NATURAL GAS PIPELINE CO.
v.
PANOMA CORPORATION ET AL.
Per Curiam.
In these cases Oklahoma has attempted to fix a minimum price to be paid for natural gas, after its production and gathering has ended, by a company which transports the gas for resale in interstate commerce. We held in Phillips Petroleum Co. v. Wisconsin, 347 U. S. 672, that such a sale and transportation cannot be regulated by a State but are subject to the exclusive regulation of the Federal Power Commission. The Phillips case, therefore, controls this one.
We disagree with the contention of the appellees that Cities Service Gas Co. v. Peerless Oil and Gas Co., 340 U. S. 179, and Phillips Petroleum Co. v. Oklahoma, 340 U. S. 190, are applicable here. In those cases we were dealing with constitutional questions and not the construction of the Natural Gas Act. The latter question was specifically not passed upon in those cases.
Reversed.
Mr. Justice Douglas,
being of opinion that State regulation of price is permissible until the Federal price regulation permitted by Phillips Petroleum Co. v. Wisconsin, 347 U. S. 672, is imposed, dissents.
Mr. Justice Harlan took no part in the consideration or decision of these cases.

See 355 U. S., at 392, citing Phillips Petroleum Co. v. Wisconsin, 347 U. S. 672 (1954), and Natural Gas Pipeline Co. v. Panoma Corp., 349 U. S. 44 (1955); see n. 16, supra. The instant case does not raise a Commerce Clause issue because the parties agree that the gas is not in interstate commerce and because Congress, by §602, authorized the State to regulate its price.

The federal regulatory scheme leaves no room either for direct state regulation of the prices of interstate wholesales of natural gas, Natural Gas Pipeline Co. v. Panoma Corp., 349 U. S. 44, or for state regulations which would indirectly achieve the same result.10 These state orders necessarily deal with matters which directly affect the ability of the Federal Power Commission to regulate comprehensively and effectively the transporta…

Lennon v. Immigr. & Naturalization Serv., 527 F.2d 187 (2d Cir. 1975)…cannot go behind the plea. Rassano v. INS, 377 F. 2d 971, 974 (7th Cir. 1967); Giammario v.
