shippers in Docket Nos. RP97-71 and RP97-312.
    Transco states that on June 12, 1998, the Commission issued its 
``Order Approving and Clarifying Contested Settlement'' which approved 
the Stipulation and Agreement (Agreement) filed January 20, 1998 in

calculated storage and transportation refunds for the period May 1, 
1997 (the beginning of the Docket No. RP97-71 rate period) through 
August 31, 1998 based on the difference between the amounts billed and 
amounts calculated utilizing settlement rates, subject to the refund 
floor.
