[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 228 (Wednesday, November 26, 1997)] [Notices] [Pages 63145-63146] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-31012] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket Nos. RP98-50-000 and RP98-50-001] Raton Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff November 20, 1997. Take notice that on November 14, 1997, Raton Gas Transmission Company (Raton) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, Second Revised Tariff Sheets Nos. 4 and 18 to become effective October 1, 1997. On November 18, 1997, Raton filed in Docket No. RP98-50-001 its filing to include a ``redlined'' version showing additions and deletions to its tariff. On September 27, 1997, Raton filed First Revised Sheets Nos. 4, 10, 18, and 23 to its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, to incorporate, in its tariff, the tariff changes made effective as of October 1, 1996 by Raton's supplier, Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG), pursuant to Docket No. RP96-190. By orders issued October 25 and December 24, 1996, the Commission accepted Raton's filing in Docket No. RP96-391, and allowed Raton's tariff changes to be made effective as of October 1, 1996, subject to a flow through of any refunds received from CIG upon the termination of Docket No. RP96-190. On September 16, 1997 CIG filed revised tariff sheets incorporating the rates agreed to by all parties in the settlement of Docket No. RP96-190 and the Commission has authorized CIG to make those tariff sheets effective as of October 1, 1997. Those revised tariff sheets will provide significant reductions in the cost of the transportation services provided by CIG to Raton, and Raton proposes to pass those rate reductions on to its customers. Raton states that Second Revised Tariff Sheets Nos. 4 and 18, submitted by Raton, incorporate CIG's charges pursuant to its revised Rate Schedules NNT-1 and TF-1, certain surcharges which have been agreed to, and the supplemental seasonal TF-1 contract, pursuant to which Raton will receive transportation service from CIG effective October 1, 1997. The charges for the off-speak seasonal FT-1 volumes will be passed through as surcharges pursuant to Section 18.5. Refunds and/or credits which Raton will receive from CIG for the period October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1997, will be flowed through to Raton's customers. Raton states that a full copy of its filing is being served upon each of its two customers and upon the New Mexico Public Service Commission. 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, 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 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 [[Page 63146]] inspection in the Public Reference Room. Lois D. Cashell, Secretary.
