IN RE: Atlanta Gas Light Company’s 2004-2007 Capacity Supply Plan PROCEDURAL AND SCHEDULING ORDERPRELIMINARY MATTERSThis case marks Atlanta Gas Light Company’s (“AGLC” or “Company”) second complete capacity supply plan filing under the Georgia Natural Gas Competition and Deregulation Act, O.C.G.A. § 46-4-150 et seq. (“the Code”). The Code, particularly O.C.G.A. § 46-4-155 (e), directs that at least every third year following the date when the rates for commodity sales service within a delivery group(s) become no longer subject to Georgia Public Service Commission (“Commission”) approval nor to the provisions of O.C.G.A. § 46-2-26.5, AGLC shall file, on or before August 1 of such year, a capacity plan that designates the array of available interstate capacity assets selected by AGL to for the purpose of making gas available on its system for firm distribution service to retail customers in such delivery group(s). In October 1998, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 46-4-155(d)(3), AGLC's rates for commodity sales service within each delivery group in Georgia became no longer subject to Commission approval and no longer subject to the provisions of O.C.G.A. § 46-2-26.5. On September 14, 2001, the Commission issued its Order for the 2001-2004 Capacity Supply Plan. The Commission therefore orders this Procedural and Scheduling Order to identify the issues, establish discovery procedures, including expedited response times, and establish a hearing schedule. To expedite discovery given the short statutory schedule for this case, AGL is directed to meet with the Adversary Staff (“Staff”) and Consumers’ Utility Counsel (“CUC”) to arrange a discovery procedure acceptable to the three parties. If the Company, Staff and CUC are unable to mutually agree on discovery procedures, the Commission will provide for such procedures. The Commission has jurisdiction pursuant to the Code. Atlanta Gas Light Company is hereby made a party and shall be bound by the Commission’s rulings in this docket and is directed to publish notice of this proceeding. The Adversary Staff are appointed as agents of the Commission for discovery purposes, and may conduct depositions if necessary, and shall issue notice of any such dispositions. Any use of informal discovery methods is not intended to augment or abridge any existing discovery rights and responsibilities. In view of the expedited statutory requirements, the Commission encourages the parties to work together and reach agreements, if possible, on non-contested issues. Pursuant to the Commission’s Utility Rule 515-2-1-.04, AGLC is directed to give first notice of this proceeding in this docket not later than thirty days after the issuance of this Procedural and Scheduling Order. The following is established as the schedule for this docket.
