Olympic Pipeline Company; Notice of Petition for Rate Approval

January 10, 1997.
    Take notice that on December 12, 1996, Olympic Pipeline Company 
(Olympic), filed pursuant to Section 284.123(b)(2) of the Commission's 
Regulations, a petition for rate approval requesting that the 
Commission approve as fair and equitable a firm transportation 
reservation charge of $3.22 per MMBtu and a 100 percent load factor 
interruptible transportation charge of $0.1060 per MMBtu for 
transportation services performed by Olympic through its West Chalkley 
System under Section 311(a)(2) of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 
(NGPA).
    Olympic states that it is an intrastate pipeline within the meaning 
of Section 2(16) of the NGPA and it owns and operates an intrastate 
pipeline system in the State of Louisiana. Olympic proposes an 
effective date of December 12, 1996.
    Pursuant to Section 284.123(b)(2)(ii), if the Commission does not 
act within 150 days of the filing date, the rate will be deemed to be 
fair and equitable and not in excess of an amount which interstate 
pipelines would be permitted to charge for similar transportation 
service. The Commission may, prior to the expiration of the 150-day 
period, extend the time for action or institute a proceeding to afford 
parties an opportunity for written comments and for the oral 
presentation of views, data, and arguments.
    Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must 
file a motion to intervene in accordance with Sections 385.211 and 
385.214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures. All 
motions must be filed with the Secretary of the Commission on or before 
January 31, 1997. The petition for rate approval is on file with the 
Commission and is available for public inspection.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
