Sooner Gas Price Case Sent To Judges
Attorneys for the Oklahoma Corporation Commission and the Federal Power Commission agreed to let a three judge federal court settle their dispute over natural gas prices without further testimony. The court will decide on the present record and stipulations with reply briefs due by June 30. The FPC had filed suit last December to halt two O C C orders setting minimum prices at the well. The commission called the orders conservation measures to prevent waste. The FPC contends the orders amount to price fixing and asserts it holds sole power to set interstate gas prices.
