Equitrans, Inc.; Proposed Compliance Filing

January 26, 1994.
    Take notice that on January 14, 1994, Equitrans, Inc. (Equitrans) 
tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised 
Volume No. 1, the following primary and alternate tariffs sheets:

Primary Sheets:
    Sub 2nd, Sub 1st Revised Sheet No. 5
    Sub 2nd, Sub 1st Revised Sheet No. 6
    Sub 2nd, Sub 1st Revised Sheet No. 8
    Substitute First Revised Sheet No. 260
Alternate Sheets:
    Alt Sub 2nd, Sub 1st Revised Sheet No. 5
    Alt Sub 2nd, Sub 1st Revised Sheet No. 6
    Alt Sub 2nd, Sub 1st Revised Sheet No. 8

    These sheets contain a proposed effective date of January 1, 1994.
    On December 1, 1994, Equitrans filed revised rate sheets to 
implement the 1994 GRI funding mechanism. By Order issued on December 
30, 1993 the Commission approved Equitrans' tariff sheets subject to 
certain conditions. The Commission's Order required Equitrans to 
reflect on its rate sheets the fact that the GRI demand and commodity 
surcharges may be discounted to a minimum surcharge of zero. In 
addition, the Commission required the inclusion of tariff language 
explaining the determination of proper load factors for new customers. 
Equitrans states that it is making the instant filing to comply with 
the Commission's Order.
    Equitrans states that it is filing its rate sheets in primary and 
alternate forms. On November 10, 1993, Equitrans made a filing in 
Docket No. RS92-15 and RP93-62 to reduce its approved transportation 
rates due to a miscalculation related to billing determinants. In its 
initial filing in this docket, Equitrans included rate sheets which 
showed the reduced base transportation rates based on the November 10 
filing. To date, however, the Commission has not acted on the November 
10 filing. Therefore, Equitrans states that the primary sheets reflect 
the lower base rates included in the November 10 filing, while the 
alternate rate sheets include Equitrans' currently approved base 
transportation rates. The rate and tariff provisions concerning the GRI 
funding requirement are the same for both the primary and alternate 
sheets.
    Any person desiring to protest this application should file a 
protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North 
Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 
385.211 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests 
should be filed on or before February 2, 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. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection in the public reference room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
