Koch Gateway Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes To FERC 
Gas Tariff

August 29, 2000.
    Take notice that on August 16, 2000, Koch Gateway Pipeline Company 
(Koch) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, to become effective 
March 27, 2000 and September 15, 2000.
Tariff Sheets to be Effective March 27, 2000
    Third Revised Sheet No. 3600
    Third Revised Sheet No. 3601
    Fourth Revised Sheet No. 3605
    Third Revised Sheet No. 3612
Tariff Sheets to be Effective September 15, 2000
    Sixth Revised Sheet No. 3700
    Original Sheet No. 3700A
    Third Revised Sheet No. 3704

    Koch states that the purpose of this filing is to comply with the 
Commission's Regulation of Short-Term Natural Gas Transportation 
Services and Regulation of Interstate Natural Gas Transportation 
Services in Docket Nos. RM98-10-000 and RM98-12-000 (Order No. 637). 
Among other things, the Commission in Order No. 637 waived the rate 
ceiling for short-term capacity release transactions and limited the 
availability of the right of first refusal to contracts at the maximum 
tariff rate having a term of twelve consecutive months or longer. On 
May 19, 2000, the Commission issued order 637-A which modified Order 
No. 637 to provide the right of first refusal will apply to multi-year 
seasonal contracts at the maximum rate for services not offered by the 
pipeline for twelve consecutive months. Accordingly, Koch has modified 
its tariff to comply with these requirements of Order Nos. 637 and 
637A.
    Koch states that copies of this filing have been served upon Koch's 
customers, state commissions and other interested parties.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest such 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 and 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).
