01-30130. KO Transmission Company; Notice of Tariff Filing

November 29, 2001.

Take notice that on November 23, 2001, KO Transmission Company (KOT) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 1, Eleventh Revised Sheet No. 10, bearing a proposed effective date of December 1, 2001.

KO Transmission states that the purpose of the filing is to revise its fuel retainage percentage consistent with section 24 of the General Terms and Conditions of its Tariff. According to KOT, Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia) operates and maintains a portion of KOT facilities pursuant to the Operating Agreement referenced in its Tariff at Original Sheet No. 7. Pursuant to that Operating Agreement, Columbia retains certain volumes associated with gas transported on behalf of KOT. On March 5, 2001, Columbia notified KOT that under terms of the Operating Agreement, KOT will be subject to a 1.39% retainage. By its October 31, 2001 report to the Commission, in Docket No. RP01-262-002, Columbia has notified the Commission of its intention to reduce its transportation retainage adjustment from 2.776% to 2.447%. Accordingly, KOT seeks to track this decrease in its fuel retainage, pursuant to GT&C section 24 of its Tariff. KOT thus files for a 1.07% fuel retainage effective December 1, 2001.

Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with sections 385.214 or 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 proceedings. 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.
