Although I wouldn't have any problem changing the order of the arguments, Jane is pushing the pooling issue very hard and she wants to see it up front. She has actually tried to make even more arguments on pooling, but Leslie and I have so far convinced her that doing so would not be helpful. We went over the draft with Barry, Janie and Stephanie last Thursday, and he did not raise any concerns with the order of the arguments. Leslie -- could you work in an "executive summary" up front with bullet points? Pooling is actually a very important issue for the day to day business on El Paso, and this is our only opportunity to make these arguments. It's a major concern because increasing the number of pools was a key component of El Paso's proposal that is the basis for this proceeding, and we don't think FERC staff fully appreciates the consequences of increasing the number of pools. In addition, a few of the shippers, including SoCal Gas, have indicated that they would like to have a system with receipt point rights all the way back to the wellheads, which the West Desk is totally opposed to, and unfortunately, FERC Staff data request questions seemed to indicate they might be seriously considering it as an option. Thanks for your input. So far, I haven't had any comments from anyone else. -----Original Message----- From: Steffes, James D. Sent: Fri 10/5/2001 7:53 AM To: Cantrell, Rebecca W.

Also, why the very lenghthy discussion of pooling points? The length makes the points after that discussion hard to appreciate. Maybe a list of bullet points up front?

The filing is ENA's comments on El Paso's proposal for receipt point allocation, focusing on discussions at the two technical conferences in the proceeding. Also, it may be that, based on further discussion with certain other shippers, we will modify our statement in Item No. 1 to to support a different version of the method for allocating receipt point rights, but only if there is strong opposition to our method. We don't want FERC to select the method that El Paso proposed originally. << File: RP00-336-002 Conf Comments Drft8.doc >>
