Plain-English 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.
