Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

March 5, 1997.
    Take notice that on February 28, 1997, Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, to 
become effective April 1, 1997:

1st Rev Fourteenth Revised Sheet No. 018
1st Rev Fifteenth Revised Sheet No. 019

    Columbia Gulf states that this filing represents Columbia Gulf's 
annual filing pursuant to Section 33, ``Transportation Retainage 
Adjustment (TRA)'', of the General Terms and Conditions of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1. Columbia Gulf states that it 
currently has retainage factors for each of its three zones. Each 
factor consists of a current and an unrecovered component for company-
use, lost, and unaccounted for quantities. In this filing, Columbia 
Gulf is adjusting the current component of each retainage factor to 
reflect a change in the estimate for company-use, lost, and unaccounted 
for quantities.
    The deferral period for this filing is the twelve-month period of 
January 1, 1996, through December 31, 1996. Columbia Gulf states that 
Appendix A to the filing sets forth Columbia Gulf's actual experience 
during the deferral period. As reflected therein, Columbia Gulf was in 
a net under-recovery position as of December 31, 1996. Consequently, in 
this filing Columbia Gulf is implementing an unrecovered surcharge 
component for each of the retainage factors to increase future 
quantities to be retained.
    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, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 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.
