National Association of Gas

Consumers, v. All Sellers of Natural

Gas in the United States of America in

Interstate Commerce; Notice of Filing

February 6, 2001.

Take notice that on February 1, 2001,

the National Association of Gas

Consumers (NAGC) tendered for filing a

complaint alleging that the markets for

natural gas in the United States are not

workably competitive and that the

prices in those markets are unjust and

unreasonable.

NAGC alleges that the prices for

natural gas do not reflect legitimate

forces of supply and demand. NAGC

asserts that the Commission’s order

issued on December 15, 2000 in San

Diego Gas & Electric Co. v. Sellers of

Energy and Ancillary Services into the

Markets Operated by the California,

Independent System Operator and the

California Exchange, 93 FERC ¶ 61,294,

provides a basis for the Commission to

issue an immediate order setting a

benchmark price for natural gas in the

United States at $2.74 as projected by

the National Petroleum Council, and

rule that any sales above the level be

subject to complaints filed at the

Commission for refunds of unjust and

unreasonable rates for three years

commencing January 1, 2001.

In the alternative, NAGC requests that

the level of the present high natural gas

prices be set for investigation and

hearing as unjust and unreasonable, and

upon the conclusion thereof, orders that

sellers refund excessive prices to

consumers. NAGC requests that in light

of the severe impact of current prices on

consumers of natural gas in the United

States, that the Commission act as

quickly as possible.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with sections

385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission’s

Rules and Regulations. All such motions

or protests must be filed on or before

March 1, 2001. Protests will be

considered by the Commission in

taken, but will not serve to make

Protestants parties to the proceedings.
