Court reverses federal order on gas firm
The U S court of appeals ruled East Ohio Gas Co not subject to federal regulation under the natural gas act, reversing FPC orders. The decision centers on lack of interstate commerce as the company serves 70 northeastern Ohio communities with 650 miles of pipelines to Hope Natural Gas Co. and Panhandle Eastern Pipeline. The court ordered FPC actions to be reversed as they impose inventory, cost, and annual reporting requirements, which East Ohio says would cost 1.5 to 2 million dollars.
