    Columbia states that this filing is being submitted pursuant to an 
order issued by the Commission on September 15, 1999, that approved an 
uncontested settlement in the above-referenced proceeding. Columbia Gas 
Transmission Corporation, 88 FERC 61,217 (1999). The settlement 
established environmental cost recovery through unit components of base 
rates, all as more fully set forth in article VI of the settlement 
agreement filed April 5, 1999 (Phase II Settlement).
    Columbia is required to file annually a limited NGA section 4 
filing to adjust its environmental unit components effective February 1 
to recover its environmental costs covered by the Phase II Settlement, 
within agreed-upon ceilings and recovery percentages. For the annual 
period February 1, 2003, through January 31, 2004, the Phase II 
Settlement permits Columbia to collect ``no more than $14 million 
annually in Main Program Costs'', and ``no more than $3 million 
annually in Storage Well Program Costs.'' per article VI(B) of the 
Phase II Settlement.
    Columbia states that the instant filing satisfies that requirement. 
It provides for the February 1, 2003, effectiveness of revised unit 
components designed to collect $12 million in main program costs and to 
flowback an over-recovery of $ 0.5 million of storage well program 
costs.
    Columbia states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all 
firm customers, interruptible customers and affected state commissions.
