Black Marlin Pipeline Company; Notice of Compliance Filing

January 12, 1999.
    Take notice that on January 6, 1999, Black Marlin Pipeline Company 
(Black Marlin) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
First Revised Volume No. 1 the following tariff sheets, with an 
effective date on November 2, 1998:

Second Substitute Fourth Revised Sheet No. 201A
Substitute Original Sheet No. 211D
Original Sheet No. 211E

    Black Marlin states that on October 1, 1998, in Docket No. RP99-15-
000 tariff changes were filed (October 1 Filing) to implement the 
provisions of Order Nos. 587-G and 587-H regarding the intraday 
nomination and scheduling procedures and timeline promulgated by the 
Gas Industry Standards Board (GISB), including the regulations adopted 
by the Commission regarding the bumping of scheduled interruptible 
service by firm shippers. On October 30, 1998 the Commission issued a 
Letter Order (October 30 Order) accepting the tariff sheets subject to 
Black Marlin filing, within 15 days of the date of the order, revisions 
consistent with certain conditions discussed in the October 30 Order. 
On November 12, 1998 Black Marlin filed revised tariff sheets (November 
12 Filing) to comply with the Order 30 Order.
    Black Marlin further states that parts (i) through (iii) of GISB 
Standard 1.3.22 were included verbatim on Sheet No. 211D and part (iv) 
incorporated by reference on Sheet 201A in the October 1 Filing. The 
October 30 Order stated that Black Marrlin must either include the 
entire standard verbatim or incorporate the entire standard by 
reference. Black Marlin filed a revision to include the entire standard 
by reference on Sheet No. 201A in the November 12 Filing but did not 
remove the verbatim language from Sheet No. 211D. On December 22, 1998 
the Commission issued a Letter Order (December 22 Order) accepting the 
revised tariff sheet submitted with the November 12 Filing, but 
reiterated that the October 30 Order required Black Marlin to either 
include the entire GISB Standard 1.3.22 verbatim or by reference, but 
not both. The December 22 Order directed Black Marlin to make another 
compliance filing within 15 days.
    Black Marlin states that it has elected in the instant filing to 
include the entire standard verbatim on Sheet Nos. 211D and 211E and to 
eliminate the incorporation by reference on Sheet No. 201A consistent 
with the October 30 Order.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as 
provided in 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. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission 
and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
