Dear Mr Livens

Moomba to Adelaide Pipeline System extension of the lodgement date for revisions to the access arrangement

I refer to your letter of 13 April 2005 seeking an extension of time from 1 July 2005 to 1 October 2005 (or such later date as the ACCC considers appropriate) for the lodgement by Epic Energy South Australia Pty Ltd (EESA) under section 2.28 of the National Third Party Access Code for Natural Gas Pipeline Systems (Code) of proposed revisions to the Access Arrangement for the Moomba to Adelaide Pipeline System (MAPS).

In that letter, EESA provided an undertaking that it will commence the work required to prepare the revisions to the access arrangement if the National Competition Council makes a final recommendation to the Minister not to revoke coverage.  

On 27 April 2005, the Commission decided, pursuant to section 7.19 of the Code, to grant the requested extension until 1 October 2005.

Yours sincerely

Mike Buckley
