Filing and Reporting Requirements for Interstate Natural Gas 
Companies Rate Schedules and Tariffs and Revisions to Uniform System of 
Accounts Forms, Statements, and Reporting Requirements for Natural Gas 
Companies; Notice of Data Availability for Working Groups

February 29, 1996.
    Take notice that data is available on the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (Commission's) bulletin board system (BBS) for review by 
the Working Group--Forms and Working Group--Filings. The following 
information is now available on the Gas Pipeline Data (GPD) portion of 
the BBS:

    --The meeting summaries for the working group meetings held on 
February 7 and 8, 1996, and
    --The draft specifications for filing the Form No. 11 both on paper 
and electronically, incorporating the changes discussed at the working 
Group--Forms meeting held February 7.

    In addition to the above, the Commission has enabled the upload 
feature of its bulletin board system for use by the working group 
participants and other interested persons. Any files uploaded to the 
Commission's bulletin board are not considered filed with the 
Commission. These files are solely for review by the working group and 
other interested parties to help in the development of formats for 
electronic filing requirements specified in Order Nos. 581 and 582.
    The Commission invites written comments on the draft specifications 
for filing Form No. 11. Such comments may be uploaded to the 
Commission's BBS or addressed to Richard A. White, Office of General 
Counsel, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, D.C. 20426. Comments should be received by March 5, 1996. 
We encourage commenters to submit their written comments also on a 3\1/
2\'' diskette in Rich Text Format or ASCII so they can be posted on the 
Commission's bulletin board. it is preferable for comments uploaded to 
the Commission's BBS to be in ASCII format so files may be viewed on-
line and easily converted to other software formats.
    The upload option, available under the Order No. 581/582 Working 
Group Menu, is designed to permit members of the public to upload a 
file to the Commission's bulletin board. To do so, select upload from 
the Working Group menu. You will be prompted for the File Mask. Enter 
the Drive, directory, if applicable, and the filename. If more than one 
file is to be uploaded, enter the file mask using wildcard characters 
for the unique portion of the filename. For example:

File Mask? C:/FERC/Form--11.txt

or

File Mask? C:/*tst.wk1 to represent Altst.wk1 B1tst.wk1, etc.

    You will be prompted to enter a file description. A file 
description must accompany every file. The basic file description can 
be no more than 70 characters. You may, if you wish, enter a more 
detailed description. After typing the detailed description, select 
send to associate it with your file. Other menu features are explained 
under the Help option.
    The system will not allow you to upload a file with the same name 
as a file already on the bulletin board. It is preferable to 
incorporate your company initials or some other unique identifier in 
the file name to distinguish your files from others files.
    While the upload featured is in its testing phase, files uploaded 
to the Commission's bulletin board will not be immediately available 
for download. The party uploading the file may, however, check the file 
list to ensure the file uploaded properly.
