Black Marlin Pipeline Co.; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas 
Tariff

August 16, 1994.
    Take notice that on August 12, 1994, Black Marlin Pipeline Company 
(Black Marlin) tendered for filing to become part of Black Marlin's 
FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff 
sheets, proposed to be effective September 1, 1994:

Second Revised Sheet No. 212
Second Revised Sheet No. 213

    Black Marlin states that in Order No. 636, et seq. the Commission 
permitted pipelines to allocate capacity on the basis of economic value 
to shippers rather than on a first-come, first-served basis which had 
been established as the standard under Order No. 436. Virtually all 
pipelines now schedule and curtail interruptible capacity based on the 
price, or rate, being paid for such capacity with a pro rata 
allocation, if necessary, among shippers paying the same price.
    Although Black Marlin is not a capacity constrained pipeline and 
scheduling and curtailment priorities have not been issues in the Black 
Marlin proceedings, Black Marlin states that it is filing herein to 
change and clarify the operation of the scheduling and curtailment 
provisions of its tariff. The currently effective Section 9, Scheduling 
and Curtailment, of the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) of Black 
Marlin's FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1 provides that 
scheduling and curtailment will be based on the rate being paid for 
capacity within each scheduling and curtailment category. However, this 
Section also retains language regarding the first-come, first-served 
basis and priority dates which were originally established pursuant to 
Order No. 436.
    Black Marlin states that it is filing herein to eliminate language 
regarding the first-come, first-served methodology and priority dates 
so that it is clear that scheduling and curtailment, within each 
scheduling and/or curtailment category, on Black Marlin is done by 
price, and pro rata at each price level.
    Black Marlin requests that the Commission grant any and all waivers 
of its rules, regulations, and orders as may be necessary, specifically 
(but not limited to) Section 154.22 of the Commission's Regulations, so 
as to permit the tariff sheets submitted herewith to become effective 
September 1, 1994.
    Black Marlin further states that copies of the filing have been 
mailed to each of its customers affected by this filing and interested 
state commissions.
    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, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426, in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests should 
be filed on or before August 23, 1994. Protests will be considered by 
the Commission in determining the appropriate actions to be taken, but 
will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceedings. Any 
person wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. 
Copies of the filing are on file with the Commission and are available 
for public inspection in the public reference room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
