[Docket No. RP95-425-001]


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

July 23, 1996.
    Take notice that on July 18, 1996, Transwestern Pipeline company 
(Transwestern) tendered for filing an amendment to its August 31, 1995 
tariff filing to recover certain take-or-pay settlement, buy-out, buy-
down contract reformation costs (TCR II costs).
    Trnaswestern states that on May 21, 1996 it and the parties 
protesting the August 31, 1995 filing have resolved all issues in this 
proceeding as to the eligibility of severance taxes and royalty 
payments. In addition, the recovery of such taxes and royalty payments 
will be pursuant to the agreed-upon eligibility standards contained in 
the May 21 Stipulation in Docket No. RP95-271 and RP94-227, and as 
provided in this Amendment in Docket No. RP95-271 and RP94-227, and as 
provided in this Amendment. The Amendment is subject to Commission 
approval of the May 21, 1996 Stipulation.
    As a result of the determinations described above, Transwestern 
states that it is amending its August 31st filing to remove 
approximately $159,121.09 of TCR II costs from the TCR II cost recovery 
mechanism. Transwestern further agrees it will not refile these costs 
in a future TCR II cost proceeding. Since this total amount has a 
minimal impact on Transwestern's TCR II surcharge (i.e. $0.000070 for 
Transwestern's highest load factor shipper), Transwestern shall reflect 
the effect of removing such costs in its upcoming annual RCR II true-up 
filing to be effective November 1, 1996 and there will be no effect to 
the tariff sheets currently on file with the Commission.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C., 20426, in accordance with Rule 211 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such protests should 
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. Copies of this filing are 
on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
