in FERC Gas Tariff

January 5, 2000.
    Take notice that on December 30, 1999, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff 
sheets to become effective February 1, 2000:

Forty-second Revised Sheet No. 25
Forty-second Revised Sheet No. 26
Forty-second Revised Sheet No. 27
Thirty-eight Revised Sheet No. 28
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 28B
Fifteenth Revised Sheet No. 29
Nineteenth Revised Sheet No. 30A

    Columbia states that this filing is being submitted pursuant to an 
order issued September 15, 1999, by the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission), which approved an uncontested settlement that 
resolves environmental cost recovery issues in RP95-408,, et. al. 
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation, 88 FERC para. 61,217 (1999). The 
settlement established environmental cost recovery through unit 
components of base rates, all as more fully set forth in Article VI of 
the settlement agreement filed April 5, 1999 (Phase II Settlement).
    For the period February 1, 2000 through January 31, 2001, Columbia 
is required to make a limited Natural Gas Act (NGA) Section 4 filing to 
adjust the base rate unit components to reflect (1) its expectation of 
Remediation Program expenditures during the coming year and (2) its 
realized Third Party Proceeds and actual collections from customers 
through the current base rate unit components. In this filing, Columbia 
has developed base rate unit components to recover the ``prospective 
annual collection level'' of Main Program Costs

of approximately $4.5 million and of Storage Well Program Costs of $2 
million.
    Columbia states further that copies of this filing have been mailed 
to all of its customers and affected state regulatory commissions.
    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 385.214 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://
