E4-1669. Viking Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

July 21, 2004.

Take notice that on July 14, 2004, Viking Gas Transmission Company (Viking) tendered for filing to be part of Viking's FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets proposed to become effective August 13, 2004:

First Revised Sheet No. 39A

Second Revised Sheet No. 87I

Original Sheet No. 87J

Viking is requesting to add section 33 to the General Terms and Conditions of its Tariff entitled “Conditions for Firm Transportation Quantity Reduction” which is designed to provide conformity between its Tariff and certain language existing in certain firm transportation agreements with local distribution companies. Viking also is submitting two potentially non-conforming agreements for Commission review which contain a different prior written notice period than that proposed in the above-referenced section 33.

Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). 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 notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, motions, or protests must be filed in accordance with the provisions of section 154.210 of the Commission's regulations (18 CFR 154.210). Anyone filing an intervention or protest must serve a copy of that document on the Applicant. Anyone filing an intervention or protest on or before the intervention or protest date need not serve motions to intervene or protests on persons other than the Applicant.

The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the “eFiling” link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
