Thanks for the book and the CD.
dev41
I lazed around the house enjoying both yesterday morning.
dev41
After we played tennis, Bill took me to Berryhill for fish tacos (al fresco) and later that evening we went to yet another Christmas party, where I drank champagne (but luckily not too much).
dev41
So it was a good birthday.
dev41
Have a good day!
dev41
See the attached (one shows redlining, the other does not) and let me know if you have further questions.
dev41
no comments this month
dev41
Thanks.
dev41
Lindy and I are going to look at whether any changes will need to be made to the pro forma sheets we've filed, and will get back to you.
dev41
I made a couple of minor changes.
dev41
Here are plain and redlined versions (I turned the tracker off on the plain one).
dev41
Also, be sure to fill in the contract #.
dev41
Did Stan make the call to FERC, I wonder.
dev41
Drew -- see MK's comments.
dev41
I'm trying to come up with some new language to address her concerns.
dev41
Oops, wrong one -- I meant MK had comments on Red Cedar.
dev41
This one for Duke is OK.
dev41
Drew, here's an excerpt from a FERC letter order accepting for filing a nonconforming agreement filed by Dynegy Midstream...sounds a little bit like what the TW guys are trying to do, if I understand the concept of volumetric rates correctly.
dev41
Left a message for my friend at DMP but he (like everyone else) is out 'til next year.
dev41
But since there were no subsequent orders issued in the docket I assume there were no problems with the filing.
dev41
I'm still leaning towards recommending the $0 demand/ $0.02 commodity + file as nego.
dev41
rate approach.
dev41
If Steve Harris is OK with the idea of doing a deal that requires filing, I will draft something and send it your way.
dev41
The referenced negotiated transaction provides for a transportation service under DMP's Rate Schedule FTS.
dev41
Rather than paying a reservation charge, the negotiated agreement specifies that KGS will pay a volumetric rate.
dev41
The volumetric rate will equal DMP's maximum interruptible transportation service rate as set forth in DMP's tariff.
dev41
.
dev41
.The contract also (a) specifies five Dth/d as KGS' maximum daily reservation quantity, (b) lists KGS' primary receipt as Meter # 9999999 and (c) identifies five primary delivery points for KGS.
dev41
.
dev41
.
dev41
Upon filing Docket No. RP99-240-000, DMP stated that it agreed to the above negotiated rate so that KGS could serve small residential customers on DMP's system under a firm rate schedule.
dev41
Drew, I've attached my proposed changes to the Red Cedar contract.
dev41
Our beloved Min/Max Language became a bit problematic, as you can see.
dev41
I'd welcome your comments on this.
dev41
see attached.
dev41
Wow, you struck a nerve with this one!
dev41
My grandmother (Mema) is an absolute nightmare when around family, but really sweet to everyone else!
dev41
Everyone tells me how wonderful and nice she is (she meets lots of people I know on her commute to her office downtown), and I just have to keep my mouth shut because no one would believe some of the things she says & does.
dev41
Example: over Christmas she kept trying to tell my 8-months pregnant sister all kinds of delivery-room horror stories!
dev41
I finally had to yell at her to get her to shut up.
dev41
Maybe you remember Mema; she calls every so often and bullies receptionists and secretaries into tracking me down instead of just leaving a message.
dev41
Of course, everyone but me thinks it is really cute.
dev41
Hope your holiday was really great!
dev41
Since the 311 belt/suspenders approach didn't quite fit, I've had to try to convince Mr. Hertzberg that he ought to rely on the NGA Sec.
dev41
1 exemption for gatherers (Frank Kelly and Frazier concur with us on this, by the way).
dev41
He is not convinced yet, although he is unable to cite any authority for his proposition that being a shipper on TW would subject a gathering company to FERC jurisdiction.
dev41
I pointed out that Agave, the owner and operator of an extensive gathering system that interconnects with TW's system, has for many years been a shipper on TW.
dev41
Also, Lindy has found that Red Cedar already has a long-term transportation contract on another interstate system, Transcolorado, so if Hertzberg's theory is right they are going to jail anyway!
dev41
Red Cedar also seems to be hung up on our requirement that shippers have title to the gas they ship.
dev41
At this point Lorraine and I believe they might just be looking for any excuse to get out of the deal.
