Natural states that these sheets were filed to revise several rate schedules and the General Terms and Conditions of Natural's Tariff by making minor updates in four areas by: (1) Making a minor change to Natural's provision for scheduling interruptible services, (2) eliminating from Natural's service request procedures in various rate schedules certain data elements which are no longer relevant, (3) revising the information which may be kept confidential in a capacity release to reflect the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's transactional posting requirements and (4) correcting several tariff sheets by eliminating duplicative language and an outdated section reference.

Natural states that copies of the filing are being mailed to its customers and interested state regulatory agencies.
