Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Filing of 
Calculations of Excess Revenues

March 18, 1996.
    Take notice that on March 13, 1996, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), filed its Calculations of Excess Revenues.
    Columbia states that prior to February 1, 1996, in accordance with 
the former Section 37 (Crediting of Excess Revenues) of the General 
Terms and Conditions (GTC) of Columbia's FERC Gas Tariff, Second 
Revised Volume No. 1, Columbia credited Excess Revenues from certain 
rate schedules to applicable Firm Transportation Customers. Pursuant to 
GTC Section 37.3, Columbia was required to calculate the Excess 
Revenues for each Applicable Rate Schedule at the earlier of the end of 
each 12-month period such rates were in effect, or as of the date such 
rates were superseded by a subsequent rate proceeding. Moreover, within 
60 days after the end of each such period, Columbia was required to 
return the Excess Revenues through dollar credits

to Firm Transportation Customer bills. Finally, GTC Section 37.3 
required the concurrent filing of Excess Revenues calculations for each 
Applicable Rate Schedule with the Commission.
    On August 1, 1995, Columbia filed a Section 4(e) general rate 
proceeding in Docket No. RP95-408, proposing, inter alia, termination 
of Excess Revenues crediting and deletion of Section 37 of the GTC. By 
order dated August 31, 1995, the Commission allowed Columbia to 
terminate GTC Section 37 effective February 1, 1996.
    Consistent with the former GTC Section 37, Columbia states that it 
is returning such Excess Revenues concurrently with the filing of this 
report through dollar credits to Firm Transportation Customer bills. 
Columbia also states that it did not meet the revenue threshold for 
Rate Schedule ITS, nor did it collect any revenues under Rate Schedule 
ISS during the three-month period of November 1, 1995, through January 
31, 1996. Columbia further states that it is crediting $181,186 of 
Excess Revenues attributable to Rate Schedule SIT. Columbia further 
reserves its right to make a subsequent filing to reflect adjustments 
applicable to prior Excess Revenues crediting periods.
    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, 888 First 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 must be filed on or 
before March 25, 1996. 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
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
