ANR Pipeline Co. (RP08-97) filed a settlement agreement on August 7 and on 9/5/08 H. Peter Young, a FERC Administrative Law Judge, certified it to the Commission. The deal aims to comprehensively resolve all rate issues contested by High Island Offshore System LLC (HIOS) and set for hearing last December 28. The proceeding addressed ANR's revisions to its rate schedule X-64 service agreement (Rate Schedule X-64) with HIOS, under which ANR provides gas measurement, liquids separation and dehydration services from ANR's Grand Chenier, Louisiana facility. HIOS is required to pay two-thirds of Grand Chenier's total cost of service pursuant to Rate Schedule X-64.
