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

December 2, 1997.
    Take notice that on November 25, 1997, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No, 1, the following tariff sheets to 
become effective January 1, 1998:

Original Sheet No. 99O
Original Sheet No. 99P

    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 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.
    Columbia states that the instant filing reflects Accrued-But-Not-
Paid Gas Costs in the amount of $9,636.40 plus applicable FERC interest 
of $180.13. This is Columbia's seventh 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 RP-
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, DC 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 the 
proceeding. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.

Acting Secretary.
