Subject: RM01-9 Order Proposing Reporting Requirement on Natural Gas Sales To
California Market and Requesting Comments
Importance: High

I have just received an order proposing new reporting requirements on natural
gas sales to California markets. Issued today, FERC is proposing a collection
of information (Appendix consisting of a series of questions to be answered
by sellers to the California markets, interstate pipelines and LDCs) that
will assist in understand the disparity that has occurred and continues to
exist.The information to be reported would include data relating to the
volumes and prices of sales to California including transporation rates,
daily operational capacity of pipelines to and in the California markets, and
the actual volumes flowing to and in California and gas sales and
trasnportation requirements of LDCs.

FERC intends to analyze the information and determine what percentage of the
volumes sold into California is domestically produced gas sold by marketers
affiliated with pipelnies and LDCs in sales for resales. (These are only
sales FERC can regulate). This will also give FERC the average gas costs
being incurred by purchasers moving to California.

FERC states certain entities, while not regulated by FERC, will need to
provide the information requested under the authority vested in NGA section
14 to collect information regardless of whether they are "natural gas
pipelines."

FERC is proposing that this report be submitted quarterly and submitted
within thirty days at quarter end. There will be an electronic format
developed for submission. Responses will be required to be verified under
oath. Parties may request confidential treatment of their responses.

This is being requested under emergency processing of the Office of
Management and Budget auspices. Comments are to be submitted within thirty
days of this order.

I will send the order electronically on Monday. It is not on FERC's systems
yet.
