Iroquois Gas Transmission System,

L.P.; Notice of Proposed Changes in

FERC Gas Tariff

October 27, 1997.

Take notice that on October 21, 1997,

Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P.

(Iroquois) tendered for filing as part of

its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised

Volume No. 1, Substitute Eighteenth

Revised Sheet No. 4, with a proposed

effective date of November 1, 1997.

Iroquois states that pursuant to Part

154 of the Commission’s regulations and

Section 12.3 of the General Terms and

Conditions of its tariff, Iroquois is filing

the referenced tariff sheet and

supporting workpapers as part of its

annual update of its Deferred Asset

Surcharge to reflect the annual revenue

requirement associated with its Deferred

Asset for the amortization period

commencing November 1, 1997.

Iroquois states that the substitute tariff

sheet corrects an error contained in its

original filing. The revised tariff sheet

reflects an increase of $.0001 per Dth in

Iroquois’ effective Deferred Asset

Surcharge for Zone 2 of $.0001 per Dth

(from $.0006 to $.0007 per Dth), and an

increase in the Inter-Zone surcharge of

$.0001 per Dth (from $.0015 to $.0016

per Dth). Iroquois requests a waiver of

Section 154.207 of the Commission’s

regulations to permit the tariff sheet to

become effective on November 1, 1997.

Iroquois states that copies of its filing

were served on all jurisdictional

customers and interested state

commissions.

Any person desiring to protest said

filing should filed a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Section

385.211 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedures. All such

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.

Kansas Pipeline Company; Notice of

Amendment to Application

October 27, 1997.

Take notice that on October 21, 1997,

Kansas Pipeline Company, majority

owner and operator of Riverside

Pipeline Company, L.P. (‘‘Kansas

Pipeline’’), 8325 Lenexa Drive, Suite

400, Lenexa, Kansas 66214, filed a letter

and pro forma tariff sheets that propose

to amend its application and proposed

tariff that is the subject of the

Commission’s October 3, 1997 order in

the above docketed proceeding, Kansas

Pipeline Company, et. al., 81 FERC

¶ 61,005 (1997) (October 3 Order).

Specifically, these tariff sheets are

designed to permit the certificate

holder, Kansas Pipeline, to implement

negotiated transportation rates with its

customers pursuant to the Commission’s

Policy Statement on Alternatives to

Traditional Cost-of-Service Ratemaking

for Natural Gas Pipelines issued in

Docket No. RM95–6–000, 74 FERC

¶ 61,076 (1996).

The pro forma tariff sheets filed by

Kansas Pipeline propose negotiated

rates for its two largest customers that,

in the aggregate, account for

approximately 99 percent of Kansas

Pipeline’s deliveries. For Western

Resources, Inc., the negotiated rate is

the outcome of a Settlement Agreement

dated July 9, 1997 and finalized by an

order of the Kansas Corporation

Commission, a party to the Settlement

Agreement. In the case of Missouri Gas

Energy, a Division of Southern Union

Company (MGE), the negotiated rate is

that which is set forth in its Firm Gas

Transportation Service Agreement with

Kansas Pipeline dated February 24,

1995.

In the filed letter, Kansas Pipeline

also seeks clarification as to whether the

Commission’s October 3 Order requires

service to MGE to be implemented

under the generally applicable rates,

terms and conditions set forth in the

tariff that is the subject of the October

3 Order, rather than pursuant to the

parties’ February 24, 1995 contract.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

November 10, 1997, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 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 or 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 proceedings. Any person wishing

to become a party to a proceeding or to

participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas

Act and Commission’s Rules of Practice

and Procedure, a hearing will be held

without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that a grant of the

certificate is required by the public

convenience and necessity. If a motion

for leave to intervene is timely filed, or

if the Commission on its own motion

believes that a formal hearing is

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Kansas Pipeline to

appear or be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
