Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Filing of Report on 
Calculations of Excess Revenues

June 18, 1997.
    Take notice that on June 13, 1997, Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf), field its Calculations of Excess Revenues.
    Columbia Gulf States that prior to May 1, 1997, in accordance with 
the Former Section 34 (Crediting of Excess Revenues) of the General 
Terms and Conditions (GTC) of Columbia Gulf's FERC Gas Tariff, Second 
Revised Volume No. 1, Columbia Gulf was required to calculate revenues 
applicable to Rate Schedules ITS-1 and

[[Page 34050]]

ITS-2 at the earlier of the end of each 12-month period such rates were 
in effect, or as of the date such rates were superseded by subsequent 
rate proceeding.
    On October 31, 1996, Columbia Gulf filed a general NGA Section 4(e) 
rate proceeding in Docket No. RP97-52, proposing termination of Excess 
Revenues crediting and deletion of Section 34 of the GTC. By order 
dated November 27, 1996, the Commission allowed Columbia Gulf to 
terminate GTC Section 34 effective May 1, 1997. See Columbia Gulf 
Transmission Co., 77 FERC para. 61,255 (1996).
    In order to complete the elimination of the ITS revenue crediting 
provision, Columbia Gulf must calculate all Excess Revenues 
attributable to the period November 1, 1995 through April 30, 1997. 
Consistent with the former GTC Section 34 and the approved settlement 
in Columbia Gulf's last rate case in Docket No. RP96-219 (See 
Stipulation, Art. I, Section E(2)), the revenues generated were not 
sufficient to result in any Excess Revenues for crediting.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said 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 on or 
before June 25, 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. Any person wishing to 
become a party must file a motion to intervene. A copy of this report 
is on file with the Commission and is available for public inspection 
in the Public Reference Room.

Secretary.
