Southern asserts that the purpose of

this filing is to comply with the

September 29, 1995, which approved

the Stipulation and Agreement

(Settlement) filed by Southern on March

15, 1995 in Docket Nos. RP89–224–012,

et al. In accordance with Article VII of

the Settlement, Southern has made this

filing to recover a GSR volumetric

surcharge based on an estimate of its

unrecovered GSR costs as of December

31, 1997 and its projected 1998 costs.

Paragraph 17 of Article VII of the

Settlement provides for Southern to file

by December 1 of each year to collect

unrecovered gas supply realignment

(GSR) costs through its GSR volumetric

surcharge, to be effective for the parties

supporting the Settlement beginning

January 1 of the following year. The

proposed GSR volumetric surcharge of

$.002/Dth reflects a reduction from the

$.0084/Dth surcharge currently in effect.

Southern states that copies of the

filing were served upon Southern’s

customers, intervening parties and

interested state commissions.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this filing should file a motion

imbalances; and (ii) the purchase and

sale of gas as necessary to maintain an

appropriate level of storage gas

inventory for system management

purposes. In the instant filing, Southern

submits the rate surcharge to the

transportation component of its rates

under Rate Schedules FT, FT–NN, and
