Gulf States Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Petition For Rate 
Approval

May 12, 1999.
    Take notice that on April 30, 1999, Gulf States Pipeline 
Corporation (Gulf States), tendered for filing pursuant to Section 
284.123(b)(2) of the Commission's Regulations, a petition for rate 
approval for transportation services performed under Section 311(a)(2) 
of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA). The petition is filed to 
comply with a Commission letter order dated March 5, 1997, in Docket 
No. PR96-6-000, which approved Gulf State's current rates, and required 
a filing on or before May 1, 1999, to justify such rates or establish 
new system rates. Gulf States is an intrastate pipeline, incorporated 
in Louisiana, whose system is located in north Louisiana. Its mailing 
address is 8080 North Central Expressway, #200, Dallas, Texas 75206-
1815.
    Gulf States proposes to increase its system rates, and percentage 
for recovering, in-kind, gas lost and fuel used. Accordingly, Gulf 
States proposes, as fair and equitable, a maximum interruptible 
transportation rate of $.4400 per MMBtu, a maximum firm monthly demand 
charge of $7.8352, and a maximum firm commodity charge of $.1824 per 
MMBtu. Gulf States also proposes a 2% in-kind retention rate. Finally, 
Gulf States proposes that shippers will be required to reimburse it for 
filing fees incurred in connection with the implementation, 
commencement or continuation of Section 311 service, as will be 
provided for in relevant service agreements.
    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.
