Columbia states it is making the filing to allow it to mutually agree with shippers, on a not unduly discriminatory basis, to combine multiple service agreements under the same rate schedule with varying terms of service for different contract demand quantities into a single service agreement for purposes of increased administrative ease in nominating daily service requirements on the pipeline. Columbia states its proposed revisions are entirely voluntary on the shipper's part and will not expand or restrict any other shipper's existing firm service rights or obligations under any other provisions of Columbia's Tariff.

Columbia 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 a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with § 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in accordance with § 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.
