Transwestern Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

August 15, 1995.
    Take notice that on August 11, 1995, Transwestern Pipeline Company 

[[Page 43464]]
    (Transwestern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Second Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on the filing, 
with a proposed effective of September 1, 1995:
    On May 2, 1995, Transwestern filed a Stipulation and Agreement 
(Settlement) in order to resolve a number of issues, including the 
allocation of approximately $51.3 million of costs associated with 
Southern California Gas Company's (SoCalGas) imminent relinquishment of 
capacity to Transwestern. On July 27, 1995, the Commission approved the 
proposed Settlement (``July 27th Order'').
    Transwestern states that the purpose of this filing is to submit 
tariff sheets in compliance with the Settlement and the Commission's 
July 27th Order.
    Transwestern further states that the tariff sheet being submitted 
in this filing conform to the Pro Forma tariff sheets submitted with 
the Settlement with the following exceptions:
    (1) 8th Revised Sheet No. 2--This sheet is being submitted to 
reflect the cancellation of an exchange agreement between Transwestern 
and El Paso Natural Gas Company. This cancellation is necessitated by 
Transwestern's abandonment, in Docket No. CP95-70, of certain 
facilities by sale to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Transwestern 
Gathering Company (TGC). The abandonment of the exchange agreement was 
approved as part of the Settlement in the July 27th Order
    (2) 5th Revised Sheet No. 2A--This sheet is being submitted to 
reflect the cancellation of an exchange agreement between Transwestern 
and ANR Pipeline Company. This cancellation is necessitated by 
Transwestern's abandonment, in Docket No. CP95-70, of certain 
facilities by sale to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Transwestern 
Gathering Company (TGC). The abandonment of the exchange agreement was 
approved as part of the Settlement in the July 27th Order.
    (3) 112th Revised Sheet No. 5; 17th Revised Sheet No. 5A; 12th 
Revised Sheet No. 5A.01; 9th Revised Sheet No. 5A.02; and 9th Revised 
Sheet No. 5A.03--The Pro Forma sheets submitted with the Settlement 
reflected information concerning a TCR II Reservation Surcharge that 
would be added to the reservation charges shown on these sheets. The 
July 27th Order authorizes Transwestern to recover all eligible TCR II 
costs not previously filed for recovery which are incurred through 
December 31, 1998, to be filed no later than ninety days thereafter, 
not to exceed a total of $35 million. Transwestern has not yet filed 
for the recovery of any TCR II costs. When this filing is made the 
above-noted sheets will be revised to reflect the information 
concerning TCR II shown on the Pro Forma sheets. Likewise, Transwestern 
will file an Original Sheet No. 5B.01 to reflect information concerning 
TCR II shown on Pro Forma Sheet No. 5B.01.
    (4) 3rd Revised Sheet No. 94--This sheet is being revised to 
reflect the Commission's requirement, in the July 27th Order, that 
Transwestern include language in its tariff standards to guard against 
the risk of affiliate abuse or undue preference in the provision of 
jurisdictional service.
    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 August 22, 1995. 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.
