Summary

Amends the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 to require a pipeline to carry natural gas, upon application by a producer or purchaser of natural gas, unless the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission finds that: (1) the pipeline has no available capacity to carry such gas; (2) carriage of such gas would place an undue burden on the pipeline; (3) construction of new facilities by the pipeline would be required; or (4) carriage of the gas would impair the pipeline's ability to give adequate service to its existing customers. Sets the consideration for such transportation at five cents per million Btu's plus the cost of transportation.
