Pleases

FERC’s attempt at a “Solomonic solution” to the lingering feudover the function of Sea Robin Pipeline — dividing the offshoresystem in two, with the smaller part being declared transportationand the larger section found to be gathering-apparently has failedmiserably. Both pipelines and their customers have cited shortfallswith the decision and are seeking rehearing. If the Sea Robinruling is upheld by FERC on rehearing, the case — which has beenpending since 1995 — would be headed back to the courts for asecond time.
