Transwestern Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

May 9, 1995.
    Take notice that on May 4, 1995, Transwestern Pipeline Company 
(Transwestern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets:

Effective May 4, 1995:
    2nd Revised Sheet No. 95A
    3rd Revised Sheet No. 95C
    2nd Revised Sheet No. 95D
    2nd Revised Sheet No. 95E
    2nd Revised Sheet No. 95F
    2nd Revised Sheet No. 95K
    1st Revised Sheet No. 95M
    2nd Revised Sheet No. 95N
Effective June 5, 1995:
    3rd Revised Sheet No. 95B

    Transwestern states that the purpose of this filing is to revise 
certain portions of its tariff to comply with the Commission's Final 
Rule, Order No. 577 (Order), issued March 29, 1995 in Docket No. RM95-
5-000. This Order, to be effective May 4, 1995, amended 18 CFR 
284.243(h) of the Commission's capacity release regulations. In this 
Order, the Commission has extended the exception from advance posting 
and bidding to one full calendar months. The Order also revises 
provisions regarding roll-overs of exempted releases by providing for a 
28 (rather than 30) day hiatus during which shippers that release 
capacity at less than the maximum rate cannot re-release capacity to 
the same replacement shipper (at less than maximum rate).
    In addition, Transwestern is proposing to revise Section 30.4(b) of 
its capacity release provisions relating to posting certain information 
regarding pre-arranged deals. Transwestern is submitting tariff sheets 
that would remove the requirement to post the following: (1) The name 
of the Pre-Arranged Shipper; and (2) whether the Pre-Arranged Shipper 
is an affiliate of the Releasing Shipper or Transwestern. Transwestern 
believes that this change is consistent with the spirit of Order No. 
636. With respect to pre-arranged deals the Commission's goal was to 
ensure that the released capacity was allocated pursuant to the best 
offer regardless of the identity of the Pre-Arranged Shipper. 
Transwestern submits that it will continue to post information 
regarding the identity of the Pre-Arranged Shipper and its affiliation 
to the Releasing Shipper or Transwestern on an after-the-fact basis, 
thereby allowing interested parties to monitor affiliate transactions.
    Transwestern states that copies of the filing were served on its 
gas utility customers, interested state commissions, and all parties to 
this proceeding.
    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 NE., 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 16, 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 proceeding. Any person 
wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of 
this filing are on file with the [[Page 25896]] Commission and are 
available for public inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
