[Docket No. PR01-1-000]


Associated Natural Gas Company; Notice of Petition for Rate 
Approval

November 20, 2000.
    Take notice that on November 1, 2000, Associated Natural Gas 
Company (ANG) filed, pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2) of the 
Commission's regulations, a petition for rate approval requesting that 
the Commission approve as fair and equitable a firm maximum reservation 
rate of $1.9662 per MMBtu, a firm minimum reservation rate of $0.0000, 
maximum and minimum commodity rates of $0.00273 per MMBtu, an 
interruptible maximum rate of $0.03663, and an interruptible minimum 
rate of $0.00273 per MMBtu for transportation services performed under 
its blanket certificate issued pursuant to 18 CFR 284.224.
    ANG states that its facilities consist of two discrete, non-
integrated systems. One of these systems is located entirely in 
Arkansas. The other system is located almost entirely in Arkansas but 
crosses the Arkansas-Missouri border and extends approximately 50 feet 
into Missouri where it interconnects with another local distribution 
company in Missouri. ANG requests approval of the proposed rates to 
facilitate ANG's deliveries of gas across the Arkansas-Missouri border. 
The proposed rates will apply only to the delivery of gas on the ANG 
system located in northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri.
    Pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2)(ii), if the Commission does not 
act within 150 days of the filing date, the rate 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 
service. 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 or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, D.C. 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 motions must 
be filed with the Secretary of the Commission on or before December 5, 
2000. This petition for rate approval is on file with the Commission 
and is available for public inspection. This filing may be viewed on 
the web at
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for 
assistance). Comments and protests may be filed electronically via the 
internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.200(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instruction on the Commission's web sit at http://www.ferc.fed.us.efi/doorbell.htm.
