$0.0800/Dth and lowered its firm

transportation (FT) demand rate to

$2.26/Dth and FT commodity rate to

$0.0040/Dth (Settlement Rates).

On April 22, 1997, the Commission

issued its Order on Settlement

Establishing Just and Reasonable Rates

(April 22 Order), which required Sea

Robin to reduce both its existing rates

and Settlement Rates under Section 5(a)

of the Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C.

717d(a)(1996) to $0.074/dth for IT

service and $2.12/dth demand and

$0.003/dth commodity for FT service.

On rehearing of the April 22 Order,

however, the Commission issued an

order dated November 3, 1997, which

accepted the settlement rates as just and

reasonable. When Sea Robin filed its

flex-firm rate schedule on July 1, 1997,

with the rates contained in the April 22

Order, Sea Robin specifically stated that

‘‘any rates proposed to be charged

hereunder will be subject to the

outcome of Sea Robin’s rehearing

request.’’ Accordingly, consistent with

the Commission’s November 3 Order,

Sea Robin has filed the revised tariff

sheet to implement the Settlement Rates

for service under Rate Schedule FTS–2

as approved by the November 3 Order.

Any person desiring to protest this

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with the Rule 211

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice

and Procedures (18 CFR Section

385.211). All such protests must be filed

in accordance with 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

Room.
