[Docket No. CP97–300–002]

Dauphin Island Gathering Partners;

Notice of Filing of Original FERC Gas

Tariff

September 11, 1997.

Take notice that on September 2,

1997, Dauphin Island Gathering

Partners (DIGP) tendered for filing its

FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 1,

to become effective October 1, 1997.

DIGP states that the filing is in

compliance with the Director of OPR’s

July 24, 1997, letter order in Docket No.

CP97–300–000, et al. and the

Commission’s June 27th order in Docket

No. CP97–300–000, et al. 79 FERC

¶61,391 (1997). (June 27th order).

DIGP states that the tariff sheets

incorporate both the jurisdictional

changes and the change of rates

reflecting a 13.25 percent return on

equity ordered by the June 27th order.

DIGP explains that the tariff sheets also

include Commission-ordered changes to

both the rate schedules and the general

terms and conditions of the tariff.

Further, DIGP says the tariff sheets

reflect DIGP’s compliance with the

provisions of Order No. 587, which

requires each jurisdictional natural gas

pipeline to incorporate into its tariff the

business standards and practices issued

by the Gas Industry Standards Board.

Finally, DIGP’s tariff sheets include

corrections to miscellaneous drafting

errors that were not discovered until

after DIGP filed its pro forma tariff as a

part of its March 21, 1997, conditional

certificate application, which

corrections are necessary, however, to

maintain conformity throughout the

tariff.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

September 19, 1997, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to

intervene or a protest in accordance

with the requirements of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 and

385.211) and the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All

protests filed with the Commission will

be considered by it in determining the

appropriate action to be taken but will

not serve to make the Protestants parties

to the proceeding. Any person wishing

to become a party in any proceeding

herein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

rules. Copies of this filing are on file

with the Commission and are available

for public inspection in the Public

Reference Room.

Secretary.
