Viking Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

September 26, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 23, 1997, Viking Gas Transmission 
Company (Viking) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
First Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on Appendix A to 
the filing to be effective November 1, 1997.
    Viking states that the purpose of this filing is to establish a new 
Rate Schedule FT-C, which will be applicable to the expansion capacity 
approved by the Commission on May 6, 1997 in ``Order Issuing 
Certificate,'' Docket No. CP97-93-000, 79 FERC para. 61,136 (1997). 
Rate Schedule FT-C is identical in all respects to Viking's existing 
FT-A rate schedule, except that it applies only to firm shippers using 
the expansion capacity. Viking is also filing to implement the initial 
incremental demand rate of $8.65 Dth/month approved by the Commission 
in the May 6, 1997 certificate order.
    As provided in the Commission's order, this initial rate for FT-C 
service will be subject to a retroactive ``true-up'' filing after a 
final accounting for the project has been completed. Viking states that 
it is also making miscellaneous tariff modifications so that its tariff 
properly reflects the existence of Viking's new Rate Schedule FT-C.
    Viking states that copies of the filing have been mailed to all of 
its jurisdictional customers and to affected state regulatory 
commissions.
    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, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure. 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
