    National Fuel states that this filing is made in compliance with 
the Commission's order of August 30, 1996 (the Order), which accepted, 
subject to conditions, the tariff sheets containing new GT&C Section 
17.2, which addresses the provision of transportation and storage 
services at negotiated rates. National Fuel states that the Order 
required it to file tariff language clarifying whether Section 17.2 is 
intended to encompass a formula rate. National Fuel states that the 
instant filing satisfies that condition, and addresses other changes 
that, according to the Order, must be made to its tariff before it may 
charge negotiated rates. These include references to negotiated rates 
in each rate schedule and the tariff sections concerning scheduling and 
curtailment, and the elimination of language in Section 17.2 which 
provided for the calculation of a negotiated rate on a one hundred 
percent load factor basis for purposes of capacity allocation.
    National Fuel states that it is serving copies of the filing to its 
firm customers and interested state commissions. Copies are also being 
served on all interruptible customers as of the date of the filing.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as 
provided in 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 proceeding. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission 
and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
