Pacific Interstate Transmission Co.; Intent to Recover Costs of 
Gas Purchase Agreement Restructuring

June 7, 1994.
    Take notice that on June 2, 1994, Pacific Interstate Transmission 
Co., (PITCO) tendered for filing its notice of intention to recover 
from its sole customer Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) on or 
immediately following August 15, 1994, pursuant to PITCO's cost-of-
service tariff, $192 million in payments made to Northwest Alaska 
Pipeline Company's (Northwest Alaskan) supplier, Pan-Alberta Gas Ltd. 
(Pan-Alberta) as consideration for revisions to the terms of gas 
purchase agreements among PITCO and Northwest Alaskan, Northwest 
Alaskan and Pan-Alberta.
    PITCO states that the revised gas purchase agreement's pricing 
mechanism is designed to assure that PITCO's sales to SoCalGas will be 
at a market sensitive rate. PITCO further states that the term of the 
agreement will be reduced by ten years, from a termination date of 
October 31, 2012 to October 31, 2003.
    PITCO states that recovery by PITCO of its payment to Pan-Alberta 
shall be achieved by a single payment from SoCalGas. SoCalGas, with the 
prior approval of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) 
will raise the necessary funds and pursuant to CPCU authorization will 
recover a portion of its payment to PITCO from its customers over a 
five-year period.
    PITCO states that Northwest Alaskan shall make the necessary tariff 
filings to reflect the new pricing provisions and terms of the sale 
agreements.
    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, NW., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.214 and 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests should 
be filed on or before June 14, 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.

Secretary.
