[Federal Register Volume 65, Number 7 (Tuesday, January 11, 2000)] [Notices] [Page 1624] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 00-545] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. RP00-155-000] Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Compliance Filing January 5, 2000. Take notice that on December 30, 1999, Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia) tendered a filing with the Commission in compliance with Stipulation II, Article III, Section B(3), of the settlement filed in Docket No. RP95-408 et al, approved on April 17, 1997 (79 FERC para. 61,044 (1997))(Settlement). The Settlement provides that in the event that Columbia is still providing gathering service on February 1, 2000, Columbia shall file no later than December 31, 1999 to be effective February 1, 2000, to reflect in the gathering rates the actual costs of providing gathering service at the time of the filing. Columbia states that gathering costs have already been fully unbundled from transportation service rates since January 31, 1999, and this filing does not affect transportation service rates. Since Columbia is continuing to sell, refunctionalize, or otherwise dispose of all facilities functionally classified as gathering, Columbia has determined that it is willing to continue to charge the lower currently effective rate for gathering service. 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 on or before January 12, 2000. 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://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance). Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary.
