[Docket No. RP98-60-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Filing

December 2, 1997.
    Take notice that on November 25, 1997, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia) tendered for filing Attachment A to the filing, 
which details, by customer, the historical load factors calculated 
using total firm entitlements for the 12-month period ended October 31, 
1997.
    Columbia states that this filing is being submitted pursuant to the 
Commission's November 12, 1997 Order in Docket Nos. RP97-149-002 and 
RP97-391-000, in which the Commission approved GRI's 1998 funding 
formula continuing the 1997 funding formula with allocated RD&D program 
costs to its members. Since the approved charges for 1998 are the same 
as the GRI charges approved for 1997, no revision is required in 
Columbia's presently effective Sheet Nos. 25 through 28, but the 
charges to certain of Columbia's firm customers will change based upon 
the revised historical load factor calculations.
    Columbia states that this filing is to reflect Columbia's changes 
to its firm customers' load factors reflected in the calculations on 
Attachment A. As stated above, any new customer added after January 1, 
1998 will be billed GRI each month based on the actual throughput for 
each prior month of service until a 12-month history is established. 
Nevertheless, Columbia is filing Attachment A to the filing so as to 
insure that the load factors resulting from the calculations are a 
matter of public record.
    Columbia states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all 
parties on the Commission's service list in Docket No. RP96-140 and 
RP96-140-002, and to each of Columbia's firm customers, interruptible 
customers, and affected state commissions. Columbia also agrees to make 
available for this filing the data that it was required to provide in 
its June 13, 1996 compliance filing in Docket No. RP96-140-002 pursuant 
to a protective agreement.
    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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
