Western Gas Interstate Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

October 22, 1996.
    Take notice that on October 17, 1996, Western Gas Interstate 
Company (WGI), tendered for filing proposed changes in its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Fourth Revised Volume No. 1, First Revised Sheet No. 10, with a 
proposed effective date of October 1, 1996.
    WGI states that it is submitting the tariff sheet to comply with 
Order No. 472 in Docket No. RM87-3-000, establishing that cost 
responsibility for the Commission's budgetary expenses would be 
assessed against gas pipelines and others through annual charges. Order 
No. 472 permitted pipelines to pass through these annual charges by 
means of an Annual Charge Adjustment Provision. In accordance with 
Order No. 472 and Section 28 of the General Terms and Conditions of 
WGI's FERC Gas Tariff, WGI submits for filing First Revised Sheet No. 
10 to track the Commission's approved ACA unit rate of $0.0020 per Mcf 
($0.0020 per MMBtu on WGI's system) effective October 1, 1996.
    WGI requests waiver of Section 154.402(b)(3) of the Commission's 
rules in order to permit the proposed tariff sheet to become effective 
on October 1, 1996.
    WGI states that copies of the filing were served upon WGI's 
jurisdictional customers and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or 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 the protestants parties to the 
proceeding. 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.

Secretary.
