Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

August 27, 1996.
    Take notice that on August 23, 1996, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Seventh 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets to become effective 
September 1, 1996:

Second Revised Sheet No. 139a
Third Revised Sheet No. 140
First Revised Sheet No. 140a
Second Revised Sheet No. 141
Second Revised Sheet No. 142

    Southern states that the purpose of this filing is to revise the 
monthly cashout mechanism of its imbalance resolution procedures to 
provide that the tolerance level for shippers who accrue monthly 
imbalances in the same direction as the net system imbalance for that 
month will change from two percent to one percent and that imbalance 
percentages will be based on the actual imbalance at the end of the 
month. Southern also states that monthly imbalances of less than or 
equal to 1,000 MMBtu will be priced at the index price and that the 
last weekly posting used from Natural Gas Intelligence Gas Price Index 
for determining the monthly low price, high price, and index price will 
be the posting in the last issue of the month. Southern has requested 
that these sheets be made effective as of September 1, 1996.
    Southern states that copies of the filing will be served upon its 
shippers and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR Sections 385.211 and 385.214). All such motions 
and 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.
