Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

September 3, 1997.
    Take notice that on August 29, 1997, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following original tariff 
sheets to become effective October 1, 1997:

Original Sheet No. 99M
Original Sheet No. 99N

    Pursuant to the prior agreements of the parties following 
Columbia's first filing to recover Accrued-But-Not-Paid Gas Costs, this 
filing should be sub-docketed under the RP96-140 docket number.
    Columbia states that the instant filing is being submitted pursuant 
to Article VII, Section C, Accrued-But-Not-Paid Gas Costs, of the 
``Customer Settlement'' in Docket No. GP94-02, et al., approved by the 
Commission on June 15, 1995 (71 FERC para. 61,337 (1995)). The Customer 
Settlement became effective on November 28, 1995, when the Bankruptcy 
Court's November 1, 1995 order approving Columbia's Plan of 
Reorganization became final. Under the terms of Article VII, Section C, 
Columbia is entitled to recover amounts for Accrued-But-Not-Paid Gas 
Costs. As directed by Article VII, Section C, the tariff sheets 
contained herein are being filed in accordance with Section 39 of the 
General Terms and Conditions of the Tariff, to direct bill the Accrued-
But-Not-Paid Gas Costs that have been paid subsequent to November 28, 
1995. The instant filing reflects Accrued-But-Not-Paid Gas Costs in the 
amount of $179,316.85 plus applicable FERC interest of $3,324.29. This 
is Columbia's sixth filing pursuant to Article VII, Section C, and 
Columbia reserves the right to make the appropriate additional filings 
pursuant to that provision. The allocation factors on Appendix F of the 
Customer Settlement were used as prescribed by Article VII, Section C.

    Columbia states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all 
parties on the Commission's service list in Docket No. RP96-140 and 
RP96-140-002, and to each of Columbia's firm customers, interruptible 
customers, and affected state commissions. Columbia also agrees to make 
available for this filing the data that it was required to provide in 
its June 13, 1996 compliance filing in Docket No. RP96-140-002 pursuant 
to a protective agreement.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 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

and is available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
