Take notice that on April 30, 1999, Gulf States Pipeline
Corporation (Gulf States), tendered for filing pursuant to Section
284.123(b)(2) of the Commission's Regulations, a petition for rate
approval for transportation services performed under Section 311(a)(2)
of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA). The petition is filed to
comply with a Commission letter order dated March 5, 1997, in Docket
No. PR96-6-000, which approved Gulf State's current rates, and required
a filing on or before May 1, 1999, to justify such rates or establish
new system rates. Gulf States is an intrastate pipeline, incorporated
in Louisiana, whose system is located in north Louisiana. Its mailing
address is 8080 North Central Expressway, #200, Dallas, Texas 75206-
1815.
Gulf States proposes to increase its system rates, and percentage
for recovering, in-kind, gas lost and fuel used. Accordingly, Gulf
States proposes, as fair and equitable, a maximum interruptible
transportation rate of $.4400 per MMBtu, a maximum firm monthly demand
charge of $7.8352, and a maximum firm commodity charge of $.1824 per
MMBtu. Gulf States also proposes a 2% in-kind retention rate. Finally,
Gulf States proposes that shippers will be required to reimburse it for
filing fees incurred in connection with the implementation,
commencement or continuation of Section 311 service, as will be
provided for in relevant service agreements.
Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,

Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as
provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. Protests
will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate

the proceedings. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission
and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
