Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

June 19, 1996.
    Take notice that on June 14, 1996, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Seventh 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets to become effective 
July 15, 1996:

First Revised Sheet No. 164
Second Revised Sheet No. 169
Third Revised Sheet No. 275
First Revised Sheet No. 276-279

    Southern proposes to make the following revisions to the capacity 
release procedures of its tariff to respond to shippers' requests: (1) 
To allow releasing shippers to release segments of their capacity to 
themselves instead of only to third parties; (2) to allow releasing 
shippers to post for competitive bid those offers currently not 
required by the Commission's regulations to be posted (i.e., 
prearranged deals for a month or less); (3) to provide for one business 
day to process prearranged, permanent releases of capacity; and (4) to 
change its posting deadlines from business days to calendar days for 
those offers that do not require manual intervention by Southern, at 
the releasing shipper's option. Southern proposes to make these changes 
effective on July 15, 1996.
    Southern states that copies of the filing have been served on all 
shippers and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make protest to this filing 
should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR Section 385.211 and 385.214). All such 
motions or 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 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 Commission and are available for public inspection 
in the Public Reference Room.
