the Commission issued its final rule

regarding the regulation of short-term

Subsequent to issuing Order No. 637, on

May 19, 2000, the Commission issued

an Order on Rehearing (Order No. 637–

and 637–A regarding the waiver of the

rate ceiling for short-term capacity

release transactions and the prospective

limitations on the availability of the

BMPL states that Order No. 637

provides for a waiver of the rate ceiling

for short-term (less than one year)

capacity release transactions until

September 30, 2002 and requires

pipelines to file tariff revisions within

180 days of the effective date of the rule,

i.e., March 26, 2000, to remove tariff

provisions which are inconsistent with

the removal of the rate ceiling.

Accordingly, BMPL is filing revised

tariff sheets as required.

BMPL also states it is filing revised

tariff sheets implementing portions of

Order Nos. 637 and 637–A which

provide that the Right-of-First Refusal

be applicable to grandfathered

discounted contracts and prospectively

only to contracts at the maximum tariff

rate having a term of twelve consecutive

months or longer of service.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

or protests must be filed in accordance

with Section 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

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
