02-8410. Portland Natural Gas Transmission System; Notice of Compliance Filing

April 2, 2002.

Take notice that on March 29, 2002, Portland Natural Gas Transmission System (PNGTS) tendered for filing to its FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 1, Substitute First Revised Sheet No. 100, to become effective on April 1, 2002.

PNGTS states that the purpose its filing is to place into effect previously suspended rates at the end of the maximum five-month suspension period, i.e., effective April 1, 2002, in accordance with Section 4(e) of the Natural Gas Act and the Commission's order issued on October 31, 2001 in this proceeding. The Commission's October 31, 2001 order suspended PNGTS's proposed rates filed October 1, 2001 for the maximum five-month statutory period to be effective April 1, 2002, subject to refund, and upon motion by PNGTS. PNGTS's rate change is described in detail in its October 1, 2001 filing, which was previously filed with the Commission, served on all customers and affected state commissions, and is available for public inspection at the Commission.

PNGTS states that the proposed rates to be effective on April 1, 2002 have been adjusted to reflect the elimination of facilities not in service at the end of the suspension period. PNGTS further states that there have been no intervening Commission orders requiring any other changes to the proposed rates.
