[Docket No. OR00-6-000]


Chevron Pipeline Company; Notice of Request for Protective Order 
and for Limited Waiver of 18 CFR 348.2(e)

June 27, 2000.
    Take notice that on June 13, 2000, pursuant to 18 CFR part 348, 
Chevron Pipeline Company (Chevron) filed an application for authority 
to charge market-based rates on its two pipeline systems originating in 
El Paso, Texas. Pursuant to 18 CFR 388.112, Chevron requests 
confidential treatment of certain information contained in its 
application. Chevron states that the only information for which it is 
requesting confidential treatment is shipper information that Chevron 
is required by law not to disclose pursuant to Section 15(13) of the 
Interstate Commerce Act (ICA). Chevron maintains that it is not 
requesting confidential treatment of any of its own business 
information at this time. In addition, Chevron requests the expedited 
issuance of a protective order and limited waiver of 18 CFR 348.2(e)--
until the Commission issues the requested protective order--to govern 
the provision of the application containing the confidential 
information to other parties.
    According to Chevron, the proposed protective order encompasses 
both the provision of the confidential version of the application prior 
to any entity becoming a participant in this proceeding and the later 
provision of both Section 15(13) and other confidential information 
among participants, should that become necessary in this proceeding. 
Chevron contends that the proposed protective order limits access to 
Section 15(13) information to an entity's outside counsel and 
consultants.
    Any person desiring to comment or protest this request for a 
protective order and limited waiver should file the comment or protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. All such comments or protests must be filed by 
July 7, 2000. Comments or protests will be considered by the Commission 
in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not make 
the person filing a party to the proceeding. Copies of this filing, 
including the request for a protective order are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
