AIM Pipeline Company; Notice of Petition for Rate Approval

April 16, 1997.
    Take notice that on April 7, 1997, AIM Pipeline Company (AIM) 
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 rate of 27.31 cents per 
MMBtu for interruptible transportation services performed under Section 
311(a)(2) of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA).
    AIM's petition states that it is an intrastate pipeline within the 
meaning of Section 2(16) of the NGPA in the State of Mississippi. AIM 
owns pipeline facilities in the State of Mississippi, which are subject 
to this petition, which consist of approximately 560 miles of 4-inch 
through 20-inch transmission and lateral lines, 44 meters at 25 
delivery points, and 5 compressor stations in the State of Mississippi. 
The Commission had previously approved maximum rates for AIM's 
interruptible transportation service of 25.70 cents per MMBtu 
delivered. This rate for interruptible transportation service was 
approved by the Commission in the March 27, 1995, letter order issued 
in Docket No. PR95-10-000.
    Pursuant to Sec. 284.123(b)(2)(ii), if the Commission does not act 
within 150 days of the filing date, the proposed rate for 
transportation service will be deemed fair and equitable. 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 presentations 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 384.214 of the Commission's Rules or Practice and 
Procedures. All motions must be filed with the Secretary of the 
Commission or before May 1, 1997. The petition for rate approval is on 
file with the Commission and is available for public inspection.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
