Midwestern Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

July 2, 2002.
    Take notice that on June 24, 2002, Midwestern Gas Transmission 
Company (Midwestern) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, with 
an effective date of August 1, 2002:

Second Revised Sheet No. 5
First Revised Sheet No. 54
First Revised Sheet No. 64
First Revised Sheet No. 73
First Revised Sheet No. 410
First Revised Sheet No. 411
First Revised Sheet No. 415
First Revised Sheet No. 416
Original Sheet No. 416A

    Midwestern is proposing revised tariff sheets to revise and update 
the form of Exhibit A of Midwestern's Firm Gas Transportation Agreement 
and to add an Exhibit A to the form of the Interruptible Gas 
Transportation Agreement in order to clearly state the terms of a 
transportation agreement without necessitating that agreements be filed 
as non-conforming agreements. In addition, Midwestern proposes to 
revise provisions in its tariff to allow the Company and shipper to 
mutually agree to a negotiated Fuel Retention and Loss Quantity 
percentage. Midwestern states that it is at risk for the recovery of 
the gas used for its system operations and lost and unaccounted for 
gas. Midwestern states that this proposal does not impact or increase 
the cost to the other shippers for fuel and loss and unaccounted gas. 
Any transportation agreements that contain a negotiated Fuel Retention 
and Loss Quantity percentage will be indicated on the list of 
Negotiated Rates Agreements and filed with the Commission.
    Midwestern states that the proposed changes will provide more 
flexibility and greater ease for shippers to contract for 
transportation service.
    Midwestern states that copies of this filing have been sent to all 
of

Midwestern's contracted shippers and interested state regulatory 
commissions.

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
