[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 57 (Wednesday, March 25, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 14451] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-7757] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. RP98-160-000] Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff March 19, 1998. Take notice that on March 16, 1998, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company (Koch) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1, Ninth Revised Sheet No. 1412, with an effective date of April 16, 1998. Koch proposes an addition to Section 7.5(a) of the General Terms and Conditions regarding payments for firm transportation service requests. Section 7.5(a) requires Customers requesting firm transportation service to make a prepayment to Koch. This amount is credited back to the Customer once service commences or in the event Koch determines it is unable to provide the service. Koch proposes adding a provision reserving the right to waive this requirement on a non-discriminatory basis for any Customer who has paid transportation charges in an amount equal to or greater than the required payment during each of the three months prior to the request. Section 7.5(a) is intended to prevent unnecessary requests for firm transportation service and therefore avoid unnecessary costs. Koch seeks to relieve established shippers and itself of the burden related to administering this provision while still maintaining a level of protection from such requests. Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing 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 Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed as provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 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 proceedings. 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. David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. 98-7757 Filed 3-24-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-M
