Southern Natural Gas Co.; Notice of Proposed Changes to FERC Gas 
Tariff

March 22, 1996.
    Take notice that on March 19, 1996, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Seventh 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets to become effective 
April 1, 1996:

First Revised Sheet No. 142
Original Sheet No. 142a

    Southern states that the purpose of this filing is to implement two 
Tariff revisions proposed by Southern in its Stipulation and Agreement 
filed on March 15, 1996, in Docket Nos. RP89-224, et al., and approved 
by the Commission in its order issued on September 29, 1995.
    Southern states that the Tariff provisions proposed to be 
implemented in this filing are (1) to establish a two-day trading 
period for imbalances after the end of each month, and (2) to allow 
storage customers to use their gas in storage or firm storage capacity 
to remedy all or part of their monthly imbalances. Although Southern is 
not required to implement these provisions until the first of the month 
after the Commission issues an order on rehearing in Docket Nos. RP89-
224, et al., it prefers to place these provisions into effect April 1, 
1996, so that such elections are available for application against 
March 1996 imbalances. Since March 1996 imbalances are subject to a new 
cash-out mechanism approved in Docket No. RP96-132, it is preferable 
from a programming standpoint to place the revisions affecting the 
cash-out mechanism into effect at the same time. Since no party 
protested these provisions of the Stipulation and Agreement, Southern 
submits that the Commission should grant it all waivers necessary to 
place these provisions into effect April 1, 1996.
    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, Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Rules 
211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 
CFR Sections 385.211 and 385.214). All such motions and 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. 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.
