    Northwest states that the proposed changes would increase revenues 
from jurisdictional services by approximately $28.1 million based on 
the 12-month period ending May 31, 1996, as adjusted.
    Northwest states that its revenue requirement has increased due to 
increased cost of service, primarily as a result of (1) the sale of a 
significant undivided interest in Northwest's South End facilities and 
the corresponding effect of the removal of facility costs from rate 
base and the elimination of the South End revenue credit, (2) increased 
depreciation expenses related to proposed increases in depreciation 
rates, the implementation of negative net savage allowances and the 
construction of new facilities, and (3) increased operating and 
maintenance expenses.
    Northwest states that its proposed tariff sheets are submitted to 
revise its statement of rates tariff sheets and to eliminate tariff 
provisions that require 90/10 sharing of interruptible transportation 
service revenues over the allocated cost level.
    Northwest states that it has served copies of its filing on all 
affected customers and all interested state regulatory commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest 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 18 CFR 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed as provided 
in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. Protests will be 
considered 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.

Secretary.
