Transmission and Gulf state that the purpose of their filing is to
implement the necessary tariff changes so that Transmission and Gulf
can each participate in the Commission's Proposed Experimental Pilot
Program to Relax the Price Cap for Secondary Market Transactions (Pilot
Program) issued in Docket No. RM96-14-001 on July 31, 1996.
The non-pro forma tariff sheets have an effective date of November
1, 1996, and they contain changes to reflect early implementation on a
permanent basis of the capacity release timeline proposed by the Gas
Industry Standards Board (GISB) and adopted by the Commission in Order
No. 587. Transmission and Gulf request a waiver of 18 CFR 154.207 to
permit the filing of these tariff sheets at this time to be effective
November 1, 1996. The pro forma tariff sheets contain changes to
reflect Transmission's and Gulf's participation in the Pilot Program.
All of the tariff changes are explained in detail in the filing.
Gulf's Fourth Revised Sheet No. 154 requires some explanation. The
new changes reflected on that sheet are being made on the version of
that tariff sheet (Third Revised Sheet No. 154) which Gulf filed with
other tariff sheets initiating Docket No. RP96-283. Revised Sheet No.
154--while accepted (to be effective January 1, 1997)--remains subject
to the outcome of technical conference proceedings in that docket.
However, Gulf states that the changes reflected on Third Revised Sheet
No. 154 in Docket No. RP96-283 were not protested, and reflect a
proposed implementation of more liberal nomination deadlines and intra-
day nomination changes. Consequently, in this filing, Gulf has made
further revisions to Third Revised Sheet No. 154 to reflect the early
implementation of GISB's capacity release timeline, and respectfully
requests that Fourth Revised Sheet No. 154 submitted with this filing
be accepted and suspended to be effective November 1, 1996. In order to
grant this request, Gulf requests a waiver of 18 CFR 154.205.
Transmission and Gulf state that copies of their filing have been
mailed to all firm customers, affected state commissions and
interruptible customers.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said 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 Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's
regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed within 15 days
and comply with the requirements of 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.

Secretary.
