Mississippi River Transmission Corporation; Notice of Proposed 
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

August 27, 1996.
    Take notice that on August 22, 1996, Mississippi River Transmission 
Corporation (MRT) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets to be 
effective July 1, 1996:

Seventeenth Revised Sheet No. 5
Seventeenth Revised Sheet No. 6
Fourteenth Revised Sheet No. 7

    MRT states that the purpose of this filing is to adjust its rates 
to reflect the removal of its Gas Supply Realignment Costs (GSRC) 
included in MRT's GSRC Reservation Surcharges and that portion of the 
GSRC included in the volumetric rates charged to MRT's ITS customers. 
MRT collects such GSRC pursuant to Section 16.3 of the General Terms 
and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, and 
the Base Stipulation and Agreement approved by the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission in Docket Nos. RP93-4, RP94-68 and RP94-190. 
MRT's current recovery period expired March 31, 1996 for its price 
differential GSRC and June 30, 1996 for its buyout/buydown GSRC, both 
as approved for recovery in Docket No. RP96-890. Personnel changes and 
a company-wide restructuring of MRT's operations is the reason for 
failure to file to remove its GSRC prior to the conclusion of its 
permitted recovery periods.
    MRT further states it discovered this oversight in time to remove 
all GSRC for its customers' July, 1996 invoices, and any overcollection 
of the Price Differential GSRC that MRT has collected will be credited 
or refunded to customers, with interest, when MRT makes its next Price 
Differential GSRC recovery filing, with a proposed effective date of 
October 1, 1996.
    MRT states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all of its 
affected customers and State Commissions of Arkansas, Missouri, 
Illinois and Louisiana.
    Any person desiring to be heard or protest the subject filing 
should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.211 and CFR 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 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
