The Natural Gas Committee reports two significant state laws in 1983: a West Virginia bill that declared take-or-pay clauses against public policy and an Oklahoma statute protecting small producers. The Supreme Court, in several decisions, dealt with pipeline production, contract rights, royalties, and the constitutionality of state energy laws. Rulemaking included sellers' recovery of production-related costs, defining categories of high-cost gas, and simplifying well application and filing requirements. The Pipeline Subcommittee reports on West Virginia's legislature utilities reform bill, several court case, and policy statements concerning off-system sales and production-related costs. Judicial developments of concern to the Distribution subcommittee cover incremental pricing and cogeneration, while administrative developments include challenges to pipeline minimum bills, incentive rates for industry, self-help transportation services, rate design, and liquefied natural gas imports. 104 references.
