Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-167-001]


PG&E Gas Transmission, Northwest Corporation; Notice of Amendment

February 11, 1998.
    Take notice that on February 4, 1998, PG&E Gas Transmission, 
Northwest Corporation (PG&E GT-NW) (formerly Pacific Gas Transmission 
Company), located at 2100 Southwest River Parkway, Portland, Oregon 
97201, filed in Docket No. CP98-167-001, pursuant to section 7 of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), to amend its application which was filed on 
December 30, 1997.
    PG&E GT-NW states that the purpose of this amendment is to reflect 
the termination of a firm transportation agreement with El Paso Energy 
Marketing Canada, Inc. involving deliveries of 17,702 Dth/day over a 
three year period. Accordingly, PG&E GT-NW filed a revised Exhibit I 
and a revised Exhibit N. PG&E GT-NW states that in all other aspects, 
the December 30 application remains unchanged.
    PG&E GT-NW further states that even with the elimination of this 
service agreement, the remaining executed contracts will generate 
revenues on a cumulative basis over the next ten years that will be in 
excess of the cost of service associated with the proposed facilities 
for the same ten year period.
    Any person desiring to participate in the hearing process or to 
make any protest with reference to said petition to amend should on or 
before February 23, 1998, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First St., N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to 
intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). 
All protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to 
make the protestants parties to the proceeding. The Commission's rules 
require that protestors provide copies of their protests to the party 
or parties directly involved. Any person wishing to become a party to a 
proceeding or to participate as a party in any hearing therein must 
file a motion to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules. 
All persons who have heretofore filed need not file again.
    A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service 
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by every one of the 
intervenors. An intervenor can file for rehearing of any Commission 
order and can petition for court review of any such order. However, an 
intervenor must submit copies of comments or any other filing it makes 
with the Commission to every other intervenor in the proceeding, as 
well as an original and 14 copies with the Commission.
    A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a federal court.
    The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally, 
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
