Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Petition
For Declaratory Order
September 15, 1995.
Take notice that on September 1, 1995, Transcontinental Gas Pipe
Line Corporation (Transco) and certain traditional shippers\1\ (herein
collectively, with Transco, referred to as the Transco Group) filed a
Petition for Declaratory Order.
\1\The Brooklyn Union Gas Company, Consolidated Edison Company
of New York, Inc., Elizabethtown Gas Company a division of NUI
Corporation, Long Island Lighting Company, North Penn Gas, Inc.,
Penn Fuel Gas, Inc., Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company,
Philadelphia Gas Works, Piedmont Natural Gas Company and Public
Service Electric & Gas Company have joined Transco in this Petition
to evidence their support for the findings requested.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Transco Group requests that the Commission order Coastal Eagle
Point Oil Company to comply with Transco's tariff provision requiring
the payment of overrun penalty amounts incurred as a result of
unauthorized takes of gas in excess of its maximum firm contract
entitlement during December of 1992. In support thereof, the Transco
Group seeks a declaratory order finding that (1) a shipper's intent at
the time that it incurs an overrun is not relevant to the assessment of
an overrun penalty; (2) a ``harm'' standard is not relevant to the
assessment of an overrun penalty, and (3) Transco is not required to
provide verbal or written notice to a shipper prior to the assessment
of an overrun penalty.
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, NE., Washington, DC
20426, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.214 and 385.211 of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests should
be filed on or before September 25, 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. Any
person wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene.
Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available
for public inspection in the public reference room.

Acting Secretary.
