"``The commission now sets for hearing the issue of whether El Paso Pipeline and or El Paso Merchant engaged in affiliate abuse or violated the affiliate standards in bidding for or awarding the El Paso contracts, including the transportation discount granted by Mojave,'' FERC said in the Monday order.",

"And that evidence has not changed,'' said Norma Dunn, a spokeswoman for El Paso.",
"``We're very confident that they will rule in the same fashion again,'' she added.",
"In late March, FERC ordered the first El Paso proceeding to determine if the company exercised market power to drive up the price of natural gas in California.",
"But FERC also rejected at that time allegations that El Paso Pipeline had improperly favored its affiliates during the so-called ``open season'' when pipelines accept bids for contract deliveries.",
"The new FERC action came after California regulators alleged that El Paso Merchant received secret information from Mojave during the open season."
