ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Petition for Declaratory Order

[Docket No. RP96-234-000]
May 10, 1996.
    Take notice that, on May 7, 1996, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR) filed, 
pursuant to Rule 207(a)(2) of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission), 18 CFR 
207(a)(2), a petition for a declaratory order that ANR is authorized to 
bill its customers for its actual Account No. 858 costs for the period 
November 1, 1993 to April 30, 1994.
    ANR states that, pursuant to a settlement approved at ANR Pipeline 
Company, Docket Nos. RP89-161-000, et al., 60 FERC (CCH) para.61,145 
(1992), ANR was given the right to ``track`` its Account No. 858 
expenses underlying the settled rates, through and until those settled 
rates were superseded in a new general rate proceeding under Section 4 
of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), at which time the parties would be free 
to challenge ANR's continued tracking authority. Because the settlement 
was approved for a one-year interim period ending November 1, 1993, 
certain or ANR's customers believe there is uncertainty surrounding the 
time period during which the Account No. 858 tracker applies. ANR's 
petition has been submitted at the request of those customers in order 
to verify ANR's legal authority to bill such costs.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, D.C. 20426, in 
accordance with 18 CFR 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commissions Rules and 
Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed on or before 
June 10, 1996. 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 
in the Public Reference Room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
