摘要

On 7/29/08 FERC accepted one part of Cheyenne Plains Gas Pipeline Co.'s(RP08-431)proposals intended to update and clarify its ability to waive provisions of its tariff,under certain conditions,to maintain the operational integrity of its system and service to customers.FERC accepted one of the tariff sheets to become effective August 1,but rejected two other sheets addressing possible force majeure operational decisions.The Commission found that existing discretionary tariff provisions provide Cheyenne the operational flexibility it needs to address force majeure situations on its system.
