Take notice that on April 7, 1997, Southern Natural Gas Company
(Southern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Seventh
Revised Volume No. 1, the revised tariff sheets set forth on Appendix A

On July 17, 1996, the Commission issued Order No. 587 in Docket No.

in said Order. 18 CFR 284.10(b). The standards govern certain aspects
of the following practices of natural gas pipelines: nominations,
allocations, balancing, measurement, invoicing, and capacity release.
The revisions shown on the Tariff Sheets filed herewith reflect
Southern's compliance filing to conform with the GISB standards.
On December 2, 1996, Southern made its compliance filing submitting
pro forma tariff sheets to comply with Order No. 587. On February 13,
1997, the Commission issued an order in this docket in response to
Southern's filing. The order required Southern to revise and submit its
compliance filing for implementation of the approved standards by June
1, 1997.
