    Columbia states that this filing is being submitted pursuant to 
Article III, Section C, Collections under Section 46 of the General 
Terms and Conditions of Columbia's Tariff SFC Provision of the 
Stipulation and Agreement in Docket No. RP95-408, et al., approved by 
the Commission on April 17, 1997 (79 FERC para. 61,044 (1997)). In 
accordance with this provision, Columbia was permitted to collect $22.4 
million via the SFC rate. As of September 30, 1997, Columbia has 
collected $22.9 million of SFC revenues. By this filing, Columbia 
states that it is proposing to terminate the SFC rate effective October 
1, 1997. In addition, Columbia will refund to customers via a billing 
credit approximately $0.5 million of collections in the month of 
September 1997 over the $22.4 million cap. The total excess collections 
will be allocated to customers based on total collections during the 
month of September 1997.
    Columbia requests a waiver of Section 154.207 of the Commission's 
regulations in order to permit Columbia to remove the SFC Rate 
effective October 1, 1997. Granting this waiver allows Columbia's 
customers to avoid any additional over-recoveries of SFC revenues.
    Columbia states further that copies of this filing have been mailed 
to all of its customers, affected state regulatory commissions, and all 
parties on the official service in this proceeding.
    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, NE, Washington, DC 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 as provided 
in 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.
