Subject:	FW: Daily Volumes For Midwest Natural Gas

Gary, was wondering if you could help us out. Scott has told me that they have 31 day charts for the stations listed below and he was wondering why we couldn't read those so as to get daily volumes rather than taking the total for the month and dividing it by the number of days in the month to get the daily volume.  The reason for this is because, especially in the winter time, this can become very crucial when we calculate the penalty invoices which are done daily and are based on the differences between the daily physical volumes and the volumes that the shippers have scheduled on our pipe.  If these charts cannot be read daily, what can we do to make it so that they can. Could you please check to find out what we need to do in order to have accurate daily volumes for these stations.

Thanks,

Raetta

Enron Should Be Fined by California Senate, Committee Says

Enron Should Be Fined by California Senate, Committee Says

     Sacramento, California, July 23 (Bloomberg) -- Enron Corp.,
the world's largest energy trader, should face escalating fines
levied by the California Senate until it complies with requests
for trading records, a legislative committee said.
     In a report to the full Senate, the Senate Select Committee
to Investigate Price Manipulation of the Wholesale Energy Market
suggested Enron be fined $1,000 initially. The fine should double
each day the Houston-based company fails to comply with document
requests, the committee said.
     ``Enron is and has been an active participant in the
California wholesale-energy market,'' the report said. ``The
subpoenaed documents are pertinent to the select committee's
investigation.''
     The committee is investigating allegations that power
generators and traders manipulated California's electricity market
to artificially boost prices. Enron and other companies have said
repeatedly that they acted within the law.
     ``We were rather surprised by it (the committee report),''
said Enron spokeswoman Karen Denne. ``We've been negotiating in
good faith with the committee and had made a good deal of progress
in the last week.''

                    Contempt Allegations

     The committee has twice found Enron in contempt for failing
to supply documents the committee has requested. On July 11, when
the committee voted the second time, committee Chairman Joseph
Dunn said he wouldn't deliver the contempt report to the full
Senate if the documents were turned over. Dunn, a Democrat from
Santa Ana, delivered the report Saturday.
     Enron has agreed to turn over more than 1 million documents
to the committee, Denne said. The company doesn't have an
agreement on the Senate maintaining the confidentiality of the
documents, nor on lawmakers' jurisdiction over documents not kept
in California, she said.
     Before the full Senate votes on the report, it must be taken
up by the Senate Rules Committee, said Alex Montgomery, a
consultant to Dunn. The committee is likely to take up the issue
when the Senate returns from its month-long summer recess in late
August. The report's proposed fines are

Enron Should_Be_Fined by_California_Senate, Committee Says
2001-07-23_21:19 (New York)

Enron_Should Be Fined by_California Senate, Committee_Says

_    Sacramento, California, July 23 (Bloomberg) -- Enron Corp.,
the world's largest_energy_trader, should_face_escalating_fines
levied by the California Senate_until it complies with requests
for_trading records,_a legislative committee said.
    _In_a report to_the full Senate, the Senate Select Committee
to Investigate Price_Manipulation of the Wholesale Energy Market
suggested_Enron be fined_$1,000_initially._The fine should double
each_day the Houston-based company fails to_comply with document
requests, the committee said.
_    ``Enron is and_has been an active participant in_the
California wholesale-energy market,'' the report_said. ``The
subpoenaed_documents are pertinent to the_select committee's
investigation.''
 _ _ The committee_is investigating allegations that power
generators and_traders manipulated California's_electricity market
to artificially boost prices. Enron_and_other companies have_said
repeatedly_that_they acted_within the law.
__ __``We were rather surprised by it_(the_committee report),''
said Enron spokeswoman Karen Denne. ``We've_been negotiating in
good faith_with_the committee and had_made a good deal of_progress
in the last week.''

