Transwestern Pipeline Co.; Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

April 28, 1994.
    Take notice that on April 25, 1994, Transwestern Pipeline Company 
(Transwestern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheet, with a 
proposed effective date of April 25, 1994:

3rd Revised Sheet No. 5M

    On August 6, 1994, the Commission issued its Order on Rehearing and 
Terminating Technical Conference, in the above-referenced proceedings, 
directing Transwestern within thirty days to file revised tariff sheets 
to reflect the removal of:
    (1) $4,200,000 of producer pricing settlement amounts,
    (2) $2,219,314 of prior period adjustments, and
    (3) $510,146 from Transwestern's direct bill to its former sales 
customers, and to refund with interest all the costs excluded from its 
Account No. 191 direct bill filings (August 6 order). In the August 6 
order, the Commission specifically provided that Transwestern would be 
permitted to propose ``a prospective charge to recover these costs from 
its current open access transportation customers.''
    Transwestern requested rehearing of the August 6 order and, in 
addition, filed motions requesting additional time with which to comply 
with the requirements of the August 6 order, which extensions were 
granted by the Commission. On March 25, 1994, the Commission issued its 
``Order Denying Rehearing,'' directing Transwestern to comply with the 
requirements of the August 6 order and reiterated that Transwestern 
could file to recover the disallowed costs through a mechanism that 
does not constitute a surcharge to its ``former sales customers based 
upon their past sales contract demand'' (``March 25 order''). 
Accordingly and without waiving its rights to file an alternate rate 
mechanism to recover the disallowed costs, Transwestern is filing a 
revised tariff sheet in compliance with the August 6 and March 25 
orders. The only changes Transwestern is proposing in Sheet No. 5M are 
to adjust the direct bill amounts in accordance with such orders and to 
explain in footnote one that section 24, ``Gas Supply Inventory 
Charge'', has been canceled.
    Transwestern requested any waiver of any Commission Regulation and 
its tariff provisions as may be required to allow the tariff sheet 
referenced above to become effective on April 25, 1994.
    Transwestern states that copies of the filing were served on its 
gas utility customers, interested state commissions, and all parties to 
this proceeding.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Rule 211 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such protests should 
be filed on or before May 5, 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
