MUNICIPAL CUSTOMERS SAY NORTHERN NATURAL'S OVERFUNDED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN POSES UNIQUE QUESTION: WHAT TO DO WITH THE ACCUMULATING FUNDS - US OR THE IRS?

摘要

The Northern Municipal Distributors Group (NMDG) and the Midwest Region Gas Task Force Association (MRGTF) lodged a protest, answer, and comments in partial opposition to a petition filed 3/28/11 by Northern Natural Gas Co. (RP03-398, RP04-155 consolidated) for FERC approval of a settlement amendment that would allow it to divert certain annual payments by customers. The settlement itself was approved by the Commission in June 2005.