dev41
If anything interesting happens I'll let you know.
dev41
Anyway, Ann isn't coming on Friday because she can't stand it that everyone is a couple, so she is going instead with her ex boyfriend to a dinner party given by some people she doesn't even know.
dev41
Although I am trying very hard to be understanding, I'm not doing a very good job.
dev41
When I was in her situation, I seem to remember enjoying my best friends' company whether I had a date or not!
dev41
But that's just me.
dev41
Hope you are still having tanning weather in Austin.
dev41
We certainly are here.
dev41
If you feel you are not getting enough color for your trip to Cabo, I'll come before you leave and help you with the Clinique Tan-In-A-Tube!
dev41
(You will still have to wear sunscreen).
dev41
What are your trip dates again?
dev41
Have a good day!
dev41
Love,
dev41
I'm attaching an article that I just received about the CPUC's and Indicated Shippers' protests of the recent ENA deal on El Paso.
dev41
I have a call in to Drew Fossum to talk about formulating a formal response, and I will keep you in that loop in case you get any inquiries.
dev41
(My initial, unofficial reaction is that with the marketing affiliate rules and other safeguards in place, the fact that ENA and Transwestern have the same parent company should make no difference to the FERC.) Until further notice, I would avoid any communication with ENA on these issues.
dev41
If you have any questions, please e-mail or call me (x30596).
dev41
Attached is Shelley Corman's response to Jeff Dasovich, based on conversations with Drew and me.
dev41
Accordingly, I would advise you not to participate in the conference call Jeff is setting up for tomorrow.
dev41
Questions -- give me a call.
dev41
Steve, for your information, the case in which the Commission denied ECT's petition for a limited waiver of the shipper must have title rule appears at 84 FERC P 61,222.
dev41
Hi Mum!
dev41
Ann and I saw "Mr. Ripley" and I lay awake last night wondering how else the main character could have dealt with his dilemma on the boat!
dev41
I think I need to go to the movies more often; perhaps it will help me avoid this blurring of film and reality.
dev41
My tendency is to really get involved when I see them on the big screen!
dev41
Might be going to San Francisco next week.
dev41
I'd really like to go.
dev41
We'll see.
dev41
Probably I will come to Austin on Saturday but I've not heard from the landscaper yet.
dev41
I doubt they will be working on the weekend though.
dev41
Hope you're having pretty weather as we have in Houston today.
dev41
Love,
dev41
Our consulting agreement with IGS for services related to the CPUC proceeding expired 12/31/99 but can be continued by mutual agreement of the parties.
dev41
Given the upcoming proceedings, I'd recommend that we act on this sooner rather than later...let me know and I'll draft a brief letter to Mark Baldwin.
dev41
I've reviewed the IGS market development agreement pursuant to your request.
dev41
It expires 2/29/00.
dev41
The agreement requires the parties to meet 90 days prior to that date for the purpose of discussing an extension but does not obligate us to agree to any such extension.
dev41
As you know, I have a conflict tomorrow at 10, but would be happy to provide any other information you need for the meeting.
dev41
Lindy, do you know offhand whether our OBAs with PG&E and SoCal deviate from the usual 10% tolerance provided for in our tariff form OBA?
dev41
If not, who do you think might be able to tell me?
dev41
Rich, would you please add Tim Aron to your distribution list for the Gallup Weekly Updates, and also forward him your latest?
dev41
He is working on New Mexico regulatory and legislative issues pertaining to our compression contract, and I thought your updates would help keep him in the loop.
dev41
Thank you.
dev41
The Mark Morris group performance is the last weekend of this month, the 27th - 29th.
dev41
See the website www.spahouston.org and click on "Program Notes" for a detailed description.
dev41
Bill and I will leave for Austin tomorrow a.m. as early as we can manage.
dev41
I'm not picky about where we go for dinner, but was thinking Bill might enjoy going to the Bitter End brew pub -- I'm sure they don't take reservations but it should not be a problem if we go early enough.
dev41
The landscaper removed all the bushes in the front beds and it looks weird!
dev41
Can't wait for her to get the new gravel in my driveway.
dev41
We'll call tomorrow a.m. if not sooner!
dev41
Have a good day!
