[Docket Nos. RP98-50-000 and RP98-50-001]
Raton Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in
FERC Gas Tariff
November 20, 1997.
Take notice that on November 14, 1997, Raton Gas Transmission
Company (Raton) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff,
First Revised Volume No. 1, Second Revised Tariff Sheets Nos. 4 and 18
to become effective October 1, 1997.
On November 18, 1997, Raton filed in Docket No. RP98-50-001 its
filing to include a ``redlined'' version showing additions and
deletions to its tariff.
On September 27, 1997, Raton filed First Revised Sheets Nos. 4, 10,
18, and 23 to its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, to
incorporate, in its tariff, the tariff changes made effective as of
October 1, 1996 by Raton's supplier, Colorado Interstate Gas Company
(CIG), pursuant to Docket No. RP96-190. By orders issued October 25 and
December 24, 1996, the Commission accepted Raton's filing in Docket No.
RP96-391, and allowed Raton's tariff changes to be made effective as of
October 1, 1996, subject to a flow through of any refunds received from
CIG upon the termination of Docket No. RP96-190.
On September 16, 1997 CIG filed revised tariff sheets incorporating
the rates agreed to by all parties in the settlement of Docket No.
RP96-190 and the Commission has authorized CIG to make those tariff
sheets effective as of October 1, 1997. Those revised tariff sheets
will provide significant reductions in the cost of the transportation
services provided by CIG to Raton, and Raton proposes to pass those
rate reductions on to its customers.
Raton states that Second Revised Tariff Sheets Nos. 4 and 18,
submitted by Raton, incorporate CIG's charges pursuant to its revised
Rate Schedules NNT-1 and TF-1, certain surcharges which have been
agreed to, and the supplemental seasonal TF-1 contract, pursuant to
which Raton will receive transportation service from CIG effective
October 1, 1997. The charges for the off-speak seasonal FT-1 volumes
will be passed through as surcharges pursuant to Section 18.5. Refunds
and/or credits which Raton will receive from CIG for the period October
1, 1996 through September 30, 1997, will be flowed through to Raton's
customers.
Raton states that a full copy of its filing is being served upon
each of its two customers and upon the New Mexico Public Service
Commission.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 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 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 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
