Columbia Gas Transmission Corp.; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

January 17, 1996.
    Taken notice that on January 5, 1996, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC 
Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff 
sheet bearing a proposed effective date of February 1, 1996.

Fourth Revised Sheet No. 395

    Columbia states that the purpose of this filing is to revise 
Section 20 (Discounting) of the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) of 
Columbia's FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1 (Tariff), which 
provides for the appropriate apportionment of discounts consistent with 
the Commission's policy on the order of apportionment of discounts to 
base rates and transition cost components of rates. Columbia states 
that it is revising Section 20.2 to refer to the Stranded Facilities 
Charge (SFC) in GTC Section 46 of its Tariff, which was part of 
Columbia's general Section 4 rate filing on August 1, 1995 in Docket 
No. RP95-408 currently set for hearing.
    Columbia states that GTC Section 46 and the SFC provide for 
Columbia's recovery of costs associated with stranded gathering and 
products extraction facilities as a result of implementation of Order 
No. 636. As with the other transition cost items currently listed in 
GTC Section 20.2, pursuant to this filing the SFC component will be 
discounted after base rate and non-transition cost components. GTC 
Section 46 and the SFC will become effective on February 1, 1996, 
subject to refund and hearing. Consequently, Columbia states that it is 
appropriate that this tariff revision also be made effective on 
February 1, 1996, and Columbia respectfully requests a waiver of 
Section 154.207 of the Commission's regulations in order to permit this 
tariff sheet to become effective on that date.
    Columbia states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all 
firm customers, affected state commissions and interruptible customers 
that have made a standing request for service of filings.
