Gas rate increases urged for Permian Basin by FPC judge
Washington AP A federal hearing examiner recommended natural gas rate increases from 18 to 111 percent for the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico. The increases would take effect automatically within 40 days unless parties or the FPC intervene. Judge Nahum Litt also proposed price boosts tied to exploration and development of new gas sources and allowed 75 percent pass-through of certain tax increases. The plan aims to spur development and move more gas into interstate markets, contrasting with Nixon administration talks to roll back federal controls.
