According to the U.S. Federal Regulatory Commission (FERC), which recently completed a survey of 29 natural gas transmission companies accounting for 99Vertical Bar3< of the interstate gas volume, ''curtailments of natural gas service by the major interstate pipeline companies are not expected to result in any significant industrial or commercial dislocation or shutdown during the coming (1979-80) winter''; industrial consumption is expected to increase to 6.87 trillion cu ft in 1979 and to decrease to 6.78 trillion in 1980. According to a Fertilizer Institute poll of the 75 ammonia producers in the U.S., during the fertilizer year ending 6/30/80, there will be a total loss of 74,000 tons of ammonia production because of a 3 billion cu ft curtailment of natural gas deliveries, compared with a 10.3 billion cu ft shortfall in the 1978-79 fertilizer year, which resulted in an ammonia production loss of 246,000 tons. Expected price increases and the Natural Gas Policy Act's incremental pricing provisions for industrial users are discussed.
