Humble Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Petition for Rate Approval

March 8, 2000.
    Take notice that on February 29, 2000, Humble Gas Pipeline Company 
(HGPC) filed a petition for rate approval pursuant to section 
284.123(b)(2) or the Commission's regulations. HGPC requests that the 
Commission approve a maximum rate of $0.04389 per MMBtu for gas 
transported on the Inlet System and a maximum rate of $0.01016 per 
MMBtu for gas transported on the Header System; both rates are subject 
to an additional one-percent (1%) retainage for fuel and unaccounted-
for gas.
    HGPC affirms that it is an intrastate pipeline within the meaning 
of section 2(16) of the NGPA, with an intrastate pipeline which is 
located entirely within the state of Texas. HGPC's pipeline is 
comprised of an Inlet System and a Header System. Consistent with the 
Commission's approval of its Section 311 rates in Docket No. PR 97-5, 
HGPC proposes to make its new section 311 rates effective as of March 
1, 2000.
    Pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2)(ii), if the Commission does not 
act within 150 days of the filing date, the rates will be deemed to be 
fair and equitable and not in excess of an amount which interstate 
pipelines would be permitted to charge for similar transportation 
services. The Commission may, prior to the expiration of the 150-day 
period, extend the time for action or institute a proceeding to afford 
parties an opportunity for written comments and for the oral 
presentation of views, data, and arguments.
    Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must 
file a motion to intervene in accordance with sections 385.211 and 
385.214 or the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures. All 
motions must be filed with the Secretary of the Commission on or before 
March 23, 2000. The petition for rate approval is on file with the 
Commission and is available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://

Secretary.
