Sea Robin Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes to FERC 
Gas Tariff

October 17, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 14, 1997, Sea Robin Pipeline Company 
(Sea Robin) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First 
Revised Volume No. 1, the revised tariff sheets set forth on Appendix A 
to the filing.
    Sea Robin has requested to place the tariff sheets into effect 
August 4, 1997.
    On July 1, 1997, Sea Robin submitted a filing with the Commission 
in the above-captioned docket to create a new rate schedule on Sea 
Robin's system to provide a new, flexible firm service for any eligible 
shipper. Such new, firm service, Rate Schedule FTS-2, provides firm 
transportation at a volumetric rate provided that shippers maintain a 
throughput level of 80% of Maximum Daily Quantity (MDQ). In the 
Commission's ``Order Accepting and Suspending Tariff Sheets Subject to 
Conditions'' dated July 31, 1997, the Commission accepted Sea Robin's 
filing subject to certain conditions. Sea Robin made a compliance 
filing with the Commission on August 15, 1997. By Order dated September 
26, 1997, the Commission accepted Sea Robin's compliance filing but 
required Sea Robin to place the tariff sheets into effect on August 4, 
1997. This is the date Sea Robin filed a motion with the Commission to 
place the sheets into effect.
    In addition, the Commission required Sea Robin to clarify the 
following to its tariff language in its new Rate Schedule FTS-2:

[[Page 55232]]

    (i) That the priorities of service are the same for FTS shippers 
and FTS-2 shippers (Sheet No. 118);
    (ii) To eliminate reference to the words ``at minimum'' when 
evaluating requests under Rate Schedule FTS-2 to determine net present 
value, if necessary, to allocate capacity (Sheet No. 130o);
    (iii) To include references to Rate Schedule FTS-2 in order to 
incorporate the rate schedule into the General Terms and Conditions of 
the Tariff (Sheet Nos. 30a, 32 and 33).
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures. 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.
