Trailblazer states that the purpose of

the filing is to comply with Ordering

Paragraph (A) of the Commission’s order

issued September 15, 1997 in Docket

Nos. RP97–336–001 and 002 (September

15th Order), which required Trailblazer

to delete from its Tariff the sentence, ‘‘If

the rate will sometimes be less than but

will never exceed the applicable

maximum rate, such rate will be

considered a discounted rate rather than

a Negotiated Rate.’’ Trailblazer states

that in the present filing it has reflected

this change to be effective June 1, 1997,

as well as conforming changes to be

effective November 1, 1997, to sheets

approved by OPR letter order issued

July 31, 1997 in Docket No. RP97–54–

006 (July 31st Letter Order).

Trailblazer requests waiver of the

Commission’s Regulations to the extent

necessary to permit the tendered tariff

sheets to become effective as indicated

in the present filing consistent with the

September 15th Order and the July 31st

Letter Order.

Trailblazer states that copies of the

filing have been mailed to its

transportation customers, interested

state regulatory agencies, and all parties

set out on the official service lists in

Docket No. RP97–336.

Any person desiring to protest said

filing should file a motion with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with Section

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

the proceeding. Copies of this filing are

on file with the Commission and are

available for public inspection in the

Public Reference Room.

Viking Gas Transmission Company;

Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC

Gas Tariff

September 26, 1997.

Take notice that on September 23,

1997, Viking Gas Transmission

Company (Viking) tendered for filing as

part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised

Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on

Appendix A to the filing to be effective

November 1, 1997.

Viking states that the purpose of this

filing is to establish a new Rate

Schedule FT–C, which will be

applicable to the expansion capacity

approved by the Commission on May 6,

1997 in ‘‘Order Issuing Certificate,’’

Docket No. CP97–93–000, 79 FERC

¶ 61,136 (1997). Rate Schedule FT–C is

identical in all respects to Viking’s

existing FT–A rate schedule, except that

it applies only to firm shippers using

the expansion capacity. Viking is also

filing to implement the initial

incremental demand rate of $8.65 Dth/

month approved by the Commission in

the May 6, 1997 certificate order.

As provided in the Commission’s

order, this initial rate for FT–C service

will be subject to a retroactive ‘‘true-up’’

filing after a final accounting for the

project has been completed. Viking

states that it is also making

miscellaneous tariff modifications so

that its tariff properly reflects the

existence of Viking’s new Rate Schedule

FT–C.

Viking states that copies of the filing

have been mailed to all of its

jurisdictional customers and to affected

state regulatory commissions.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,

in accordance with Sections 385.211

and 385.214 of the Commission’s Rules

of Practice and Procedure. All such

motions 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 proceeding.

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

inspection.

Take notice that on September 22,

1997, Williams Natural Gas Company

(WNG), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma

157.205, 157.212, and 157.216, of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.212, 157.216) for authorization to

upgrade the United Cities Gas Company

Olathe Naval Base meter setting and

appurtenant facilities located in Johnson

County, Kansas under WNG’s blanket

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82–

479–000 pursuant to Section 7 of the

Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set

forth in the request that is on file with

WNG states that the total projected

volume of delivery through the new

facilities is estimated to be 407,400 Dth

annually with a peak day volume of

2,500 Dth. The total project cost is

estimated to be $162,282 which will be

offset by the execution of a new

incremental one year firm transportation

agreement. WNG states that this change

is not prohibited by an existing tariff

and that it has sufficient capacity to

accomplish the deliveries specified

without detriment or disadvantage to its

other customers.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefor,

the proposed activity shall be deemed to

be authorized effective the day after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest is filed and not withdrawn

within 30 days after the time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.

Secretary.
