[Docket No. RP00-355-000]


Trailblazer Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Change in FERC 
Gas Tariff

June 29, 2000.
    Take notice that on June 26, 2000 Trailblazer Pipeline Company 
(Trailblazer) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third 
Revised Volume No. 1, certain tariff sheets to be effective March 27, 
2000.
    Trailblazer states that on February 9, 2000, the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (Commission) issued its final rule regarding the 
regulation of short-term interstate natural gas transportation services 
in Docket Nos. RM98-10-000 and RM98-12-000 (Order No. 637). In the 
instant filing, Trailblazer is filing to implement provisions of Order 
No. 637 regarding the waiver of the rate ceiling for short-term 
capacity release transactions.
    Trailblazer states that Order No 637 provides for a waiver of the 
rate ceiling for short-term (less than one year) capacity release 
transactions until September 30, 2002, and requires pipeline to file 
tariff revisions within 180 days of the effective date of the rule, 
i.e., March 27, 2000, to remove tariff provisions which are 
inconsistent with the removal of the rate ceiling. Accordingly, 
Trailblazer is filing revised tariff sheets as required. Trailblazer 
states that its Order No. 637 compliance plan is not due until August 
15, 2000. Therefore, if Trailblazer were to wait until its Order No 637 
compliance filing, the tariff provisions removing the price cap 
submitted therein would likely not be effective until 2001.
    Trailblazer respectfully requests waiver of any provisions of its 
Tariff and/or the Commission's Regulations required to permit the 
instant filing to become effective as proposed.
    Trailblazer states that copies of the filing are being mailed to 
its customers and interested state commissions.
