Mississippi Valley Gas Company Complainant v. Southern Natural 
Gas Company Respondent; Notice of Complaint

April 26, 1995.
    Take notice that on April 24, 1995, Mississippi Valley Gas Company 
(Mississippi Valley) filed a complaint against Southern Natural Gas 
Company (Southern). Mississippi Valley states that it is one of the 
individual Southern customers the Commission concluded in its September 
and December 1993, RS92-10 Restructuring Orders to be entitled to 
mitigation of costs unduly shifted to them due to Southern's change to 
Straight Fixed Variable (SFV) rate design. Mississippi Valley further 
states that the relationship between winter and summer maximum daily 
quantity (MDQ) established in Southern's Restructuring proceeding 
determines the effective rate paid by Mississippi Valley, and thus the 
rate mitigation received by Mississippi Valley.
    In accordance with the terms of its firm transportation (FT) 
service agreement with Southern, Mississippi Valley asserts that it 
reduced its winter season MDQ from 42,500 to 20,000, effective November 
1, 1994, and timely requested Southern's recognition of the pro rata 
reduction of Mississippi Valley's summer season MDQ, thereby avoiding 
any change in the effective rate paid for FT service.
    Mississippi Valley complains that Southern has refused to permit 
the requested pro rata reduction of summer season MDQ. Mississippi 
Valley asks the Commission to confirm by order that Mississippi 
Valley's summer season MDQ is reduced on a monthly average level for 
billing purposes in the same proportion as its winter season MDQ is 
reduced, that is:

November 1994-March 1995: 42,500 to 20,000 Mcf/day. April-October 1994: 
16,234 to an average of 7,630 Mcf/day.

    Mississippi Valley states that it has served the foregoing document 
to the parties on the official service list compiled by the Secretary 
in this proceeding.
    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, 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, 385.211. All such motions or 
protests should be filed on or before May 17, 1995. 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 May 17, 1995.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
