    On April 2, 1999, the Commission issued Order No. 587-K in Docket 
No. RM96-1-011 which revised the Commission's regulations governing 
interstate natural gas pipelines to require such pipelines to follow 
Version 1.3 of the business practices standards issued by the Gas 
Industry Standards Board (GISB) and incorporated by reference in 
Section 284.10(b) of the Commission's Regulations. The standards 
require pipelines to post certain information on World Wide Web 
homepages and to comply with the new and revised business practices 
governing nominations, flowing gas, electronic delivery mechanisms and 
capacity release. The revisions shown on the Tariff Sheets filed 
herewith reflect Southern's compliance filing to conform with Version 
1.3 of the GISB standards approved under Order No. 587-K. Such 
standards specifically include nomination and confirmation practices, 
the definition of a gigacalorie for nominations in Mexico, the addition 
of an allocation methodology, and the format and content of information 
postings on Southern's web site. The order required Southern to submit 
its compliance filing for implementation of the approved standards by 
August 1, 1999.
    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, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.314 or 385.211 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. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
