CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

October 18, 1999.
    Take notice that on October 18, 1999, CNG Transmission Corporation 
(CNG), filed as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 
1, the tariff sheets proposing two new rate schedules, Rate Schedules 
DPO and CSC, together with related changes. CNG requests an effective 
date of November 15, 1999, for these proposed tariff sheets.
    CNG states that the purpose of its filing is propose two new rate 
schedules designed to allow CNG and its shippers to better serve an 
unbundled retail market. The Delivery Point Operator or DPO service is 
designed to give local distribution companies (LDCs) and potentially 
others that operate physical points of interconnection between CNG and 
the LDC system (the citygate) the ability to meet any swings in demand 
or supply at the citygate without the necessity that the LDC itself 
continue to hold contract service rights sufficient to absorb the level 
of potential swings. The Citygate Swing Customer (CSC) Service is a 
companion service to the Rate Schedule DPO service. It gives shippers 
that are not delivery point operators the flexibility to match their 
deliveries into CNG's system with their receipts from CNG without being 
subject to imbalance penalties or other costs that otherwise would be 
barriers to entry of these shippers into the small-customer retail 
market--where seasonal, daily and hourly load variations are 
significant and commonplace.
    CNG states that other, related tariff changes are also proposed. 
CNG proposes to modify Section 6.3 of its General Terms and Conditions 
to include references to the new services. Rate Schedules FT, IT and 
MCS (Wheeling) are modified to provide for explicit hourly flow limits. 
CNG states that it has also made changes to the intra-day nomination 
requirements under its tariff.
    CNG states that copies of its filing have been served upon CNG's 
customers and interested state commissions. CNG also states that copies 
of this filing are available for public inspection during regular 
business hours, at CNG's principal offices in Clarksburg, West 
Virginia.
    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, NE, Washington, DC 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. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
