Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Tariff Filing

January 12, 2000.
    Take notice that on January 7, 2000, Colorado Interstate Gas 
Company (CIG), tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, Sixth Revised Sheet No. 176, to be 
effective February 7, 2000.
    CIG states that it provides swing service pursuant to Rate Schedule 
SS-1. In implementing this Rate Schedule, CIG has discovered an 
oversight. CIG states that as currently structured, the commodity rate 
for the swing service applies only to daily gas quantities allocated to 
a shipper's swing contract that exceed 5% of the daily total scheduled 
quantities at the pertinent delivery point. To provide more flexibility 
to shippers, CIG asks the Commission for permission to expand the safe 
harbor so that the commodity rate applies only to daily swing 
quantities that exceed the greater of 100 Dth or 5% of the daily total 
scheduled quantities at the pertinent delivery point.
    CIG states that this revision will ensure that the swing service 
commodity rate is not imposed on small gas quantities. CIG states that 
to ensure that shippers get the immediate benefit of this expanded 
flexibility, it has posted a notice on its electronic bulletin board on 
November 5, 1999 that waives the pertinent provision of Rate Schedule 
SS-1 to implement the broader ``greater of'' standard.
    CIG further states that copies of this compliance filing have been 
served on CIG's jurisdictional customers and public bodies.
    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://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
