Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

January 5, 1999.
    Take notice that on December 31, 1998, Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans) 
tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised 
Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff sheet to become effective 
February 1, 1999:

Thirteenth Revised Sheet No. 6

    Equitrans states that its filing is a limited Section 4 filing 
under the Commission's Regulations. Equitrans states that the purpose 
of this filing is to implement an increased volumetric products 
extraction rate to be assessed against the quantities of Appalachian 
gas which receive processing on the Equitrans system. Equitrans 
proposes an extraction rate of $0.1841/Dth.
    Equitrans states that it contracts for the processing of 
Appalachian gas supplies received in its West Virginia field system 
with Gulf Energy Gathering and Processing, L.L.C. Equitrans states that 
the proposed extraction rate is based on the annualized actual 
operating costs of the processing plants incurred by Gulf Energy during 
1998, and the actual throughput experienced at the plants over the 
prior 12 months. Equitrans states that this filing comports with the 
practice of reflecting changes in products extraction costs on an 
annual basis as approved by the Commission.
    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, N.E., Washington, D.C. 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 in the Public 
Reference Room.
