The Commission, by order issued

September 19, 1997, in Docket No.

RP97–369–000 et al,1 on remand from

the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals,2

required first sellers to refund the

Kansas ad valorem tax reimbursements

to the pipelines, with interest, for the

period from 1983 to 1988. In its January

28, 1998 Order Clarifying Procedures

[82 FERC ¶ 61,059 (1998)], the

Commission stated that producers (i.e.,

first sellers) could file dispute

resolution requests with the

Commission, asking the Commission to

resolve the dispute with the pipeline

over the amount of Kansas ad valorem

tax refunds owed.

Applicants state that Panhandle has

attempted to collect Kansas ad valorem

tax refunds from them for the period

from 1983 to 1988. Applicants contend

that these efforts are a breach of their

1990 Settlement with Panhandle,

because the 1990 Settlement released

Applicants and Panhandle from all

claims against each other relating to

Applicants’ gas purchase contract with

Panhandle. Applicants also state that

they have placed the principal and

interest involved into an escrow

account, and request that, if necessary,

the Commission authorize Applicants to

place these sums into the escrow

account, pending resolution of their

dispute with Panhandle. Applicants

also request that the Commission

establish a briefing schedule so that

Applicants can fully advise the

Commission of their position.

Any person desiring to comment on

or make any protest with respect to the

above-referenced petition should, on or

before June 26, 1998, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC

20426, a motion to intervene or protest

in accordance with the requirements of

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211).

All protests filed with the Commission

will be considered by it in determining

the appropriate action to be taken, but

will not serve to make the protestants

parties to the proceeding. Any person

wishing to become a party to the

proceeding, or to participate as a party

in any hearing therein, must file a

motion to intervene in accordance with

the Commission’s Rules.
