Take notice that the above-referenced pipelines filed revised tariff sheets to comply with Order No. 587-R, Docket No. RM96-1-024 issued by the Commission on March 12, 2003. These revised tariff sheets are to be effective July 1, 2003.
Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines, Order No. 587-R, 102 FERC § 61,273, 68 FR 13813 (March 21, 2003), III FERC Stats. & Regs. Regulations, § 31,141 (March 12, 2003).
On March 12, 2003, the Commission issued Order No. 587-R, which among other things, amended 18 CFR 284.12 of its regulations to incorporate by reference the most recent version of the standards promulgated by the Wholesale Gas Quadrant of the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB), i.e., NAESB Standards Version 1.6, and the Wholesale Gas Quadrant's standards governing partial day recalls (Recommendations R02002 and R02002-2), adopted October 31, 2002.
In Order No. 587-R, the Commission required pipelines to file revised tariff sheets to reflect the changed standards by May 1, 2003, with an effective date of July 1, 2003. The Commission directed the pipelines incorporating the Version 1.6 standards into their tariffs to include the standard number and Version 1.6. Pipelines incorporating by reference the partial day recall standards must refer to the standard number (e.g., 3.3.z2) and the Recommendation number (R02002 and R02002-2) in which the standard is adopted. Each of the pipelines has filed to comply with Order No. 587-R.
Due to the large number of pipelines that have filed to comply with Order No. 587-R, any party filing a motion to intervene or protest, must file a separate motion for each docket.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filings should file motions to intervene or protests with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with § 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules and 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. Pursuant to § 154.210, interventions and protests are due 12 days after the date of the filing in each docket. These filings are available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the “FERRIS” link.
