Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

December 31, 1996.
    Take notice that on December 20, 1996, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia) tendered for filing Attachment A to the filing 
which details, by customer, the historical load factors calculated 
using total firm entitlements for the 12-month period ended October 31, 
1996. Columbia proposes to charge its firm customers the GRI demand 
rate indicated by these

[[Page 985]]

calculations, and any new customer added after January 1, 1997, will be 
billed GRI each month based on the actual throughput for each month of 
prior service until a 12-month history is established.
    In Opinion 407, issued by the Commission on September 27, 1996, in 
Docket No. RP96-267-000, the Commission waived the requirements of 
individual pipeline tariffs so that presently effective tariff sheets 
reflecting the 1996 GRI funding surcharges need not be restated since 
the approved charges for 1997 are the same as the GRI charges approved 
for 1996. Nevertheless, Columbia is filing Attachment A so as to insure 
that the load factors resulting from its calculations are a matter of 
public record.
    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, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Section 385.214 and Section 385.211 of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with 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.
