Seagull Marketing Services, Inc., Complainant, v. Columbia Gulf 
Transmission Company, Respondent; Notice of Complaint

November 9, 2000.
    Take notice that on November 8, 2000, pursuant to Sections 5, 7, 
and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), 15 U.S.C. 717d, 717f, and 717o, 
and Rule 206 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 
CFR 385.206, Seagull Marketing Services, Inc. (Seagull) tendered for 
filing a complaint against Columbia Gulf Transmission Company (Columbia 
Gulf). Seagull has requested Fast Track processing under 18 CFR 
385.206(h).
    Seagull alleges that Columbia Gulf has used an inappropriate cash-
out price for imbalance volumes and improperly assessed imbalance 
penalties against Seagull that are in violation of Sections 5 and 7 of 
the NGA, Part 284 of the Commission's regulations, operative provisions 
of the currently effective Columbia Gulf Tariff (Tariff), and 
Commission policy and precedent.
    Seagull requests Fast Track processing under 18 CFR 385.206(h) 
because of the threat of additional monthly imbalance penalties. To the 
extent that Fast Track procedures do not apply, Seagull asks the 
Commission to issue an immediate stay of any further assessment by 
Columbia Gulf of monthly imbalance penalties pending a disposition on 
the merits of this complaint.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulation Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). All such motions or 
protests must be filed on or before November 28, 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 
proceeding. 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 also be viewed on the Internet at 
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222) for 
assistance. Answers to the complaint shall also be due on or before 
November 28, 2000.
