Southern Union Company; Data

Request and Notice of Staff Technical

Conference

September 17, 1997.

On August 1, 1997, Williams Natural

Gas Company (Williams) and Missouri

Gas Energy, a Division of Southern

Union Company (MGE) filed a request

for a declaratory order requesting that

the Commission resolve certain issues

concerning the operation of the right of

first refusal (ROFR) mechanism on

William’s system. A number of parties

have filed interventions and protests or

comments on the filing. Some of those

filing comments and the Commission

staff are not clear about some aspects of

the request for a declaratory order. In

order to clarify these issues, Williams

and MGE are required to respond to the

following questions by October 3, 1997.

A technical conference to discuss these

issues will be held on October 21, 1997.

1. For each example posited in the

August 1, 1997 Declaratory Order

request, Williams and MGE must

provide a complete description of the

expiring contract and the bids received

on the capacity, including, the capacity

for each component of TSS service

under the expiring contract, whether the

bids submitted are for TSS service, the

capacities of each TSS component

contained in each bid for the expiring

capacity, the duration of the bids, and

the rate bid and maximum rate for each

component.

2. Parts A and C of the August 1, 1997

Declaratory Order request appear to

pose the same question, and Williams

and MGE must explain any intended

difference in the questions posed.

3. Williams and MGE must explain

how the examples in their request for a

Declaratory Order differ from the issue

addressed by the Commission in

William’s restructuring proceeding,

Williams Natural Gas Company, 66

FERC ¶ 61,315, at 61,946 (1994).

The response to these questions

should be filed in accordance with the

provisions of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, in particular, 18

CFR 385.2001 and 385.2010 (Rules 2001

and 2010), which require that

documents be filed with the Secretary of

the Commission and served on all

parties in the docket.

The conference to address these

issues will be held on October 21, 1997,

beginning at 10 a.m., in a room to be

designated at the offices of the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, N.E., Washington, DC

20426.

All interested persons are invited to

attend.
