Concerning Natural Gas Pipeline Negotiated Rate Policies and Practices 
(67 FR 48952, July 25, 2002). The dates for filing initial and reply

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 26, 2002, the National Association 
of State Utility Consumer Advocates (NASUCA) filed a motion for an 
extension of time to file comments in response to the Commission's 
Notice of Inquiry (NOI) issued July 17, 2002, in the above-docketed 
proceeding. In its motion, the NASUCA states that because the issues 
presented in the NOI are of such significant importance to the natural 
gas industry and because of the press of other business, additional 
time is needed for the preparation of responsive comments. The motion 
further states that the Process Gas Consumers Group, the Interstate 
Natural Gas Association of America, the Natural Gas Supply Association 
and the American Gas Industry support the motion for additional time.
    Upon consideration, notice is hereby given that an extension of 
time for filing comments on the NOI is granted to and including 
September 25, 2002. Reply comments shall be filed on or before October 
25, 2002.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Deputy Secretary.
