Southern California Edison Company

V. Southern California Gas Company;

Notice of Complaint

March 13, 1997.

Take notice that on March 7, 1997,

pursuant to sections 5(a) and 15 of the

Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C. 717d(a), 717o

(1992), and Rule 206 of the Rules of

Practice and Procedure of the

Commission, 18 CFR 385.206, Southern

California Edison Company (Edison)

tendered for filing a complaint against

Southern California Gas Company

(SoCalGas) for violation of the

Commission’s regulations governing

capacity release and the policies set

forth in Order No. 636.

Edison argues that SoCalGas has

abused its market power over interstate

pipeline capacity from the San Juan

Basin into southern California. Edison

asserts that SoCalGas has withheld, and

will likely continue to restrict, the

amount of capacity available for release,

and to unduly discriminate between

Edison and other competitors for

released interstate natural gas pipeline

capacity and SoCalGas’ own use of

released capacity.

Edison requests that the Commission

establish an evidentiary hearing to

address these issues and to adduce

evidence necessary to evaluate the

extent of SoCalGas’ exercise of market

power and to establish appropriate

remedies.

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, 385.211). All such motions or

protests should be filed on or before

April 7, 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 April 7, 1997.
