Energy Production Corporation v. Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; 
Compliant

    Take notice that on May 31, 1994, Energy Production Corporation 
(EPCo), pursuant to Rule 206 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206, and Section 1b.8 of the Commission's general 
rules, 18 CFR 1b.8, submits for filing its formal complaint against 
Koch Gateway Pipeline Company (Koch).
    EPCo requests the Commission utilize its power under the Natural 
Gas Act to issue a show cause order against Koch for charging rates in 
excess of the maximum allowed for open access transportation under its 
rate schedule in violation of the Natural Gas Act and to order Koch to 
refund any charges in excess of the maximum allowed for open access 
transportation and to take any and all necessary actions to prohibit 
Koch from continuing to charge a gathering rate for service that is 
clearly transmission and to refund any gathering rate charges that have 
been improperly collected.
    EPCo respectfully requests that the Commission act promptly to (a) 
order Koch to refund all gathering fees improperly collected and (b) to 
cease collecting any new gathering fees on gas delivered through such 
meter point.
    EPCo requests immediate action in this matter to avoid the imminent 
and irreparable competitive harm associated with application of the 
illegal rate. EPCo states that it has been required to deliver gas 
through an adjoining pipeline facility at a higher pressure which other 
facility may not be available to it in the future.
    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 July 11, 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 
intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection. Answers to this complaint shall be 
due on or before July 11, 1994.
