[[Page 64870]]

9th Revised Sheet No. 16A
16th Revised Sheet No. 17A
7th Revised Sheet No. 18A

    Southern asserts that the purpose of this filing is to comply with 
the Commission's Order issued on September 29, 1995, which approved the 
Stipulation and Agreement (Settlement) filed by Southern on March 15, 
1995 in Docket Nos. RP89-224-012, et al. In accordance with Article VII 
of the Settlement, Southern has made this filing to recover a GSR 
volumetric surcharge based on an estimate of its unrecovered GSR costs 
as of December 31, 1996 and its projected 1997 costs.
    Paragraph 17 of Article VII of the Settlement provides for Southern 
to file by December 1 of each year to collect unrecovered gas supply 
realignment (GSR) costs through its GSR volumetric surcharge, to be 
effective for the parties supporting the Settlement beginning January 1 
of the following year. The proposed GSR volumetric surcharge of $.0074/
MMBtu replaces the $.0628/MMBtu surcharge currently in effect.
    Southern states that copies of the filing were served upon 
Southern's customers, intervening parties and interested state 
commissions.
    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 Section 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 Southern's filing are on file 
with the Commission and are available for public inspection in the 
Public Reference Room.
