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

January 23, 1997.
    Take notice that on January 17, 1997, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets set 
forth on Appendix A to the filing, to become effective on February 1, 
1997.
    On December 31, 1996, Columbia filed with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (Commission) to move pursuant to Section 4(e) of 
the Natural Gas Act to place into effect on February 1, 1997, the rates 
set forth in its November 22, 1996 Offer of Settlement in this 
proceeding, contingent upon approval and implementation of the 
Settlement. The Settlement rates were set forth in Appendix A of the 
December 31, 1996 motion rate filing. It has come to Columbia's 
attention that the minimum commodity rate applicable to both firm and 
interruptible gathering services shown on First Revised Ninth Revised 
Sheet No. 30 in the motion rate filing is incorrect due strictly to an 
advertent clerical error. Columbia is submitting the instant filing to 
correct this error. Columbia is also reflecting on this sheet the 
processing charges that result from the Settlement effective as of 
February 1, 1997.
    Certain other rate tariff sheets are being refiled to indicate in a 
footnote that a customer's acceptance and payment of invoices based on 
the Settlement rates shall constitute such customer's agreement to pay 
the surcharge (subject to refund) if the Settlement is not approved and 
implemented. This language was indicated in the transmittal letter to 
the Initial Settlement motion filing of December 31, 1996, but 
inadvertently omitted from the tariff sheets.
    Columbia states that copies of its filing have been mailed to 
Columbia's customers and all affected state commissions, as well as to 
all parties on the official service list to this proceeding.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed on 
or before January 27, 1997. 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. 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.
