01-28482. Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Tariff Filing

November 7, 2001.

Take notice that on November 1, 2001, Columbia Gulf Transmission Company(Columbia Gulf) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, tariff sheets listed in Appendix A to the filing, with a proposed effective date of December 1, 2001.

Columbia Gulf proposes to establish Rate Schedule PAL, under which interruptible parking and lending services would be performed, in order to provide its customers with additional flexibility to manage their natural gas supply portfolios and transportation agreements. Proposed Rate Schedule PAL is closely modeled after the parking and lending services already authorized by the Commission. The proposed parking and lending services will allow Columbia Gulf's customers to park or receive loaned gas at agreed upon points of service. Columbia Gulf states that Rate Schedule PAL services are optional and have the lowest scheduling priority.

Columbia Gulf states that copies of its filing have been mailed by first class mail to all firm customers, interruptible customers, and affected state commissions.
