Mississippi River Transmission Corporation; Notice of Tariff 
Filing

March 19, 2002.
    Take notice that on March 13, 2002, Mississippi River Transmission 
Corporation (MRT) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Third Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff sheets to be 
effective April 12, 2002:

First Revised Sheet No. 37
First Revised Sheet No. 39
Second Revised Sheet No. 40
First Revised Sheet No. 43
First Revised Sheet No. 45
First Revised Sheet No. 50
1st Rev. First Revised Sheet No. 183

    MRT states that the revised tariff sheets will modify the Tariff's 
General Terms and Conditions and the Tariff provisions applicable to No 
Notice Transportation Service (Rate Schedule NNT) and Firm Storage 
Service (Rate Schedule FSS), to grant greater flexibility to customers 
in securing through their service agreements the exact services that 
best suit their needs, in a manner consistent with Commission policy. 
Specifically, MRT states that it is proposing the ability to negotiate 
(1) a contractual right of first refusal (``ROFR'') in certain 
circumstances where a regulatory ROFR otherwise would not be available 
to the customer pursuant to Commission regulations, (2) a reduction of 
a customer's contract entitlements where there has been a bypass of 
that customer by a third party, and (3) a process for cooperative 
efforts between MRT and a customer to implement any regulatory or other 
governmental order whereby a customer is to unbundle the services that 
it provides to its own customers. MRT states that the revised tariff 
sheets also provide additional flexibility for a storage customer with 
regard to the requirements governing injections into and withdrawals 
from MRT's storage facilities.
    MRT states that it has served copies of the filing upon all 
customers and relevant 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. This filing may 
also be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' 
link, select ``Docket#'' and follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222
