ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of

Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

December 2, 1997.

Take notice that on November 26,

1997, ANR Pipeline Company [ANR]

tendered for filing, as part of its FERC

Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No.

1, the following tariff sheets proposed to

become effective December 1, 1997:

Twenty-ninth Revised Sheet No. 8

Twenty-ninth Revised Sheet No. 9

Twenty-eighth Revised Sheet No. 13

Thirty-third Revised Sheet No. 18

ANR states that the above-referenced

tariff sheets are being filed to implement

recovery of approximately $1.6 million

of above-market costs that are associated

with its obligations to Dakota

Gasification Company (Dakota). ANR

proposes a reservation surcharge

applicable to its Part 284 firm

transportation customers to collect

ninety percent (90%) of the Dakota

costs, and an adjustment to the

maximum base tariff rates of Rate

Schedule ITS and overrun rates

applicable to Rate Schedule FTS–2, so

as to recover the remaining ten percent

(10%). ANR also advises that the

proposed changes would decrease

current quarterly Above-Market Dakota

Cost recoveries from $2.5 million to $1.6

million, based primarily upon a onetime refund from Northern Border

Pipeline Company.

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, N.E., Washington D.C.

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.

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
