Northwest Alaskan Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

January 15, 1999.
    Take notice that on January 12, 1999, Northwest Alaskan Pipeline 
Company (Northwest Alaskan) tendered for filing to become part of its 
FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 2, Forth-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 
5, with an effective date of January 1, 1999.
    Northwest Alaskan states that it is submitting Forty-Fifth Revised 
Sheet No. 5 to correct an error in the Forty-Third Revised Sheet No. 5 
which was filed November 17, 1998, in Docket No. RP99-151-000 and 
approved on December 18, 1998 to be effective January 1, 1999. Said 
Forty-Third Revised Sheet No. 5 was filed pursuant to the provisions of 
the amended purchase agreements between Northwest Alaskan and Pan-
Alberta Gas (U.S.), Inc. (APAG-US) and Pacific Interstate Transmission 
Company (APIT), and pursuant to the Rate Schedules X-1, X-2, X-3 and X-
4, which provide for Northwest Alaskan to file 45 days prior to the 
commencement of the next demand charge period (January 1, 1999 through 
January 30, 1999) the demand charges and demand charge adjustments 
which Northwest Alaskan will charge during the period.
    Northwest Alaskan states that Forty-Third Revised Sheet No. 5 was 
subsequently replaced by the Forty-Fourth Revised Sheet No. 5 which was 
filed January 6, 1999, in Docket No. CP98-603-00 in accordance with the 
direction of the Commission in its Order on Settlement and Authorizing 
Abandonments, Acquisition of Facilities, Waiving Tariff Provisions, and 
Granting Motion for Consolidation issued December 17, 1998 (the Order) 
to reflect the changes caused by the termination of the purchase 
agreement between Northwest Alaskan and PIT and the related tariff, 
Rate Schedule X-4.
    Subsequent to the November 17, 1998 filing of the Forty-Third 
Revised Sheet No. 5, Pan-Alberta notified Northwest Alaskan that the 
schedules provided by Pan-Alberta and included in the November 17, 1998 
filing contained an error. The Nova transportation charges listed in 
the Demand Charge Adjustment as filed included only the Nova charges 
billed directly to Pan-Alberta by Nova and did not include the Nova 
charges that were paid to Nova by Pan-Alberta via their producers 
during the period from November 1996 to August 1998.
    Northwest further states that Forty-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 5 
reflects the increase in total demand charges for Canadian gas 
purchased by Northwest Alaskan from Pan-Alberta and resold to PAG-US 
unde rate schedule X-1 which results from the inclusion of the Nova 
transportation charges previously omitted by Pan-Alberta in its 
calculations. Rate Schedules X-2 and X-3 are not affected by the error, 
and therefore those demand charges remain unchanged.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said 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 or 385.11 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with 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.

Secretary.
