[Docket No. RP01-454-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

June 14, 2001.
    Take notice that on June 8, 2001, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff 
sheets, bearing a proposed effective date of July 9, 2001:

Tenth Revised Sheet No. 262
First Revised Sheet No. 487
Original Sheet No. 488

    Columbia states that the instant filing is being made to comply 
with the order on Remand in Docket No. CP95-218-002 (Remand Order) 
issued by the Commission on December 14, 2000. The ``Remand Order'' 
revised the Commission's previous policy requiring pipelines to seek 
case-by-case approval before acquiring offsystem capacity and 
permitting new acquisitions of offsystem capacity by pipelines to be 
made without pre-approval. In its order denying clarification and 
rehearing issued April 12, 2001, in Docket No. CP95-218-004, the 
Commission clarified that pipelines intending to transport gas for 
others on acquired offsystem capacity must receive a waiver of the 
``shipper must have title'' policy prior to commencing the service. The 
Commission stated that a pipeline need not seek such waiver on case-by-
case basis; rather it may make a single filing to amend its tariff to 
include a general statement that it will only transport for others 
using offsystem capacity pursuant to its existing tariff and rates and 
to request a generic waiver of the ``shipper must have title'' policy. 
The purpose of the instant filing is to include a general statement in 
Columbia's tariff and to request such waiver.
    Columbia states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all 
firm customers, interruptible customers, and affected state 
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). 
Comments, protests, and interventions may be filed electronically via 
the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's web site at http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.
