Interstate gas price ceiling raised by Federal Power Commission
The Federal Power Commission nearly tripled interstate natural gas charges. Averaging with lower priced gas, the typical consumer's annual bill could rise about 15.6 dollars, with state variations from roughly 5.2 dollars in warm Florida to 23.14 dollars in cold Ohio. The commission set a nationwide ceiling of 1.42 dollars per thousand cubic feet for gas produced after December 31, 1974, and allowed a one-cent quarterly increase.
