State of Alaska v. Phillips Alaska

Pipeline Corporation; Notice of

Complaint

August 14, 1997.

Take notice that on August 12, 1997,

pursuant to sections 9, 13(1), and 15(1)

of the Interstate Commerce Act, the

State of Alaska filed a complaint against

Phillips Alaska Pipeline Corporation

and its FERC No. 34 tariff. The State of

Alaska also filed an untimely protest to

FERC No. 34 that has been rejected.

The State of Alaska raises issues

challenging Phillips Alaska’s FERC No.

34, filed July 30, 1997, and effective

August 1, 1997. Alaska contends, as it

did in opposing the Trans Alaska

Pipeline System (TAPS) Carrier’s midyear tariffs that were accepted and

suspended by order issued July 18, 1997

[80 FERC ¶ 61,083 (1997)], that the rates

in Phillips Alaska’s FERC No. 34 (1) are

the product of the TAPS Carrier’s

unlawful pooling agreements, namely

the TAPS Operating Agreements, the

DRA Agreement, and the Capacity

Settlement Agreement, and (2)

improperly include costs to defend and

settle the Exxon Valdez oil spill

litigation and the accrued cost of postemployment benefits other than

pensions (PBOPs).

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said complaint should file a

motion to intervene or a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Rules 214

and 211 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214

and 211). All such motions or protests

should be filed on or before August 29,

1997. 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. Answers

to this complaint shall be due on or

before August 29, 1997.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,

Acting Secretary.

ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of

Request Under Blanket Authorization

August 14, 1997.

Take notice that on August 8, 1997,

ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 500

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.212 and 157.216) for authorization

to abandon and replace a 3-inch orifice

meter with a 2-inch positive

displacement meter at its existing

Merrill Meter Station in Lincoln County,

Wisconsin, under ANR’s blanket

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82–

480–000, pursuant to Section 7 of the

Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set

forth in the request that is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

ANR states that it delivers natural gas

to Wisconsin Public Service Corporation

(WPSC) at the existing Merrill Meter

Station, which currently consists of two

3-inch orifice meters. ANR states that

with the proposed abandonment and

replacement of the facilities, this station

will then consist of one 2-inch positive

displacement meter and one 3-inch

orifice meter. ANR states that it will be

fully reimbursed by WPSC for its cost of

the replacement of the facilities at the

Merrill Meter Station.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefor,

the proposed activity shall be deemed to

be authorized effective the day after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest is filed and not withdrawn

within 30 days after the time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.
