Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

January 6, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 31, 1997, Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans) 
tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff First Revised Volume 
No. 1, the following revised tariff sheets, with an effective date of 
September 1, 1997:

3rd Sub Second Revised Sheet No. 262
3rd Sub Second Revised Sheet No. 263

    Equitrans states that these revised tariff sheets are submitted in 
compliance with the Commission's December 15, 1997 Letter Order on 
Equitrans' negotiated rates tariff filing. The Commission held that the 
revised tariff sheets generally complied with its prior orders and 
requirements for negotiated rates. However, the Commission required 
Equitrans to additionally modify Sections 30.3 and 30.4 of its General 
Terms and Conditions to provide that when evaluating competing recourse 
and negotiated rate proposals, only the reservation charge or other 
form of guaranteed revenue may be considered and that guaranteed 
revenue will be considered in evaluating capacity release revenue. 
Equitrans states that the proposed revisions to Section 30.3 and 30.4 
of the General Terms and Conditions clarify that reservation charges 
will be used to compare discounted and recourse rates for capacity 
allocation, curtailment, and capacity release purposes.
    Equitrans states that copies of this rate filing were served on the 
parties to this proceeding, as well as Equitrans' jurisdictional 
customers and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such protests should 
be filed as provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's 
Regulations. Protests will be considered by the Commission in 
determining appropriate action, 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
