Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in
FERC Gas Tariff
March 4, 1998.
Take notice that on February 27, 1998, Columbia Gulf Transmission
Company (Columbia Gulf) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff
sheets, with a proposed effective date of April 1, 1998:
Eighteenth Revised Sheet No. 018
Eighth Revised Sheet No. 018A
Nineteenth Revised Sheet No. 019
Columbia Gulf states that this filing represents Columbia Gulf's
annual filing pursuant to the provisions of Section 33,
``Transportation Retainage Adjustment (TRA)'', of the General Terms and
Conditions (GTC) of its Tariff.
Columbia Gulf states that the tariff sheets listed above set forth
the transportation retainage factors as a result of this filing. GTC
Section 33.2 enables Columbia Gulf to state retainage factors for its
rate zones, which factors consist of a current and an over/under
recovered component. Pursuant to GTC Section 33.4(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. Pursuant to
GTC Section 33.4(b) the over/under recovered component reflects the
reconciliation of ``actual'' company-use, lost, and unaccounted-for
quantities with quantities actually retained by Columbia Gulf for the
preceding calendar year; i.e., the deferral period.
The deferral period for this annual filing is the preceding
calendar year being January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997. Appendix
A, pages 5 and 6, set forth Columbia Gulf's actual experience during
the deferral period. As reflected therein, Columbia Gulf was in a net
over-recovery position as of December 31, 1997. Consequently, in this
filing Columbia Gulf is implementing an over/under recovered surcharge
component for each of the retainage factors to decrease future
quantities to be retained.
Columbia Gulf 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.
