South Georgia Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes to 
FERC Gas Tariff

May 6, 1997.
    Take notice that on May 2, 1997, South Georgia Natural Gas Company 
(South Georgia) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised Tariff sheet in 
compliance with the Commission's Order No. 587-B and the Commission's 
March 4, 1997 Order in this docket, to become effective June 1, 1997:

    Eighth Revised Sheet No. 5.

    On July 17, 1996, the Commission issued Order No. 587 in Docket No. 
RM96-1-000 which revised the Commission's regulations governing 
interstate natural gas pipelines to require such pipelines to follow 
certain standardized business practices issued by the Gas Industry 
Standards Board (GISB) and adopted by the Commission in said Order. 18 
CFR 284.10(b).
    On December 4, 1996, South Georgia made its compliance filing 
submitting pro forma tariff sheets to comply with Order No. 587. On 
March 4, 1997, the Commission issued an order in this docket in 
response to South Georgia's filing. The order required South Georgia to 
revise and submit its compliance filing for implementation of the 
approved standards by June 1, 1997. South Georgia submitted its 
compliance filing on April 15, 1997, but requested a waiver not to 
implement Version 1.1 of Standard 5.3.22 on the basis that the 
Commission subsequently approved a revised version of the standard 
which matched South Georgia's current practice for calculating maximum 
daily reservation rates on a volumetric basis for releases of firm 
service. Rather than implement a change for a very short time, South 
Georgia proposed making a filing to implement Version 1.1 of

[[Page 25937]]

Standard 5.3.22 on June 1, 1997, which is earlier than the November 1, 
1997 deadline. The revised sheet listed above reflects revised Standard 
5.3.22.
    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 Rule 211 and 214 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR Section 385.211). 
All such 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. 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.
