Achievements

• Corinne B. Grace v. El Paso Natural Gas
  
  On March 30, 1989, Corinne B. Grace (Grace) filed a complaint under Rule 206 of the Commission's rules of practice and procedure against El Paso Natural Gas Company. Grace complains that El Paso is erroneously claiming that a March 1,1973 gas purchase contract between them has expired, and, as a result, is erroneously claiming entitlement to abandonment under Order No. 490.
  
  After a rehearing on this matter. the following was stated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission judicial process for oil and gas operators in general:
  
  Order No. 490 was never intended to be an unconstrained grant of regulatory authority to interstate pipelines to terminate and abandon small producer contracts, subject only to later judicial review of the contract expiration dispute. At a minimum, the Commission should investigate the types of serious allegations presented here by the complainant and render a decision based on the substantive merits. As a practical matter, in the absence of such investigation, many small producers effectively will have no remedy of any kind in the event of such alleged pipeline conduct, because a contract lawsuit will be financially burdensome, if not impossible. Consequently, I urge the Commission to reconsider this policy.
