Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

April 25, 1995.
    Take notice that on April 19, 1995, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheet to be 
effective May 4, 1995, the effective date of Order No. 577.

First Revised Sheet No. 351
First Revised Sheet No. 352
First Revised Sheet No. 353
First Revised Sheet No. 354
First Revised Sheet No. 575
First Revised Sheet No. 585

    In Order No. 577, the Commission modified its capacity release 
regulations to permit shippers to release firm capacity for a period of 
one calendar month or less without having to comply with advance 
posting and bidding requirements. A related change provides for a 28 
(rather than 30) day hiatus during which shippers that released 
capacity at less than the maximum rate under the exemptions cannot re-
release that capacity to the same replacement shipper at less than the 
maximum tariff rate.
    Columbia states that the above-referenced tariff sheets are being 
filed to revise the capacity release and assignment provisions and 
forms in the tariff to reflect changes mandated by Order No. 577. In 
addition, Columbia is shortening the duration of minimum posting 
periods for capacity release transactions.
    Columbia states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all 
firm customers and affected state regulatory commissions.
    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, 825 North Capitol Street NW., Washington, D.C. 
20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure. All such motions or protests should be filed 
on or before May 2, 1995. 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 Columbia's 
filings are on file with the Commission and are available for public 
inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
