Commission

[Docket No. PR01–2–000]

The Peoples Gas Light and Coke

Company; Notice of Application for

Rate Approval

November 24, 2000.

Take notice that on November 9,

2000, The Peoples Gas Light and Coke

Company (Peoples Gas), 130 East

Randolph Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60601,

filed pursuant to Section 284.123 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 284.123) a

petition for rate approval in Docket No.

PR01–2–000 requesting that the

Commission approve fair and equitable

rates for the transportation, storage and

parking and loaning services to be

provided pursuant to Peoples Gas’

blanket authority, all as more fully set

forth in the application that is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Peoples Gas states that it is an

intrastate gas distribution company

serving retail customers in the City of

Chicago, Illinois. Peoples Gas states that

it is a public utility under the Public

Utilities Act of Illinois and is subject to

the jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce

Commission. Peoples Gas states that is

received a Hinshaw blanket certificate

and approval for firm and interruptible

transportation services and rates from

the Commission in March 1998.

Peoples Gas proposes to continue to

offer, pursuant to the blanket certificate,

firm and interruptible transportation

services, firm and interruptible storage

services and a parking and loaning

service. Peoples Gas proposes, for the

firm transportation service, a cost-based

maximum monthly reservation charge of

$1.9275 per MMBtu of maximum daily

quantity. The minimum charge is zero.

For the interruptible transportation

service, Peoples Gas proposes a

maximum commodity charge, based on

a 100% load factor derivation of the

firm storage rate, of $0.0634 per MMBtu

and a minimum charge of zero. Peoples

Gas proposes, for the firm storage

service, a cost-based maximum monthly

reservation rate of $1.4861 per MMBtu

of maximum daily withdrawal quantity

with a minimum charge of zero; a

maximum monthly capacity charge of

$0.0594 per MMBtu of maximum

storage quantity with a minimum charge

of zero; and a $0.0555 commodity

charge per MMBtu of gas injected on

any day with a minimum commodity

charge of $0.0002 per MMBtu. For the

interruptible storage service, Peoples

Gas proposes a maximum commodity

charge, based on a 100% load factor

derivation of the firm storage rate, of

$0.0511 per MMBtu of inventory on any

day and a minimum charge of $0.0002

per MMBtu of inventory. For the

parking and loaning service, which

includes embedded transportation, the

maximum rate, based on storage and

transportation costs, would be $0.1144

per MMBtu of inventory on any day and

the minimum rate would be $0.0002 per

MMBtu of inventory on any day. These

proposed maximum rates would be

subject to discounting.

Peoples Gas proposes an effective date

of December 1, 2000.

Pursuant to Section 284.123(b)(2)(ii),

if the Commission does not act within

150 days of the filing date, the rates will

be deemed to be fair and equitable and

not in excess of an amount that

interstate pipelines would be permitted

to charge for similar services. The

Commission may, prior to the expiration

of the 150-day period, extend the time

for action or institute a proceeding.

Any person desiring to participate in

this rate proceeding must file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,

in accordance with rules 211 and 214 of

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and

385.214). All motions must be filed with

the Secretary of the Commission on or

for rate approval is on file with the

Commission and is available for public

inspection. This filing may be viewed
