Pricing Policy For New and Existing Facilities Constructed By 
Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines; Date and Procedures for Public 
Conference

September 29, 1994.
    Take notice that a public conference in this proceeding will be 
held on November 4, 1994, in the Commission Meeting Room, 825 North 
Capitol Street, N.E., Washington D.C., 20426. The conference is to 
consider the methodologies to be used in setting rates for 
transportation service with regard to new and existing facilities 
constructed by interstate natural gas pipelines. The conference also is 
to examine whether revisions need to be made to the Commission's 
certificate procedures related to new construction, such as its at-risk 
construction policies, to provide greater guidance on rate design and 
construction approvals for individual projects. On July 28, 1994, the 
Commission issued a notice raising issues to be considered at the 
conference.\1\ The Commission also invited comments on these issues to 
be filed by September 26, 1994, and numerous comments have been 
received.
