NOTE 20    REGULATORY MATTERS

North Baja – On January 6, 2014, FERC approved North Baja's application to temporarily abandon compression associated with the original design of its pipeline system. This temporary abandonment will preserve replacement options while reducing maintenance requirements and related expenses without any reduction in capacity or impact to existing firm transportation service.

Tuscarora – On January 21, 2016, the FERC issued an Order (the January 21 Order) initiating an investigation pursuant to Section 5 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) to determine whether Tuscarora's existing rates for jurisdictional services are just and reasonable. Tuscarora is currently preparing its response as required by the January 21 Order. We cannot predict the outcome or potential impact of this proceeding to Tuscarora at this time.
