Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

August 4, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 31, 1998, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Seventh 
Revised Volume No. 1, the revised Tariff sheets set forth on Appendix A 
to the filing, to become effective on September 1, 1998, the proposed 
implementation date of its SoNet Premier computer system.
    With the implementation of its new computer system that is GISB 
compliant, Southern proposes to streamline certain contract, billing, 
and information requirements to better serve its customers' needs. 
Southern has reviewed these changes with its customers at customer 
meetings during the past year while developing the SoNet Premier system 
and proposes to implement them as of September 1, 1998, based on the 
premise that SoNet Premier will be ready to transact business on that 
date. In addition, the tariff sheets contain provisions implementing 
the GISB standards for which Southern sought a waiver in Docket No. 
RP97-137.
    Southern also seeks to clarify with respect to its waiver issued by 
the Commission on June 9, 1998, in Docket No. RP97-137, that while 
SoNet Premier is currently proposed to be operational on August 31, 
1998, it will be operational to transact business for the gas day of 
September 1, 1998. Finally, by submission of such sheets Southern 
proposes to implement version 1.2 of the GISB standards pursuant to the 
requirements of Order No. 584-G, effective September 1, 1998.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
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 385.214 and 285.211 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 proceedings. 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 in the Public 
Reference Room.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
