Columbia Gas Transmission Corp.; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

January 3, 1996.
    Take notice that on December 29, 1995, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia) filed a motion to place its suspended rates into 
effect on February 1, 1996, and tendered for filing the revised tariff 
sheets to its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1 and Original 
Volume No. 2, listed on Appendix A to the filing. The revised tariff 
sheets on Appendix A bear an issue date of December 29, 1995, and a 
proposed effective date of February 1, 1996.
    Columbia states that it is also tendered for filing the revised 
tariff sheets listed on Appendix B to the filing, which bear an issue 
date of December 29, 1995, and a proposed effective date of may 1, 
1996. Columbia states that it is not moving the Appendix B tariff 
sheets into effect at this time, but is reserving the right to move 
them into effect as of May 1, 1996, or at any time thereafter. Columbia 
states that the revised filing is being made in accordance with the 
Commission's suspension order issued August 31, 1995 in this proceeding 
and 18 CFR 154.206.
    Columbia states that in accordance with an agreement between 
Columbia, Commission Staff and intervenors, the Appendix A tariff 
sheets reflect a 25% reduction of the filed-for increase (including the 
impact of the proposed Stranded Facilities Charge (SFC) and Electric 
Power Cost Adjustment (EPCA)) to all rates except the gathering and 
processing rates. However, Columbia states that the gathering and 
processing rates set forth on the Appendix A tariff sheets reflect the 
lower May 1, 1996, rates for those services. The Appendix A tariff 
sheets also reflect the correction of a classification error, and 
revisions to the Stranded Facilities Charge and Section 46 of the 
General Terms and Conditions of Columbia's tariff required by the 
suspension order. The Appendix B tariff sheets reflect the correction 
of a classification error, the changes required by the suspension 
order, and an adjustment removing certain base period expenses in 
accordance with Columbia's recent settlement in Docket No. GP94-02, et 
al. The filing and the Appendix A and Appendix B tariff sheets are 
explained in greater detail in the transmittal letter accompanying the 
filing.
    Columbia states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all 
firm customers, interested interruptible customers and affected state 
regulatory commissions.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Rule 211 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure. Pursuant to Section 154.210 of the 
Commission's Regulations, all 

[[Page 646]]
such protests must be filed not later than 12 days after the date of 
the filing noted above. 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 proceedings. Copies of Columbia's 
filings are on file with the Commission and are available for public 
inspection in the Public Reference Room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
