Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America; Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

February 1, 1994.
    Take notice that on January 24, 1994, Natural Gas Pipeline Company 
of America (Natural) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Sixth Revised Volume No. 1, Substitute Original Sheet No. 22, 
effective December 1, 1993.
    Natural states that the purpose of the filing is to reinstate, for 
the last ten months of fiscal year 1994 only, a separate Annual Charges 
Adjustment (ACA) charge for service provided on the facilities formerly 
owned and operated by Moraine Pipeline Company (Moraine). Natural 
states that the Commission approved the abandonment by Moraine and the 
acquisition by Natural of the Moraine facilities by order issued 
September 22, 1993 at Docket No. CP93-351-000 (September 22nd Order). 
The September 22nd Order required Natural to establish a separate 
incremental Part 284 rate and adopt as initial rates Moraine's existing 
rates for transportation on the acquired facilities.
    Natural also states that it previously filed and the Commission 
accepted rates for the Moraine facilities that did not include the ACA 
charge sought here. Such earlier filing was without prejudice to the 
then pending Request for Waiver of Payment of Annual Charges filed by 
Moraine on August 10, 1993 at Docket No. RM87-3-024. Subsequently, on 
January 6, 1994, the Commission issued an order denying Moraine's 
requested waiver of payment of ACA charges. Therefore, Natural further 
states that it should be afforded the opportunity to equitably recoup 
the entire ACA charges amount that was previously billed by the 
Commission and paid by Moraine; and as such, it is filing to reinstate 
effective December 1, 1993, the ACA charge of $.0026 per Mcf which had 
been previously filed by Moraine and accepted by Commission order to be 
effective October 1, 1993.
    Natural states that it requested waiver of the Commission's 
Regulations to the extent necessary for the sheet to become effective 
December 1, 1993. Natural also states that the acceptance of the tariff 
sheet is consistent with the September 22nd Order.
    Natural states that a copy of the filing was mailed to Natural's 
jurisdictional customers, intervenors in Docket No. CP93-351-000 and 
interested state regulatory agencies.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests should be filed 
on or before February 8, 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 
this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for 
public inspection in the public reference room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
