Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Propose Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

March 7, 2000.
    Take notice that on March 1, 2001, Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff 
sheets, with a proposed effective date of April 1, 2001:

Twenty-fifth Revised Sheet No. 18
Fifteenth Revised Sheet No. 18A
Twenty-sixth Revised Sheet No. 19

    Columbia Gulf states that this filing represents Columbia Gulf's 
annual filing pursuant to the provisions of Section 33, 
``Transportation Retainage Adjustment (TRA),'' of the General Terms and 
Conditions (``GTC'') of its Tariff.
    Columbia Gulf states the tariff sheets listed above set forth the 
transportation retainage factors as a result of this filing. GTC 
Section 33.2 enables Columbia Gulf to state retainage factor or its 
rate zones, which factors consist of a current and an over/under 
recovered component. Pursuant to GTC Section 33.4(a), the current 
component reflects the estimate of total company-use, lost, and 
unaccounted-for quantities required during the 12-month period 
commencing, in an annual filing such as this, on April 1. Pursuant to 
GTC Section 33.4(b) the over/under recovered component reflects the 
reconciliation of ``actual'' company-use, lost, and unaccounted-for 
quantities with quantities actually retained by Columbia Gulf foe the 
preceding calendar year, i.e., the deferral period.
    The deferral period for this annual filing is the preceding 
calendar year being January 1948 through December 31, 2000. Appendix A 
set forth Columbia Gulf's actual experience during the deferral period. 
As reflected therein, Columbia Gulf was in a net under-recovery 
position as of December 31, 2000. As a result, in this filing Columbia 
Gulf if implementing an under-covered surcharge component for each of 
the retainage factors to increase future quantities to be retained.
    Columbia Gulf states that copies of its filing have been mailed to 
all firm customers, interruptible customers, and affected the state 
commission.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy
