Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America; Notice of Proposed 
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

August 4, 1999.
    Take notice that on July 29, 1999, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of 
America (Natural) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Sixth Revised Volume No. 1, certain revised tariff sheets to be 
effective September 1, 1999.
    Natural states that the purpose of this filing is to establish 
procedures under which it could reserve certain categories of existing 
capacity for future expansions. Natural states that an ``expansion'' 
may include a facility extension such as a delivery lateral where 
potential shippers may also require mainline capacity on Natural's 
existing system. Natural also states that the reservation of such 
capacity would promote the efficient use of existing capacity, minimize 
the costs of constructing new facilities and minimize environmental 
impacts.
    Natural requests waiver of the Commission's Regulations to the 
extent necessary to permit the tariff sheets submitted to become 
effective September 1, 1999.
    Natural states that copies of the filing are being mailed to its 
customers and interested state regulatory agencies.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with 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 proceedings. 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. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
