May 6, 2003.

Take notice that on May 1, 2003, Midwestern Gas Transmission Company (Midwestern) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, Seventh Revised Sheet No. 273, to become effective May 1, 2003.

Midwestern states that it has entered into two Negotiated Rate Agreements with Northern Illinois Gas Company, d/b/a Nicor Gas (Nicor): Contract No. FA0167 and FA0168. Midwestern explains that these contracts provide the following information: (1) The exact legal name of the shipper; (2) the total charges (the negotiated rate and all applicable charges); (3) the receipt and delivery points; (4) the volume of gas to be transported; and (5) the applicable rate schedule for the service. In addition, Midwestern is filing Sheet No. 273 to reflect that the Negotiated Rates contain non-conforming terms. Midwestern states that Sheet No. 273 also contains a minor housekeeping change, and that contract numbers have been added to identify each non-conforming agreement that is listed on Sheet No. 273.

Midwestern states that copies of this filing have been sent to all of Midwestern's contracted shippers and interested state regulatory 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, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with § 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.
