[Docket No. RP92-133-004 (Phase I)]


Gas Research Institute; Petition to Continue the Current Funding 
Mechanism Through 1997

March 1, 1995.
    Take notice that on February 27, 1995, Gas Research Institute 
(GRI), filed a petition requesting expedited approval of its proposal 
to continue the current funding mechanism for purposes of 1996 and 1997 
GRI funding.
    GRI proposes that the provisions of the post-1993 funding 
mechanism, [[Page 12550]] which has been applicable to GRI's 1994 and 
1995 Research and Development (R&D) Programs, be continued through 
1997. Under GRI's proposal, the funding surcharge caps previously 
approved for 1995 would be used for 1996 and 1997 funding, with demand 
and volumetric caps of 25.5 cents per Dth per month and 1.1 cents per 
Dth, respectively, allowed to track any increases the Commission may 
approve in GRI's 1996 and 1997 R&D budgets.
    GRI also proposes to add its new pipeline member to the list of 
pipelines that will be acting as collection agents for GRI funding.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest GRI's petition should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426, in accordance with Rules 214 and 211 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.214 and 385.211. All protests, 
motions to intervene and comments should be filed on or before March 
15, 1995. All comments and protests will be considered by the 
Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will 
not serve to make protestants parties to this proceeding. Copies of 
this petition are on file with the Commission and are available for 
public inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