  _ _ _          _  Contempt Allegations

  _  The committee_has twice_found_Enron in contempt_for_failing
to supply_documents the committee has requested. On July_11, when
the_committee voted the second time, committee_Chairman Joseph
Dunn said he_wouldn't_deliver the contempt report to the_full
Senate if the documents were turned_over. Dunn, a Democrat from
Santa_Ana,_delivered_the report Saturday.
  _  Enron has agreed to_turn over more_than 1 million documents
to the committee, Denne_said._The company doesn't have an
agreement on_the_Senate maintaining the confidentiality of the
documents,_nor_on_lawmakers' jurisdiction over documents not_kept
in California, she said.
  _  Before the full Senate votes on the_report, it must_be taken
up by the Senate_Rules_Committee,_said Alex Montgomery, a
consultant to Dunn. The committee is likely_to take_up the issue
when_the Senate returns from its month-long summer recess in late
August._The report's proposed fines are

Support KidSave and Help Miracles Happen. Every Summer.

Kidsave's  Summer Miracles Program enables orphaned children ages 5 to 11 to travel to the  US and Canada, live with families and attend day camp. The program gives  families who may be concerned about the problems of adopting an older child a  chance to meet, get to know and in the best-case scenario, fall in love with a  child. The program gives prospective parents an opportunity to see and evaluate  first-hand the challenges and rewards of adopting an older  child.

In 1999 and  2000 Kidsave and adoption agency partners placed 432 children - 96 percent of  children who participated in the program. Generally, 85 to 90 percent of  children who participate in the program find homes easily through the program.  The remaining 10 to 15 percent require more work.

Kidsave  believes every child deserves a family. We are committed to placing all children  who participate in the Summer Miracles Program in permanent families or  family-like environments.

We are looking  for families to host children, and for others who want to help us make the camp  program happen for these 250 children.

the blackouts. But with nearly 100 stores in California, company President
Eric Schiffer believes it is only a matter of time before the lights go out
at one of its outlets.
?????Though the stores have some backup power, the chain has systems in place
to operate without it. Its cash registers can open mechanically, Schiffer
said. Because an item sells for a multiple of 99 cents, sales clerks are
equipped with "blackout sheets" that calculate a customer's tab, including
tax. All the clerk has to do is count the number of items in the shopping
cart and check the tables on the sheet.
?????This week's power crunch has been exacerbated by the fact that so-called
interruptible electricity customers no longer face large penalties if they
decline to shut down their operations when supplies get critically low.
?????The Public Utilities Commission suspended the fines in January to ease
the burden on about 1,400 businesses that found themselves bearing the brunt
of the crisis to prevent rolling blackouts in the rest of the state.
?????According to Edison, about 10% of its interruptible customers are
complying with requests to curtail electricity usage during crunch time. But
Scott Keller isn't among them.
?????The owner of Chino-based STC Plastics Inc. said he was forced to shut
down more than 20 times since September, costing him as much as $10,000 in
lost production per day. He ignored requests Monday and Tuesday to curtail
usage and said he doesn't feel a twinge of remorse.
?????"If I'm shut down, I can't pay my workers," he said. "I'd feel more
guilty about that."
?????But this is one area where insurance eventually might help. Moraga said
some carriers are developing plans that would cover penalties for continuing
to use power after they have been asked by a utility to cut back.

But because PG&E had made the mistake, thanks to its Hal-like computer, it
would happily work out a payment plan for Zankel that could accommodate the
restaurant owner and the accounting-challenged power provider.
The deal was that Zankel would pay $1,000 extra on his monthly utility bill
for the next six months without interest, PG&E being ever so gracious,
because,
the customer rep said, it was indeed their mistake.
And what good is a utility without public outreach?
So Zankel paid, three extra zeros for the first two months, when he received
another loving note from PG&E on Feb. 21 that if he did not pay his bill in
the next 48 hours, his power would be shut off.
A frightened Zankel checked in with the friendly customer service center to
discover that, in fact, another mistake had been made. "There should be no
worries," his service representative assured him, especially since they were
able to track down his Feb. 9 check for $2,176. He was told his next payment
was due on March 15. And thanks so much for calling.
Then, about 9 a.m. Tuesday, PG&E sent a service technician out to Zankel's
Chestnut Street location and cut off his power.
Zankel's manager called him at home, where he reacted with the cool of a
roasted jalapeno pepper. "It's always great for business when your customers
are sitting in the dark, your staff can't work and there's nothing you can do
about it," he said.
So he called PG&E's customer service center, where he was told by a nice
young woman that they couldn't find any problems for why his electricity was
shut down. "This shouldn't have happened," she told him, but it would
probably be a few hours before they could send someone out to restore his
power.
Zankel asked why he didn't get a notice saying the utility was contemplating
shutting off his service, and he was told the previous notice was all they
needed to provide.

