ongoing program to replace its GG3

compressor units to ensure more

efficient and reliable operation of its

pipeline system. Columbia estimates the

the accumulated Provision for

Depreciation of Gas Utility Plant to be

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

Act and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, a hearing will

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Dauphin Island Gathering Partners;

Notice of Tariff Filing

October 21, 1997.

Take notice that on October 15, 1997,

Dauphin Island Gathering Partners

(DIGP) tendered for filing as part of its

FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 1,

revised tariff sheets to be effective on

the same date that DIGP’s compliance

tariff, filed on September 2, 1997 in

Docket No. CP97–300–002, is permitted

to become effective. The revised tariff

sheets tendered by DIGP are listed on

Appendix A to the filing.

DIGP states that the purpose of its

filing is threefold: (i) compliance with

Order No. 636–C, which requires any

pipeline with a right-of-first refusal

tariff provision containing a contract

matching term cap longer than five

years to revise its tariff; (ii) compliance

with a Commission order issued on June

27, 1997, 79 FERC ¶ 61,391 (1997),

requiring DIGP to file tariff sheets to

implement the EDI/EDM requirements

proposed by the Gas Industry Standards

Board and adopted by the Commission

in Order Nos. 587 et al.; and (iii)

revisions to conform the tariff to the

operating capabilities of the computer

system to be used by DIGP, to more

accurately reflect how the DIGP

facilities will be operated on a daily

basis and to provide the same level of

flexibility that has been approved in

other recently-issued Commission

orders. The tariff sheet that reflects the

first category of changes, compliance

with Order No. 636–C, is Substitute

Original Sheet No. 183, Section 18.4.

The tariff sheets reflecting the second

category of changes, compliance with

the EDI/EDM requirements, are

Substitute Original Sheet No. 169,

Section 14.1 and Substitute Original

Sheet No. 226. All of the remaining

tariff sheets are intended to set forth the

third category of changes.

DIGP further requests that the

Commission waive sections 154.203(b)

and 154.207 of the regulations to permit

the filing of the tariff sheets and their
