Sea Robin Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

December 18, 1996.
    Take notice that on December 13, 1996, Sea Robin Pipeline Company 
(Sea Robin) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First 
Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets set forth on Appendix A to the 
filing, to become effective January 1, 1997.
    Sea Robin states that the purpose of this filing is to comply with 
Commission Order Nos. 582 and 582-A prescribing certain procedural 
rules governing the form and composition of interstate natural gas 
pipeline tariffs including, inter alia, that the rates set forth in all 
natural gas companies' tariffs be stated on a thermal basis. Sea Robin 
proposes to state all of its rates on a Dekatherm (Dth) basis effective 
January 1, 1997, since the Commission has approved Dth to be the 
standard unit for nominations, allocations and invoicing. Accordingly, 
Sea Robin has changed all references in its Tariff from MMBtu to Dth in 
addition to stating its reservation charges and calculations for firm 
service on a Dth basis. These tariff changes do not impact firm 
shippers' contract quantities (in Mcf) and do not substantively alter 
the charges shippers pay for transportation service on Sea Robin's 
system.
    In addition, Sea Robin also proposes other clarifications to its 
Tariff required by Order Nos. 582 and 582-A, such as correction of its 
title page and revised references to the Commission's Regulations under 
Part 154 which were changed by the Orders. Sea Robin requests the 
Commission to grant it all waivers necessary to place these provisions 
into effect January 1, 1997.
    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, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedures. All such motions and 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 inspection in the Public 
Reference Room.