 So he called PG&E's customer service center, where he was tell by a nice
 young woman that they couldn't witness any problem for why his electricity was
 shut down. " This shouldn't have happened, " she order him, but it would
 probably be a few hour before they could send someone out to restore his

But_because_PG&E had_made_the mistake, thanks_to its Hal-like_computer, it
would happily_work out a_payment_plan for Zankel that could accommodate the
restaurant owner and the accounting-challenged power provider._
The_deal was_that_Zankel_would pay $1,000 extra on_his monthly utility bill
for_the next_six months without interest, PG&E being ever so_gracious,_
because,
the customer_rep said, it was indeed their mistake.
And what_good is a utility without public_outreach?
So Zankel_paid,_three_extra zeros for the_first two months, when he received_
another loving note from PG&E on_Feb. 21 that if he did not_pay his bill in
the next_48 hours, his power would_be shut_off.
A frightened Zankel checked_in with the_friendly customer_service center to_
discover that, in fact, another mistake_had been made._"There should be no
worries," his_service_representative assured him,_especially_since_they were_
able to track_down_his Feb._9_check for $2,176. He was told_his_next payment
was due on March 15._And thanks so much_for_calling.
Then, about 9_a.m. Tuesday, PG&E sent a_service technician out to Zankel's
Chestnut_Street location_and cut_off his power.
Zankel's manager called him at home, where he_reacted with the cool of a_
roasted jalapeno pepper. "It's_always great_for_business when your_customers_
are sitting_in the dark, your staff can't work_and there's_nothing you can do
about it,"_he said.
So he_called_PG&E's customer service center, where he_was told by a nice
young_woman that they couldn't find_any_problems_for why his electricity was_
shut down. "This shouldn't have happened,"_she told him,_but it would
probably be a few_hours_before they could send someone out_to_restore his
power.
Zankel asked why_he_didn't_get a notice saying the_utility was contemplating
shutting off his_service, and he was told the previous notice was_all they
needed_to provide.
"You mean if_you_send_out a notice that was mistaken

The state's grid operator, which recently said California may have been
overcharged by more than $500 million during December and January, indicated
that it might challenge the FERC findings, in order to press for larger
refunds.
For one thing, the Independent System Operator said it had evidence of
overcharging during periods other than Stage 3 emergencies. The state's grid
manager also noted that the FERC established its refund price threshold by
considering only the power industry's most inefficient generating facilities.
"We are encouraged by FERC's actions of late, but they have not gone far
enough," said Steve Greenleaf, director of regulatory policy for the
Independent System Operator.
Davis, who has pressed FERC to set firm limits on the wholesale price of
power, agreed with the ISO.
"At long last, FERC is finally recognizing what we have been saying for
months -- that generators have been unfairly soaking California ratepayers,"
he said. "However FERC is taking only baby steps."
Attempts to reach FERC Chairman Curtis Hebert were unsuccessful. Commissioner
William Massey, who has called for lower price caps, said that the FERC
orders are allowing the vast majority of power sales to be excluded from
possible refund.
Massey added that the power bill for California's three major utilities,
which leaped to $28 billion last year from $7 billion in 1999, could soar far
higher.
"The projection for this year is $70 billion," Massey said. "This agency
needs to wake up because this is turning into a disaster."
Rep. Bob Filner, D-San Diego, said he believed FERC was beginning to yield to
pressure from the state for action.
"It is clear they are under pressure, but they are using data that is most
favorable to the industry," Filner said. "But their action gives credibility
