Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in
FERC Gas Tariff
March 3, 1999.
Take notice that on March 1, 1999, 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, 1999:
Twenty-first Revised Sheet No. 18
Eleven Revised Sheet No. 18A
Twenty-second Revised Sheet No. 19
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
[[Page 11461]]
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, 1998 through December 31, 1998. Appendix
A sets forth Columbia Gulf's actual experience during the deferral
period. As reflected therein, Columbia Gulf was in a net under-recovery
positions as of December 31, 1998. Consequently, in this filing
Columbia Gulf is implementing an under-recovered surcharge component
for each of the retainage factors to increase 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 said filing should
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426,
in accordance with Sections 385.214 or 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 proceedings. 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. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
