Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America; Notice of Proposed Changes

in FERC Gas Tariff

February 1, 2000.

Take notice that on January 28, 2000,

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America (Natural) tendered for filing

certain tariff sheets to be part of its

FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth Revised Volume

No. 1, to be effective March 1, 2000.

Natural states that the purpose of this

filing is to implement a new Rate

Schedule FRSS, under which Natural

would provide a firm ‘‘reverse’’ storage

service. Although this new service is

available to all customers, it is primarily

designed to meet the needs of the

electric generation market during the

summer peak period for electric

demand. This new service mirrors some

of the fundamental elements of

Natural’s Rate Schedule DSS, but with

injection and withdrawal seasons

reversed. Both are delivered firm storage

services with no-notice delivery rights,

but Rate Schedule DSS primarily

supports traditional winter withdrawals

for customers with peak demand in the

heating season. By contrast, all

withdrawals under new Rate Schedule

FRSS must be made during the summer

and would be followed by winter

injections. Natural also states that

conforming tariff changes have also

been made in the General Terms and

Conditions in its Tariff.

Natural requests waiver of the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission’s

Regulations to the extent necessary to

permit the tariff sheets submitted to

become effective March 1, 2000.

Natural states that copies of the filing

have been mailed to its customers and

interested state regulatory agencies.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest filing should file a motion to

intervene or a protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426,

in accordance with Sections 385.214 or

385.211 of the Commission’s Rules and

Regulations. All such motions or

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 proceedings.

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

inspection in the Public Reference

Room. This filing may be viewed on the
