Southern Natural Gas Co.; GSR Cost Recovery Filing

January 4, 1994.
    Take notice that on December 30, 1993, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern) filed pursuant to section 4 of the Natural Gas Act, 15 
U.S.C. 717(c) (1988), to recover gas supply realignment (``GSR'') costs 
incurred as a consequence of Southern's implementation of restructured 
pipeline services under Order No. 636, et seq. Southern states that the 
tariff sheets identified below were filed in compliance with the 
Commission's orders in Southern's restructuring proceeding in Docket 
No. RS92-10-000 and the procedures set forth in Section 31 of the 
General Terms and Conditions of Southern's FERC Gas Tariff, Seventh 
Revised Volume No. 1:

First Revised Second Revised Sheet No. 15
First Revised Second Revised Sheet No. 17
First Revised Second Revised Sheet No. 18
Second Revised Sheet No. 29
Second Revised Sheet No. 30
Second Revised Sheet No. 31

    Southern states that the purpose of this filing is to set forth 
additional known and measurable GSR costs which have been paid or 
incurred by Southern since the filing on December 1, 1993 of its first 
GSR cost recovery filing in Docket No. RP94-67-000. Southern states 
that it sets forth in this filing the revised demand surcharges and 
revised interruptible rates that will be charged in connection with its 
recovery of GSR costs associated with the reformation of additional gas 
supply contracts that have become unnecessary and/or unmarketable as a 
result of the receipt by Southern of revised service elections from its 
customers following the mandatory restructuring by Southern of its 
pipeline services under Order No. 636. Southern requests that the 
tariff sheets be made effective on February 1, 1994.
    Southern states that it seeks to recover $53.8 million in GSR costs 
which has been paid or incurred in connection with the reformation of 
two gas supply contracts. Southern states that these GSR costs have 
arisen as a direct result of the need to realign gas supply contracts 
following customers' elections during restructuring to terminate their 
sales entitlements under Order No. 636. Southern further states that 
none of the GSR costs sought to be recovered in the instant filing 
constitute take-or-pay settlement costs under gas supply contracts 
existing at March 31, 1989 which would be subject to the provisions of 
Southern's 1988 take-or-pay settlement in Docket No. RP86-63-000.
    Southern states that copies of the filing were served upon 
Southern's jurisdictional customers and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure. All such motions or protests should be filed 
on or before January 11, 1994. Protests will be considered by the 
Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will 
not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person 
wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of 
Southern's filing are on file with the Commission and are available for 
public inspection.

Secretary.
