Michigan Gas Storage Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

July 3, 1996.

    Take notice that on June 28, 1996, Michigan Gas Storage Company 
(MGS) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Volume No. 1, 
the following tariff sheets, to become effective August 1, 1996: the 
title page and Sheet Nos. 1 through 8, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 
29, 33, 34, 35, 41, 52, 56 through 64, 67, 68, 70, and 71. The proposed 
changes would increase revenues from jurisdictional service by 
approximately $5.5 million based on the 12-month period ending March 
31, 1996, as adjusted. Various other tariff sheet changes are also 
included, notably adding an ACA clause and changes in nomination 
procedures.
    MGS states that the filed tariff sheets implement a general cost of 
service increase from that approved by the Commission in MGS' last rate 
filing (RP93-159-000). MGS states that the reasons for the filing are 
to avoid a revenue deficiency caused by increasing operating and 
maintenance expenses (including the amortization of certain 
environmental cleanup costs), to include in cost of service the costs 
of additional pipeline facilities that are to be constructed by MGS and 
in service by the end of the test period, and to satisfy a filing 
requirement included in the settlement of its previous rate case.

    Copies of the filing were served upon MGS's jurisdictional 
customers and the Michigan Public Service Commission.
    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, NE., Washington, DC 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 as provided 
in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 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.
