Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

August 29, 1997.
    Take notice that on August 26, 1997, Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC 
Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff 
sheets, bearing a proposed effective date of September 1, 1997:

Third Revised Sheet No. 144
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 145
Second Revised Sheet No. 146A

    Columbia Gulf states that the purpose of this filing is to comply 
with the Commission's Order No. 636-C wherein the Commission 
established five years as the maximum length contract term that must be 
matched by a shipper exercising its right of first refusal. In Order 
No. 636-C, the Commission further directed pipelines to reflect this 
five-year term matching cap in their right of first refusal tariff 
provisions within 180 days from issuance of Order No. 636-C. Columbia 
Gulf states that it has revised its General Terms and Conditions 
Sections 4.1(c) (1), (4) and 4.2(d) to provide that the longest 
contract term that a shipper exercising its right of first refusal must 
match is five years.
    Columbia Gulf states that copies of its filing have been mailed to 
all firm customers, interruptible customers, and affected state 
commissions.
    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 interventions or 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 proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must file a 
motion to intervene. A copy of this filing is on file with the 
Commission and is available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room.
