§ 154.205 Withdrawals
and
amendments of tariff filings and executed
service agreements.
(a) Withdrawals of tariff filings or service agreements prior to Commission action.
(1) A natural gas company may withdraw in its entirety a tariff filing or executed service agreement that has not
become effective and upon which no
Commission or delegated order has
been issued by filing a withdrawal motion with the Commission. Upon the
filing of such motion, the proposed tariff sheets, sections or service agreements will not become effective under
section 4(d) of the Natural Gas Act in
the absence of Commission action
making the rate schedule or tariff filing effective.
(2) The withdrawal motion will become effective, and the rate schedule
or tariff filing will be deemed withdrawn, at the end of 15 days from the
date of filing of the withdrawal motion,
if no answer in opposition to the withdrawal motion is filed within that period and if no order disallowing the
withdrawal is issued within that period. If an answer in opposition is filed
within the 15 day period, the withdrawal is not effective until an order
accepting the withdrawal is issued.
(b) Amendments or modifications to tariff sheets, sections or service agreements
prior to Commission action on a tariff filing. A natural gas company may file to
amend or modify a tariff or service
agreement contained in a tariff filing
upon which no Commission or delegated order has yet been issued. Such
filing will toll the notice period in section 4(d) of the Natural Gas Act for the
original filing, and establish a new date
on which the entire filing will become
effective, in the absence of Commission
action, no earlier than 31 days from the
date of the filing of the amendment or
modification.
(c) Withdrawal of suspended tariffs, executed service agreements, or parts thereof. A natural gas company may not,
within the period of suspension, withdraw a proposed tariff, executed service
agreement, or part thereof, that has
been suspended by order of the Com-
§ 154.206
mission, except by special permission
of the Commission granted upon application therefor and for good cause
shown.
(d) Changes in suspended tariffs, executed service agreements, or parts thereof.
A natural gas company may not, within the period of suspension, file any
change in a proposed tariff, executed
service agreement, or part thereof,
that has been suspended by order of the
Commission, except by special permission of the Commission granted upon
application therefor and for good cause
shown.
(e) Changes in tariffs, executed service
agreements, or parts thereof continued in
effect, and which were to be changed by
the suspended filing. A natural gas company may not, within the period of suspension, file any change in a tariff, executed service agreement, or part thereof, that is continued in effect by operation of the order of suspension, and
that was proposed to be changed by the
suspended filing, except:
(1) Under a previously approved tariff
provision permitting a limited rate
change, or
(2) By special permission of the Commission.
