DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. GP98-24-000]


Bill C. Romig; Notice of Petition

April 6, 1998.
    Take notice that, on March 9, 1998, the Commission received a March 
4, 1998 letter from Bill C. Romig (Romig), in which Romig asserts that 
the Commission's September 10, 1997 order, in Docket No. RP97-369-000 
et al.,\1\ on remand from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals,\2\ has no 
jurisdiction over him, because he is a royalty owner and the September 
10 order pertains to first sellers who are required by that order to 
refund Kansas ad valorem tax reimbursements, with interest, for the 
period from 1983 to 1988. Romig does not believe that he has any refund 
liability under the September 10 order, and seeks clarification as to 
whether such refund liability exists. Romig attaches a letter from 
Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern) to Romig, dated January 21, 
1998, indicating that Northern served Romig with a Statement of Refunds 
Due, because it paid Romig directly, rather than the un-named first 
seller. Northern's January 21 letter further states that it expects 
Romig to refund the amounts in question. Romig's petition is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
