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

February 24, 1998.
    Take notice that on February 18, 1998, Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised sheets, 
bearing a proposed effective date of March 20, 1998:

Third Revised Sheet No. 039
Second Revised Sheet No. 040
Third Revised Sheet No. 046
Third Revised Sheet No. 055A
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 063A
Third Revised Sheet No. 163

    Columbia Gulf states that the above referenced tariff sheets are 
being tendered for filing to correct the General Terms and Conditions 
(GTC), Section 1, of Columbia Gulf's Second Revised Volume No. 1 Tariff 
in order to reincorporate language for negotiated rate arrangements. 
Columbia Gulf previously filed to incorporate this language in its 
filings under Docket No. RP96-389 filed on September 25, 1996 and 
November 15, 1996. By Commission orders issued on October 31, 1996 (77 
FERC para. 61,093) and March 12, 1997 (78 FERC para. 61,263), these and 
other tariff sheets were accepted to become effective November 1, 1996.
    Prior to the aforementioned filings, Columbia Gulf had filed 
revised tariff sheets on June 21, 1996 in Docket No. RP96-283. The 
tariff sheets were proposed to incorporate certain new services and 
were to be effective on August 1, 1996, but were suspended by 
Commission order dated July 31, 1996 (76 FERC para. 61,104) to become 
effective January 1, 1997. On October 15, 1996, in Docket No. RP96-283, 
Columbia Gulf filed to withdraw certain tariff sheets and have the 
remaining tariff sheets to become effective May 1, 1997 in conjunction 
with Columbia Gulf's motion filing in Docket No. RP97-52. The 
Commission accepted the October 15, 1996 filing on December 18, 1996 
(77 FERC para. 61,276). On April 29, 1997, Columbia Gulf filed its 
motion rate filing in Docket No. RP97-52 which was accepted by 
Commission order dated June 16, 1997 (79 FERC para. 61,351) with an 
effective date of May 1, 1997.
    It has come to Columbia Gulf's attention that the language for the 
negotiated rates in its tariff was inadvertently omitted from the 
tariff sheets when they were motioned to come out of suspension and 
into effect on May 1, 1997. The instant filing places the negotiated 
language back into the GTC as applicable.
    Columbia Gulf states that copies of its filing have been mailed to 
all firm customers, interruptible customers, 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 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations. All such motions 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 proceeding. 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.

Acting Secretary.
