Viking Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Filing

December 28, 2000.
    Take notice that on December 19, 2000, Viking Gas Transmission 
Company (Viking), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
First Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets proposed to be 
effective January 1, 2001:

Seventh Revised Sheet No. 141
Second Revised Sheet No. 142
Second Revised Sheet No. 143
Third Revised Sheet No. 144
Second Revised Sheet No. 145
Third Revised Sheet No. 146

    The purpose of this filing is to revise Viking's Electronic 
Bulletin Board Access Service Agreement (EBB Agreement) to reflect the 
replacement of Viking's Webshipper computer system. The revised EBB 
Agreement does not identify a particular EBB computer system so that 
Viking will not have to modify the EBB Agreement every time it upgrades 
its EBB computer system. Replacement of Webshipper for EBB purposes has 
no effect other than to change the specific technology used for EBB 
communication. Viking will continue to comply with all EBB requirements 
established by the Commission. Viking is filing these sheets under 
section 4 of the Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C. 717c (1996).
    Viking requests an effective date of January 1, 2001, the date the 
new computer system will be in service, and accordingly requests such 
waivers of Part 154 and the Commission's regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act as may be necessary to place the tariff sheets in effect on the 
proposed date. Accordingly, Viking requests expedited consideration so 
that the revised EBB Service Agreement may be executed prior to the 
January 1, 2001 date on which Viking's EBB system is implemented. 
Viking will employ the agreement effective January 1, 2001, subject to 
any changes required by the Commission. Viking states that copies of 
the filing have been mailed to all its

jurisdictional customers and to affected state regulatory commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said 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 or 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).
