Take notice that on May 26, 2000, Columbia Gulf Transmission Company (Columbia Gulf) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff sheets with a proposed effective date of May 1, 2000:

Substitute Fourth Revised Sheet No. 144

Substitute Fifth Revised Sheet No. 145

Substitute Third Revised Sheet No. 147

Columbia Gulf states on March 31, 2000, it filed tariff sheets in Docket No. RP00-238 to revise its tariff to comply with the Commission's changes in its Order No. 637 to the right-of-first-refusal (ROFR) afforded certain firm shippers in 18 CFR 284.221(d)(2)(ii). In Order No. 637, the Commission revised the ROFR to limit its applicability. Columbia Gulf revised General Terms and Conditions (GTC) Section 4, which contains the procedures for the awarding of existing firm capacity and the exercise of the ROFR on Columbia Gulf, to reflect these changes. On April 26, 2000, the Commission accepted the filed tariff sheets to be effective May 1, 2000, subject to Columbia Gulf making certain revisions within 30 days. The instant filing is being made to comply with the April 26 Order.

Columbia Gulf states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all firm customers, interruptible customers, and affected state commissions.

All such protests must be filed as provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations.
