[Docket No. RP95–175–000]

Mojave Pipeline Company; Rate Filing

March 1, 1995.

Take notice that on February 27, 1995,

Mojave Pipeline Company (Mojave),

tendered for filing a notice of rate filing

concerning Tariff, First Revised Volume

No. 1. Mojave is tendering revised tariff

sheets for filing and acceptance to

become effective March 1, 1995.

Mojave states that based upon test

period data, Mojave projects an annual

revenue deficiency in excess of $6

million under its currently effective

rates as a result of actual increases in its

cost of service. Notwithstanding such

prospective revenue deficiency, Mojave

does not propose to increase the level of

its currently effective rates, nor does it

propose to modify the rate design

underlying such rates established in

Mojave’s Order No. 636 restructuring

proceeding. Rather, Mojave’s rate filing

proposes to continue the effectiveness of

its current rates and rate design, and

thus to recover the same level of

revenues it is allowed to collect under

its currently effective tariff.

Mojave is proposing to modify the

currently effective crediting mechanism

for revenues derived from interruptible

transportation established in Mojave’s

Order No. 636 restructuring proceeding.

Under such mechanism, ninety percent

of the amounts in excess of Mojave’s

$0.0010 Minimum Interruptible Rate

collected from Mojave’s interruptible

shippers under Rate Schedule IT–1 are

credited to Mojave’s firm shippers in

proportion to their respective firm

contract quantities, while the remaining

ten percent (10%) of such amounts are

retained by mojave.

Mojave proposes to eliminate this

crediting mechanism in light of the

minimal revenues from interruptible

service experienced during the base

period, and Mojave’s inability to project

interruptible revenues.

Mojave states that copies of the notice

were served upon all of Mojave’s firm

and interruptible transportation

customers and all interested state

regulatory commissions.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 825

North Capitol Street, NE., Washington,

DC 20426, in accordance with Parts

385.214 and 351.211 of the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.

All such motions or protests should be

filed on or before March 8, 1995.

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 in the

Public Reference Room.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.
