, 1999.
Take notice that on August 16, 1999, ONEOK Gas Storage, L.L.C. and
ONEOK Sayre Storage Company (Applicants), tendered for filing pursuant
to Sec. 284.123(b)(2) of the Commission's regulations, a petition for
rate approval requesting that the Commission approve as fair and
equitable, market-based rates for interruptible storage services
performed under section 311(a)(2) of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978
(NGPA). The rates for the individual storage services will be
negotiated between Applicants and various shippers. Applicants do not
propose to have established any maximum or minimum rate for any generic
service. Applicants may also retain a percentage of the injected
volumes as an allowance for compressor fuel and losses for storage of
natural gas.
Applicants' petition states that they are operated together as an
intrastate natural gas pipeline company within the meaning of section
2(16) of the NGPA in the State of Oklahoma. Applicants own storage
facilities in the State of Oklahoma, which are the subject of this
petition and which are located in Creek, Kingfisher, Logan, Muskogee,
Okmulgee, Osage and Beckham Counties, Oklahoma.
Pursuant to Sec. 284.123(b)(2)(ii), if the Commission does not act
within 150 days of the filing date, the market-based negotiated rates
for interruptible storage services will be deemed to be fair and
equitable and not in excess of an amount which interstate pipelines
would be permitted to change for similar service. The Commission may,
prior to the expiration of the 150-day period, extend the time for
action or institute a proceeding to afford parties an opportunity for
written comments and for the oral presentation of views, data and
arguments.
Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must
file a motion to intervene with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426 in accordance
with Secs. 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's rules of practice
and procedures. All motions must be filed with the Secretary of the
Commission on or before September 20, 1999. Copies of this filing are
on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection in
the Public Reference Room. This filing may be viewed on the web at
