[Docket No. RP96-343-000]
Mississippi River Transmission Corporation; Notice of Proposed
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff
August 27, 1996.
Take notice that on August 22, 1996, Mississippi River Transmission
Corporation (MRT) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets to be
effective July 1, 1996:
Seventeenth Revised Sheet No. 5
Seventeenth Revised Sheet No. 6
Fourteenth Revised Sheet No. 7
MRT states that the purpose of this filing is to adjust its rates
to reflect the removal of its Gas Supply Realignment Costs (GSRC)
included in MRT's GSRC Reservation Surcharges and that portion of the
GSRC included in the volumetric rates charged to MRT's ITS customers.
MRT collects such GSRC pursuant to Section 16.3 of the General Terms
and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, and
the Base Stipulation and Agreement approved by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission in Docket Nos. RP93-4, RP94-68 and RP94-190.
MRT's current recovery period expired March 31, 1996 for its price
differential GSRC and June 30, 1996 for its buyout/buydown GSRC, both
as approved for recovery in Docket No. RP96-890. Personnel changes and
a company-wide restructuring of MRT's operations is the reason for
failure to file to remove its GSRC prior to the conclusion of its
permitted recovery periods.
MRT further states it discovered this oversight in time to remove
all GSRC for its customers' July, 1996 invoices, and any overcollection
of the Price Differential GSRC that MRT has collected will be credited
or refunded to customers, with interest, when MRT makes its next Price
Differential GSRC recovery filing, with a proposed effective date of
October 1, 1996.
MRT states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all of its
affected customers and State Commissions of Arkansas, Missouri,
Illinois and Louisiana.
Any person desiring to be heard or protest the subject filing
should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20426, in
accordance with Sections 385.211 and CFR 385.211 and 385.214. All such
motions and protests must be filed as provided in Section 154.210 of
the Commission's Regulations. Protests will be considered by the
Commission in determining 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
