Enterprise Texas Pipeline LLC; Notice
of Staff Protest To Petition for Rate
Approval
1. Commission staff hereby protests
pursuant to the section 284.123(g)(4)(i)
of the Commission’s regulations,1 the
Petition for Rate Approval pursuant to
section 284.123(b)(2) filed by Enterprise

000 and PR10–14–001,2 Enterprise filed
a new petition for rate approval
pursuant to 18 CFR 284.123(b)(2)
proposing a new rate applicable to its
Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA) section
311 service. Enterprise elected to use
the Commission’s new optional notice
procedures set forth in section
284.123(g). Enterprise proposes to
increase its firm and interruptible
transportation services for Rate Zone
1—Legacy Assets and Rate Zone 2—
Sherman Extension. Enterprise also
proposes to revise its Statement of
Operating Conditions (SOC) applicable
to its transportation services performed
pursuant to NGPA section 311, which it
states is updated solely to reflect the
new proposed rates. Enterprise states it
has not proposed any changes to the
operating terms and conditions of its
SOC.
2. Commission staff notes that
Enterprise has not adequately supported
its filing and shown that the proposed
rates are fair and equitable. For instance,
Enterprise has not provided sufficient
support for the discount adjustment
used in calculating the billing
determinants. In addition, Enterprise
has not provided adequate explanation
and support for its proposed cost of
service, rate base, cost of capital, and
cost allocation, among other issues.
3. Commission staff’s specific
concerns include, in particular,
Enterprise’s development of its discount
adjustment in designing rates. For
example, in Zone 2 the proposed rates
are significantly higher than the rates
Enterprise proposed in its prior rate
case, Docket No. PR10–14–000, even
though the cost of service for Zone 2 is
20 percent lower and the throughput is
55 percent higher using the same rate
design methodology and imputed
billing determinants from its prior case.
Similarly, using the same methodology
to design rates for Zone 1, Enterprise
proposes a rate of $0.7636 per Dth, yet
the unit cost prior to any discount
adjustment is $0.2006 per Dth.
4. Commission staff has concerns that
Enterprise has not classified any costs as
variable costs when calculating its rates.
Enterprise calculated straight-fixed
variable rates for Zone 2 but did not
classify any costs as variable cost rates.
However, since Enterprise included
$91.6 million in Account No. 368,
Compressor Station Equipment, it
follows that there should be variable
costs associated with operating and
maintaining compressors. Moreover,
Account No. 855, Other Fuel and Power
for Compressor Stations, typically
