Interstate Natural Gas Association of America; Notice of Petition 
To Waive Disbursement of Gas Research Institute Refund Obligation

October 27, 2005.
    Take notice that on October 11, 2005, Interstate Natural Gas 
Association of America (INGAA), on behalf of its interstate natural gas 
pipeline company membership, filed a petition requesting that the 
Commission waive an obligation imposed on pipelines by a 1998 
settlement obligation in Docket No. RP97-391 to pass through to 
customers certain Gas Research Institute (GRI) refunds and, in lieu of 
that obligation, authorize the pipelines to make payments to certain 
charitable organizations to assist victims of Hurricanes Katrina and 
Rita.
    INGAA states that the refund amounts are so small that it would be 
impractical to disburse them to individual customers, and that 
disbursing the refund to certain charities to aid victims of Hurricanes 
Katrina and Rita is preferable.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). 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 proceeding. Any person 
wishing to become a party must file a notice of intervention or motion 
to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, motions, or protests must 
be filed on or before the date as indicated below. Anyone filing an 
intervention or protest must serve a copy of that document on the 
Applicant. Anyone filing an intervention or protest on or before the 
intervention or protest date need not serve motions to intervene or 
protests on persons other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 
original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426.
