Paiute Pipeline Company; Notice of Technical Conference

January 22, 2004.
    In its Order issued December 4, 2003,\1\ the Commission directed 
that a technical conference be held to better understand several 
aspects of Paiute Pipeline Company's November 7, 2003 tariff filing 
pertaining to segmentation and backhaul transportation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Paiute Pipeline Company, 105 FERC [para] 61,271 (2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A technical conference will be held on Wednesday, February 18, 2004 
at 10 a.m., in a room to be designated at the offices of the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426.
    The conference will focus on the issues raised by the protesters in 
the proceeding. These issues include: (1) Whether Paiute's proposed 
tariff provisions would contradict the mandates of Order No. 637, which 
require pipelines to permit segmentation to the extent operationally 
feasible; (2) whether the proposal regarding backhaul transactions 
contains either unjustified or unclear restrictions on service; (3) an 
explanation as to why the proposal does not include any proposed rates 
for backhaul service; (4) whether backhaul nominations are available to 
shippers with interruptible contracts, or whether they are limited to 
shippers with firm transportation contracts; (5) whether there is an 
estimated date for when backhaul and segmentation transactions could be 
offered; and (6) the proposed gas scheduling computer system related to 
these issues.
    All interested persons and staff are permitted to attend. Parties 
that wish to participate by phone should contact Sharon Dameron at 
(202) 502-8410 or at sharon.dameron@ferc.gov no later than Wednesday, 
February 11, 2004.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
