January 15, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 13, 1998, Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans) 
tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised 
Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff sheets to become effective 
September 1, 1997:

Second Substitute Third Revised Sheet No. 220
Second Substitute Second Revised Sheet No. 220A
Second Substitute Second Revised Sheet No. 220B

    Equitrans states that the proposed tariff sheets are submitted in 
compliance with the Order on Rehearing and Clarification issued by the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) on December 29, 1997 
in Docket No. RP96-147-002. Equitrans states that the Commission 
required Equitrans to file revised tariff sheets to impose late winter 
storage withdrawal limitations or ``ratchets'' on Equitrans' open-
access base load storage Rate Schedule 115SS.
    Equitrans states that it has included revisions to Section 9.3 of 
its General Terms and Conditions to provide that late season storage 
withdrawal ratchets will apply to all firm Part 284 storage services 
including Rate Schedule 115SS. Equitrans states that the inventory 
levels at which ratchets may be applied and the application of ratchets 
based on each individual Part 284 customer's percentage of TASQ which 
remains in storage under each individual Rate Schedule remains 
unchanged from the methodology previously approved by the Commission.
    Any person desiring to protest the filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such protests should 
be filed as provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's 
Regulations. Protests will be considered by the Commission in 
determining appropriate action, but will not serve to make protestants 
parties to the proceeding. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection.

Acting Secretary.
