FPC directs Eastward Allocation of West Coast Gas
The Federal Power Commission ordered rapid redistribution of surplus West Coast natural gas to the Transcontinental Gas Line Corp for eastern states from North Carolina to New York. Chairman Richard Dunham noted about 150 000 cubic feet daily was intended for Washington and Oregon but could be replaced by other fuels. The agency warned several pipelines face two day supplies for top-priority customers and outlined new rules allowing interstate pipelines to buy from intrastate suppliers at up to 2.25 per thousand cubic feet, expediting gas deliveries through pipeline trading. The East will receive West Coast surplus without waiting for full cross-country travel.

Ohio River flood threat eased by January snow storm
Ohio River flood risk may be reduced as January’s 30.3 inch snow lands on unfrozen ground, hydrologist Thomas McPhillips says. Ground remains dry, absorbing runoff, with officials noting no flood would result from snow alone. Temperatures thawed briefly but colder spells and more subzero weather are forecast.
