Portland Natural Gas Transmission System; Notice of Proposed 
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

October 4, 2001.
    Take notice that on October 1, 2001, Portland Natural Gas 
Transmission System (PNGTS) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Original Volume No. 1, First Revised Sheet No. 100, to become 
effective on November 1, 2001.
    PNGTS states that the proposed changes would increase revenues from 
jurisdictional service by approximately $66.0 million based on the 12-
month period ending June 30, 2001, as adjusted.
    PNGTS states that this is its first general rate change filing 
since completion of the pipelines construction in March of 1999. PNGTS 
further states that the proposed rate increase is necessary to: recover 
the actual costs of constructing the pipeline; recover various 
increases in operation and maintenance expenses, taxes, and other 
costs; reflect a change to the depreciation rate for general plant; 
commence recovery of negative salvage costs; reflect the 
discontinuation of deferrals for the regulatory asset associated with 
the prior rate levelization; and allow PNGTS to earn an adequate return 
on its investment.
    PNGTS states that copies of this filing are being served on all 
jurisdictional customers, applicable state commissions, and interested 
parties that have requested service.
    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. This filing may 
also be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS''
