Gas Research Institute; Notice of

Annual Application

June 7, 2001.

Take notice that on June 1, 2001, Gas

Research Institute (GRI) filed an

application requesting advance approval

of its 2002–2006 Five-Year Research,

Development and Demonstration

(RD&D) Plan, and the 2002 RD&D

Program and the funding of its RD&D

activities for 2002, pursuant to section

154.401 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act,

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure, and the Commission’s April

29, 1998 Order Approving Settlement

[83 FERC ¶ 61,093(1998)].

In its application, GRI states that all

aspects of its proposed 2002 Program

are consistent with the current

Settlement. GRI states that proposed

budgets are identical to those approved

as part of the Settlement. GRI proposes

to incur contract obligations of $60.0

million in 2002. Consistent with the

Commission’s April 29, 1998 Order

Approving Settlement, GRI states that

all $60.0 million of the 2002 contract

obligations will be for Core Projects.

GRI’s application seeks to collect funds

to support its RD&D program through

jurisdictional rates and charges during

the twelve months ending December 31,

2002. In addition GRI adds that since

actual collections for 2000 of $134.0

million are $9.9 million less than

projected, proposed 2002 surcharges are

those set forth in the Settlement

Agreement adjusted upward by 10

percent consistent with the stated

intention of Settlement Agreement

Article II, section 1.0 and have the

potential to narrow the gap between

actual collections and projected

revenues by approximately $6 million.

Consistent with the Commission’s

April 29, 1998 Order Approving

Settlement, GRI proposes to fund the

2002 RD&D program by the use of the

following surcharges: (1) A demand/

reservation surcharge of 6.6 cents per

Dth per Month for ‘‘high load factor

customers;’’ (2) a demand still

reservation surcharge of 4.07 cents per

Dth per month for ‘‘low load factor

customers’’; (3) a volumetric

commodity/usage surcharge of 0.55

cents; and (4) a special ‘‘small

customer’’ surcharge of .88 cents per

Dth. All of the proposed 2020

surcharges represent decreases from

corresponding current levels.

The Commission Staff will analyze

GRI’s application and prepare a

Commission Staff Report. This Staff

Report will be served on all parties and

filed with the Commission as a public

document on August 10, 2001.

Comments on the Staff Report and GRI’s

application by all parties, except GRI,

must be filed with the Commission on

or before August 24, 2001. GRI’s reply

comments must be filled on or after

August 31, 2001.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest GRI’s application, except for GRI

members and state regulatory

commissions, who are automatically

permitted to participate in the instant

proceedings as intervenors, should file a

motion to intervene or protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

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

20426, in accordance with the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.

All such motions or protests should be

filed on or before June 21, 2001. All

comments and protests will be

considered by the Commission in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to this proceeding.

Any person wishing to become a party,

other than a GRI member or a state

regulatory commission, must file a

motion to intervene. Copies of this filing

are on file with the Commission and are
