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.
