Betts, M

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is considering a new natural-gas rate design that could reduce the pipeline costs passed on to users by as much as 27 cents per thousand cubic feet and keep industrial users from switching to residual oil. FERC approval will alter the trend toward charging pipeline annual service costs to industrial users, a practice which places the heaviest burden on volume users. A test-case hearing involving Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America will set a precedent for changing the rate approach from a commodity to a peak charge. (DCK)
