[Docket No. RP96-391-000]


Raton Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

October 2, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 27, 1996, Raton Gas Transmission 
Company (Raton) tendered for filing First Revised Tariff Sheets 4, 10, 
18 and 23 to become effective October 1, 1996. Raton receives upstream 
transportation and storage services from Colorado Interstate Gas 
Company (CIG); Raton's Rate Schedule FT-1, Firm Transportation Service, 
and Rate Schedule IT-1, Interruptible Transportation Service, 
incorporate by reference the charges by CIG for its transportation and 
storage of natural gas from CIG's points of receipt to its delivery to 
Raton pursuant to CIG's currently effective Rate Schedule NNT-1.
    In Docket No. RP96-190-000, CIG has proposed, inter alia, to 
increase its rates and to restructure its service, and to replace the 
service presently provided pursuant to its Rate Schedule NNT-1 with 
several optional services. Raton has elected to replace the service it 
receives under CIG's present Rate Schedule NNT-1 with services pursuant 
to CIG's proposed Rate Schedules NNT-1 and TF-2. Raton's First Revised 
Tariff Sheets 4 and 18 incorporate CIG's Rate Schedule NNT-1 and TF-2 
charges into Raton's Rate Schedules. First Revised Sheet No. 10 changes 
the minimum Btu per cubic foot from 968 Btu's to 950 Btu's, in order to 
reflect the minimum Btu content for natural gas accepted for shipment 
by CIG. First Revised Sheet No. 23, Index of Shippers, replaces 
Associated Natural with PanEnergy Field Services, Inc., which has 
acquired the pipeline system formerly owned by Associated Natural.
    CIG's Rate Schedules NNT-1 and TF-2 will be made effective October 
1, 1996, subject to refund. Raton has requested that its First Revised 
Tariff Sheets 4, 10, 18 and 23 be accepted effective October 1, 1996, 
simultaneous with the CIG tariff changes, subject to the flow-through 
of any refunds that CIG makes when Docket No. RP96-190-000 is finally 
resolved.
    Raton states that a full copy of its filling is being served on 
each of its two customers and upon the New Mexico Public Service 
Commission.
    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, Washington, DC 20426 in accordance with 18 CFR 
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.
