E.W. Dahlgren Trust; Notice of Petition for Adjustment

December 9, 1998.
    Take notice that on November 20, 1998, E.W. Dahlgren Trust 
(Dahlgren), filed a petition for adjustment, pursuant to section 502(c) 
of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA), for relief from paying 
approximately $21,182.91 in Kansas ad valorem tax refunds to Panhandle 
Eastern Pipe Line Company, under the Commission's September 10, 1997 
order in Docket No. RP97-369-000, et seq. [80 FERC para.61,264 (1997); 
rehearing denied, 82 FERC para.61,058 (1998)]. The September 10 order 
directed First Sellers under the NGPA to make Kansas ad valorem tax 
refunds, with interest, for the period from 1983 to 1988. Dahlgren's 
petition is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Dahlgren's attorney states that the subject Trust no longer exists, 
and that the Trust's assets were distributed to the beneficiaries of 
the Trust. Dahlgren's attorney further states that these beneficiaries 
are elderly, in ill health, and have no assets to pay the sums

required under the Commission's September 10 order. Dahlgren's attorney 
also asserts that the payment of the refunds would leave the 
beneficiaries destitute. Dahlgren's attorney contends that refund 
relief should be granted to Dahlgren (i.e., to the beneficiaries of the 
Trust) on the grounds: (1) That the beneficiaries would suffer a 
special hardship if required to make the subject refunds; and (2) that 
it would be inequitable to require the beneficiaries to make the 
subject refunds.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said petition should on or before 15 days after the date 
of publication in the Federal Register of this notice, file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, 
DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the 
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 
CFR 385.214, 385.211, 385.1105, and 385.1106). All protests filed with 
the Commission will be considered by it in determining the appropriate 
action to be taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties 
to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding 
or to participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion 
to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
