National Gas Supply Association, American Forest and Paper 
Association, Inc., American Public Gas Association, Independent 
Petroleum Association of America, Process Gas Consumers Group; Notice 
of Petition

November 19, 2010.
    Take notice that on November 17, 2010, the Natural Gas Supply 
Association, American Forest and Paper Association, Inc., American 
Public Gas Association, Independent Petroleum Association of America, 
and Process Gas Consumers Group (collectively, the Associations), filed 
in Docket No. RP11-1538-000, a petition pursuant to Rule 207(a)(5) of 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, requesting that the 
Commission exercise its authority under section 5 of the Natural Gas 
Act to enforce its policy regarding pipeline reservation charge 
crediting during outages and order pipelines to amend their tariffs in 
accordance with Commission policy.
    Specifically, the Associations ask the Commission to ensure that: 
(1) All pipelines incorporate into their tariffs an acceptable sharing 
mechanism that allows for partial reservation charge credits during 
outages that are due to unexpected and uncontrollable force majeure 
events, and (2) all pipeline tariffs require full reservation charge 
credits to shippers during outages that are not due to unexpected and 
uncontrollable force majeure events.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in this proceeding 
must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214) on or 
before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment date. Protests will 
be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action 
to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a 
copy of that document on the Applicant. In reference to filings 
initiating a new proceeding, interventions or protests submitted on or 
before the comment deadline need not be served on persons other than 
the Applicant.
