filed a

petition for rate approval pursuant to Section 284.123(b)(2) of the 
Commission's regulations, and pursuant to the Commission's order issued 
March 4, 1996 in Docket No. PR95-7-000. In its petition, Tekas requests 
the Commission to approve a system-wide maximum rate of $0.1465 per Mcf 
(plus a pro rata share of fuel and lost and unaccounted for gas). Tekas 
states that the rate will be applicable to its transportation services 
provided under Section 311(a)(2) of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 
(NGPA), effective August 1, 1998.
    Pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2)(ii), if the Commission does not 
act within 150 days of the filing date, the rate will be deemed to be 
fair and equitable and not in excess of an amount which interstate 
pipelines would be permitted to charge for similar transportation 
service. The Commission may, prior to the expiration of the 150-day 
period, extend the time for action or institute a proceeding to afford 
parties an opportunity for written comments and for the oral 
presentation of views, data, and arguments.
    Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with sections 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedures. All motions or protests must be filed 
with the Secretary of the Commission on or before April 2, 1998. 
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 proceedings. Copies of the petition are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
