[Docket No. RP96-176-000]
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Filing of
Calculations of Excess Revenues
March 18, 1996.
Take notice that on March 13, 1996, Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation (Columbia), filed its Calculations of Excess Revenues.
Columbia states that prior to February 1, 1996, in accordance with
the former Section 37 (Crediting of Excess Revenues) of the General
Terms and Conditions (GTC) of Columbia's FERC Gas Tariff, Second
Revised Volume No. 1, Columbia credited Excess Revenues from certain
rate schedules to applicable Firm Transportation Customers. Pursuant to
GTC Section 37.3, Columbia was required to calculate the Excess
Revenues for each Applicable Rate Schedule at the earlier of the end of
each 12-month period such rates were in effect, or as of the date such
rates were superseded by a subsequent rate proceeding. Moreover, within
60 days after the end of each such period, Columbia was required to
return the Excess Revenues through dollar credits
[[Page 11821]]
to Firm Transportation Customer bills. Finally, GTC Section 37.3
required the concurrent filing of Excess Revenues calculations for each
Applicable Rate Schedule with the Commission.
On August 1, 1995, Columbia filed a Section 4(e) general rate
proceeding in Docket No. RP95-408, proposing, inter alia, termination
of Excess Revenues crediting and deletion of Section 37 of the GTC. By
order dated August 31, 1995, the Commission allowed Columbia to
terminate GTC Section 37 effective February 1, 1996.
Consistent with the former GTC Section 37, Columbia states that it
is returning such Excess Revenues concurrently with the filing of this
report through dollar credits to Firm Transportation Customer bills.
Columbia also states that it did not meet the revenue threshold for
Rate Schedule ITS, nor did it collect any revenues under Rate Schedule
ISS during the three-month period of November 1, 1995, through January
31, 1996. Columbia further states that it is crediting $181,186 of
Excess Revenues attributable to Rate Schedule SIT. Columbia further
reserves its right to make a subsequent filing to reflect adjustments
applicable to prior Excess Revenues crediting periods.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said 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 Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's
rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed on or
before March 25, 1996. 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
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
