Energy Management Corporation v. Peoples Gas System; Notice of 
Compliant

October 23, 1996.
    Take notice that on October 16, 1996, Energy Management 
Corporation, (EMCO) tendered for filing a complaint against Peoples Gas 
System, Inc. (Peoples).
    EMCO states that Peoples is engaged in a course of conduct which is 
designed to frustrate the clear meaning, intent, and spirit of, and 
does violence to FERC Order No. 636, Voluntary Reallocation of Firm 
Transportation Capacity, FERC Statutes and Regulations, Section C.2, 
Paragraph 30,939, as follows:

    Since on or about August 22, 1996 and continuing to date, 
Peoples has unlawfully failed and refused to permit its core 
customers the utilization of secondary release capacity behind its 
city gate pipeline system; that, in fact, end users behind Peoples 
who are desirous of availing themselves of secondary release 
capacity are prohibited from so doing by Peoples; and are confined 
to the utilization of Peoples' primary firm capacity. EMCO also 
argues that core customers are therefore restricted from acquiring 
release capacity in the secondary market.

    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, 888 First 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 November 22, 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. Answers to this complaint shall be 
due on or before November 22, 1996.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
