filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff

revised tariff sheets in compliance with

sheets reflect the recalculation of rates

based on the return on equity level

mandated in the Commission’s July 31

sheets reflect the recalculation of the

rates based on the return on equity

proposed in Equitrans’ April 30, 1997

rate filing. Both the primary and

alternate rate sheets reflect the

elimination of Equitrans’ proposed

refunctionalization of facilities in

accordance with the July 31 Order.

Equitrans also filed a protest to the

requirement that the primary tariff

sheets be placed into effect.

Equitrans requests a waiver of Section

Regulations and any other regulations

necessary to permit the rates proposed

herein to take effect on August 1, 1997.
