[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 179 (Tuesday, September 16, 1997)] [Notices] [Pages 48640-48641] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-24456] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. RP97-513-000] Texaco Natural Gas Inc. v. Sea Robin Pipeline Company; Notice of Complaint September 10, 1997. Take notice that on September 4, 1997, pursuant to Rule 206 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR Sec. 385.206, Texaco Natural Gas Inc. (Texaco) tendered for filing a complaint against Sea Robin Pipeline Company (Sea Robin). Texaco alleges that Sea Robin failed to follow its tariff provision in allocating capacity on a net present value basic and that Sea Robin failed to provide notice in a timely fashion to all shippers that Sea Robin instead intended to allocate capacity on a first-come, first- served basis. Texaco requests that the Commission order Sea Robin to allocate capacity on its system in future months based on the net present value procedure in its tariff. [[Page 48641]] Texaco also alleges that Sea Robin engaged in unduly discriminatory and preferential actions related to the manner in which it provided notice of capacity constraints and solicited bids for available capacity. Texaco further asks the Commission to investigate the adequacy of Sea Robin's maintenance of its Erath Compressor Station to determine whether inadequate care in maintaining that facility contributed to the capacity constraint resulting from schedule maintenance on Sea Robin's Vermilion Block 149 Compressor Station. Texaco also requests that Sea Robin be required to make restitution to Texaco for the damages it incurred as the direct result of Sea Robin's actions. Any person desiring to be heard or to protest with respect to said Complaint should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such motions or protests must be filed on or before September 26, 1997. All protests filed with the Commission shall be considered by it 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. Answers to this complaint are due on or before October 3, 1997. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. 97-24456 Filed 9-15-97; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-M
