Paiute Pipeline Company; Notice of Motion To Place Suspended 
Rates Into Effect

December 31, 1996.
    Take notice that on December 26, 1996, Paiute Pipeline Company 
(Paiute) filed a motion pursuant to Section 4(e) of the Natural Gas Act 
and Section 154.206(a) of the Commission's regulations to make 
effective on January 1, 1997, certain rates and a tariff sheet in 
connection with Paiute's request for general rate relief in Docket No. 
RP96-306-000. Specifically, Paiute has moved to place into effect on 
January 1, 1997, Fifth Revised Sheet No. 10 of Second Revised Volume 
No. 1-A of its FERC Gas Tariff.
    Paiute states that on July 1, 1996, Paiute filed certain revised 
tariff sheets in this proceeding, pursuant to Section 4 of the Natural 
Gas Act, to implement a proposed general rate increase. Paiute further 
states that by order issued July 31, 1996, the Commission accepted 
Paiute's proposed rates and suspended their effectiveness for five 
months to become effective January 1, 1997, subject to refund. Paiute 
states that in its suspension order, the Commission accepted the 
proposed rates subject to the condition that Paiute revise its rates to 
remove the costs of facilities not placed in service as of December 31, 
1996.
    With its motion, Paiute submitted Fifth Revised Sheet No. 10. 
Paiute indicates that Fifth Revised Sheet No. 10, in accordance with 
the Commission's suspension order, sets forth the rates proposed by 
Paiute in its July 1, 1996, filing in this proceeding, modified to 
reflect the exclusion of costs associated with facilities which will 
not be placed in service as of December 31, 1996. Paiute also states 
that Fifth Revised Sheet No. 10 incorporates the change in the annual 
charge adjustment surcharge rate which was approved by the Commission 
in Docket Nos. TM97-1-41-000 and TM97-1-41-001 by orders issued 
September 27 and November 6, 1996 respectively. Paiute moves that Fifth 
Revised Sheet No. 10 be made effective January 1, 1997.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
