[Docket No. TM98-2-21-000]
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Proposed Changes
in FERC Gas Tariff
March 4, 1998.
Take notice that on February 27, 1998, Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation (Columbia) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff sheet
with a proposed effective date of April 1, 1998:
Sixth Revised Sheet No. 44
Columbia states that it submits its annual filing pursuant to the
provisions of Section 35, ``Retainage Adjustment Mechanism (RAM)'', of
the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) of its Tariff. Sixth Revised
Sheet No. 44 sets forth the retainage factors applicable to Columbia's
transportation, storage, processing and gathering services, as revised
by this filing.
GTC Section 35.2 requires Columbia to adjust its retainage
percentages annually. GTC Section 35.4 provides that the retainage
percentages consist of a current and an over/under recovered component.
Pursuant to GTC Section 35.4(a), the current component reflects the
estimate of total company-use, lost, and unaccounted-for quantities
required during the 12-month period commencing, in an annual filing
such as this, on April 1. The over/under recovered component, as
described in GTC Section 35.4(b), reflects the reconciliation of
``actual'' company-use, lost, and unaccounted-for quantities with
quantities actually retained by Columbia for the preceding calendar
year; i.e., the defferal period. The changes in the retainage
percentage applicable to Columbia's transportation, storage, processing
and gathering services are set forth at Appendix A, page 1.
Pursuant to Article III, Section I, (5) of the Stipulation and
Agreement (Stipulation II) at Docket No. RP95-408 et al., Columbia is
including a fixed annual quantity of 650,000 Dth within the calculation
of the current component of the transportation retainage factor, which
amount is to be retained and provided to MarkWest.
Columbia states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all
firm customers, interruptible customers, and affected 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, NE., Washington, DC 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 protestants parties to the
proceeding. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and
are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
