[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 7 (Monday, January 12, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 1846] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-637] [[Page 1846]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. RP98-101-000] Viking Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff January 6, 1998. Take notice that on December 30, 1997, Viking Gas Transmission Company (Viking) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, Third Revised Sheet No. 6A, proposed to be effective January 1, 1998. Viking states that the purpose of this filing is to revise the language in Viking's tariff regarding the calculation of customer load factors for GRI purposes. The revised language eliminates references to the November 1994 through October 1995 calendar year and states that Viking uses the most recently completed twelve month period running from November through October when calculating customer load factors for GRI purposes. This change has no effect other than to increase administrative efficiency by eliminating the need for Viking to make recurrent filings to change the year used to calculate customer load factors. The calculation of customer load factors remains pursuant to the ``Stipulation and Agreement Concerning Post-1993 GRI Funding Mechanism.'' 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, N.E., 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 should 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. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. 98-637 Filed 1-9-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-M
