This paper reports that interstate gas pipelines continue taking steps to comply with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Order 636. Implementation of the order, as currently written, would mean increased administrative chores for U.S. transmission lines. In the latest announcements: Algonquin Gas Transmission Co. (AGT), Boston, became the second interstate pipeline company to submit an Order 636 compliance filing. Implementation of the filing, expected Nov. 1, would unbundle AGT's sales and storage services at upstream system receipt points. The filing outlines new services, operating conditions, and rates AGT plans to offer customers under 636. FERC approved anew services settlement pending since March 1991, enabling Northern Natural Gas Co., Omaha, to take a step toward unbundling system services and enhancing equal access for all suppliers. FERC approved the settlement with minor changes for a interim period while Northern finishes its 636 restructuring proposal. The company will accept the modified settlement as an interim step but ask FERC to reconsider some of the changes.
