    Northwest states that the changes reflect an overall change in its 
jurisdictional rates for the twelve months ended January 31, 1994, 
adjusted for known and measurable changes through October 31, 1994, to 
provide additional revenues related to an increased revenue requirement 
and redesign of rates of approximately $22.5 million.
    Northwest further states that the increase in jurisdictional rates 
reflected in its filing is necessary to permit Northwest the 
opportunity to recover its revenue requirements due to increased costs 
of operating its system primarily because of capital additions and to 
provide for the redesign of rates based on reduced contract demand 
resulting from the expiration of a firm transportation contract.
    Northwest's filing includes various other minor changes to its 
tariffs to provide for: (1) A change to the interruptible cost 
allocation amount applicable to interruptible revenue crediting 
procedures, (2) modification to the annual contract quantity tariff 
provisions applicable to Rate Schedule TF-2, (3) a clarification to the 
Rate Schedule T-1 Btu/Mcf conversion factor which is applicable to that 
service's Daily Transportation Contract Quantity, and (4) a provision 
whereby Northwest will credit to firm transportation shippers any 
revenues it receives under discounted contracts over and above the 
amount credited to cost of service in rate design.
    Northwest also submitted with the filing a pro forma index of 
Shippers to illustrate the contracts and services which are expected to 
be effective at the time when the new rates become effective.
    Northwest states that this filing was served on each of its 
customers and affected state commissions pursuant to Sec. 154.16(b) of 
the Commission Regulations.
    Any person desiring to be heard or 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 Sec. 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure. All such motions or protests should be filed on 
or before May 10, 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.
