NGPA a a result of the reimbursement of the Kansas ad valorem taxes for

refund any such excess revenues to the purchaser.'' The interstate 
pipelines were then required to make lump-sum cash payments of the 
Kansas ad valorem tax refunds to the customers who were overcharged. 
Included with Northern's payments is interest on any amounts received 
from producers held longer than 30 days by Northern, covering the 
period from the date Northern received the refund from the producer 
until the date that refunds were paid out to its customers.
    Northern states that a copy of this report is being mailed to each 
of Northern's affect jurisdictional sales customers.
