West Texas Gas, Inc.; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas 
Tariff

October 31, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 29, 1997, West Texas Gas, Inc. (WTG), 
submitted for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised 
Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheet, to be effective November 1, 
1997:

Twenty-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 4

    WTG states that the tariff sheet and the accompanying explanatory 
schedules constitute an out-of-cycle PGA filing submitted pursuant to 
the purchased gas adjustment provisions of Section 19, of the General 
Terms and Conditions of its tariff. WYG states that copies of the 
filing were served upon its customers and affected state commissions.
    WTG request the Commission to accept the proposed tariff sheet, 
which reflects an increase of $1,2399 per Mcf in its cost of gas, to be 
effective November 1, 1997. According to WTG, its gas costs have 
increased sharply due to substantial recent increases in the spot price 
of gas. To prevent the accumulation of a significant level of costs in 
its deferred account, WTG requests the Commission to shorten or waive 
the 30-day notice period to permit a prompt adjustment to is sales 
rates.
    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 N.E., 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 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
