[[Page 36720]]
Revised Volume No. 1. Columbia filed its SFC Tariff provision and
resulting initial SFC as part of its August 1, 1995, general rate case
filing pursuant to Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act initiating Docket
No. RP95-408. The SFC was accepted and suspended effective February 1,
1996, and it is currently set for hearing before an Administrative Law
Judge in Docket No. RP95-408. GTC Section 46.3(b) requires Columbia to
restate the SFC twice a year (Adjustment Filings). This filing is
Columbia's first Adjustment Filing recalculating the SFC pursuant to
GTC Section 46.3(b) to be effective August 1, 1996. By this filing,
Columbia is proposing a reduction in the SFC to reflect adjustments to
the unamortized balance of ``Stranded Facilities Costs'' including:
collections for the first biannual collection period; updates for
actual activity since February 1, 1996, including for the actual net
book value of stranded facilities as of January 31, 1996; the
collection of only FERC interest on the unamortized balance; certain
capital expenditures to maintain stranded facilities; and to reflect
other adjustments as more fully explained in the filing. Columbia
states that it has recalculated the SFC based upon projected demand
determinats for the twelve month period commencing August 1, 1996,
consistent with GTC Section 46.3.
Columbia states that copies of its filing are available for
inspection at its offices at 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, SE., Charleston,
West Virginia, and 700 Thirteenth Street, NW., Suite 900, Washington,
DC; and have been mailed to all firm customers, affected state
Commissions and interruptible customers.
Any person desiring to be heard or protest said filing should file
a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC. 20426, in accordance
with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure. All such motions or protests must be filed as provided
