[Docket No. RP00–358–000]

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America; Notice of Proposed Changes

in FERC Gas Tariff

June 29, 2000.

Take notice that on June 27, 2000,

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America (Natural) tendered for filing as

part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth Review

Volume No. 1, certain tariff sheets to

become effective March 27, 2000.

Natural states that on February 9,

2000, the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (Commission) issued its

final rule regarding the regulation of

short-term interstate natural gas

transportation services in Docket Nos.

RM98–10–000 and RM98–12–000

(Order No. 637). In the instant filing,

Natural is filing to implement

provisions of Order No. 637 regarding

the waiver of the rate ceiling for shortterm capacity release transactions.

Natural states that Order No. 637

provides for a waiver of the rate ceiling

for short-term (less than one year)

capacity release transactions until

September 30, 2002, and requires

pipelines to file tariff revisions within

180 days of the effective date of the rule,

i.e., March 27, 2000, to remove tariff

provisions which are inconsistent with

the removal of the rate ceiling.

Accordingly, Natural is filing revised

tariff sheets as required. Natural states

that its Order No. 637 compliance plan

is not due until July 17, 2000. Therefore,

if Natural were to wait until its Order

No. 637 compliance filing, the tariff

provisions removing the price cap

submitted therein would likely not be

effective until 2001.

Natural respectfully requests waiver

of any provisions of its Tariff and/or the

Commission’s Regulations required to

permit the instant filing to become

effective as proposed.

Natural states that copies of the filing

are being mailed to its customers and

interested state regulatory agencies.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

or protests must be filed in accordance

with 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. Copies

of this filing are on file with the

Commission and are available for public
