CIPL files to increase pipeline tariff

Cook Inlet Pipe Line Co. has filed a revised tariff with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, proposing to increase the rate for petroleum transportation from Granite Point or Trading Bay on the west side of Cook Inlet to CIPL’s Drift River terminal from $3.76 per barrel to $4.47 per barrel. The new tariff includes a 60 cent per barrel surcharge for dismantlement, removal and remediation, Harvest Alaska, the pipeline’s owner, told RCA in a Dec. 1 letter.

Harvest said the existing annual intrastate revenue for Cook Inlet Pipe Line Co. is $17,051,000; the proposal annual intrastate revenue would be $17,802,000.

Shippers affected are CIPL’s intrastate shippers, Harvest said, typically consisting of fewer than three shippers.

RCA said CIPL has requested an effective date of Jan. 1 for the tariff filing.

Comments on the tariff revision, TL58-303, are due to the commission by 5 p.m. Dec. 22.
