Louisiana State Gas Corporation; Notice of Petition for Rate 
Approval

June 7, 1996.
    Take notice that on May 31, 1996, Louisiana State Gas Corporation 
(Louisiana) filed pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2) of the Commission's 
regulations, a petition for rate approval requesting that the 
Commission approve as fair and equitable a rate of $0.1655 per MMBtu 
for transportation services performed under section 311(a)(2) of the 
Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA).
    Louisiana states that it is an intrastate pipeline within the 
meaning of section 2(16) of the NGPA and it owns and operates an 
intrastate pipeline system in the State of Louisiana. Louisiana 
proposes an effective date of June 1, 1996.
    Pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2)(ii), if the Commission does not 
act within 150 days of the filing date, the rate will be deemed to be 
fair and equitable and not in excess of an amount which interstate 
pipelines would be permitted to charge for similar transportation 
service. The Commission may, prior to the expiration of the 150-day 
period, extend the time for action or institute a proceeding to afford 
parties an opportunity for written comments and for oral presentation 
of views, data, and arguments.
    Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must 
file a motion to intervene in accordance with sections 385.211 and 
385.214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures. All 
motions must be filed with the Secretary of the Commission on or before 
June 24, 1996. The petition for rate approval is on file with the 
Commission and is available for public inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
