[Docket No. RP94-184-000]

 

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co.; Compliant

March 30, 1994.
    Take notice that on March 23, 1994, JMC Power Projects\1\ filed 
with the Commission a complaint against Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\JMC Power Projects include Ocean State Power, Ocean State 
Power II, Selkirk Cogen Partners, L.P., Masspower and Altresco-
Pittsfield, L.P.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    JMC Power Projects request that the Commission find it to be unjust 
and unreasonable for Tennessee to continue to collect from JMC Power 
Projects the volumetric surcharge component of Tennessee's Order Nos. 
500 and 528 take-or-pay recovery mechanism.
    JMC Power Projects states that as a result of Order No. 636-A, JMC 
Power Projects do not receive the benefits of service granted to them 
in Tennessee's so-called ``Cosmic Settlement'' Orders\2\ or to system 
customers served under part 284 of the Commission's Regulations. JMC 
Power Projects assert that absent Commission action in this proceeding, 
they will be forced to continue paying, without concomitant benefit, 
volumetric take-or-pay surcharges imposed upon them by the Cosmic 
Settlement Orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\See Tennessee, 59 FERC 61,045 (1992), reh'g 59 FERC 61,361 
(1992).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    JMC Power Projects request the Commission to find that, as section 
7(c) shippers receiving no benefits of service under part 284 of the 
Commission's Regulations, and in light of the precedent established in 
KN Energy,\3\ JMC Power Projects should be exempt from contributing to 
Tennessee's part 284 volumertic take-or-pay surcharge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\KN Energy, Inc. v. FERC, 968 F.2d 1295 (DC Cir. 1992).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said complaint should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with Rules 214 and 211 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure 18 CFR 385.214, 385.211. All such motions or 
protests should be filed on or before April 29, 1994. 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
