A bill to clarify the definition of abuse in the Natural Gas Policy Act.

Summary

Amends the Natural Gas Policy Act to define the term "abuse" to include not only misrepresentation but: (1) imprudence on the part of the company; and (2) any pipeline company-producer contract which materially prevents the pipeline from responding to changes in customer demand or other market forces. Sets forth contract clauses which if found in a producer-pipeline contract will give rise to a rebuttable presumption that a contract materially prevents a pipeline from responding to changes in customer demand or other market forces.
