Mainline Shippers Decry Miscues in Gulf South Pipeline’s Motion to Suspend Rate Case While ALJ Mulls Settlement Proposal

摘要

In an answer filed on 9/29/15, the Mainline Shippers Group found several things to gripe about in Gulf South Pipeline’s “Unopposed Motion…to Suspend the Procedural Schedule” (RP15-65) addressing the pipeline's latest rate case. The suspension motion was intended to freeze the case while a FERC Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) contemplates the rate case settlement offer submitted by Gulf South on September 25 - an offer that, according to the company, is supported (or unopposed) by the majority of case participants. But when all was said and done, the Mainline Shippers did not actually oppose Gulf South’s 9/28 motion to suspend.
