Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

September 16, 1998.
    Take notice that on September 11, 1998, Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans) 
tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised 
Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff sheet to become effective 
August 1, 1998:

Fifth Revised Sheet No. 10

    Equitrans states that the filing implements a reduction in 
retainage factors to .65% for storage services and 3.25% for 
transportation services effective August 1, 1998. Equitrans states that 
the retainage factors proposed in this filing have been agreed to by 
Equitrans and its customers as part of a comprehensive rate case 
settlement in Docket No. RP97-346.
    Equitrans states that it filed tariff sheets herein on July 31, 
1998 proposing to implement the retainage levels agreed upon in the 
settlement effective September 1, 1998, claiming that it would achieve 
the agreed-upon retainage levels for the month of August through a 
discount and waiver of its currently-effective retainage levels 
applicable to all shippers on a non-discriminatory basis. The 
Commission approved the tariff filing on August 31, but instructed 
Equitrans to file a tariff sheet effective August 1, 1998 providing for 
those lower retainage factors. Equitrans states that this filing is 
made in compliance with the Commission's order.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such 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. 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.
