Vector Pipeline, L.P.; Notice of

Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

October 12, 2000.

Take notice that on September 29,

2000, Vector Pipeline L.P. (Vector),

tendered for filing as its FERC Gas

Tariff, Volume No. 1, to become

effective November 1, 2000. Vector

states that the purpose of this filing is

to comply with the Commission’s orders

issued October 19, 1998 and May 27,

1999 in Docket Nos. CP98–133–000, et

seq. and to include in its effective tariff

certain new and/or modified provisions

as a result of a reexamination of the

1997 pro forma tariff and discussions

with its shippers. Vector requests any

and all waivers of the Commission’s

regulations that may be required to

place the proposed tariff into effect.

Vector states that its proposed tariff is

in compliance with prior Commission

orders, revised Commission policies,

and the currently effective Commission

regulations. With respect to compliance

with the requirements of Order Nos.

637, et seq., Vector states that it has

included in the filed tariff sheets those

provisions which are permitted and/or

dictated by Order Nos. 637, et seq. for

immediate effect.

Vector states that the rates and

charges for service under Rate Schedule

FT–1 (firm transportation service) and

Rate Schedule IT–1 (interruptible

transportation service) are the same as

those included in the certificate

amendment filing made by Vector in

Docket Nos. CP98–133–004 and CP98–

134–003 on June 27, 2000. The

explanation for the zone rates provided

in the certificate amendment filing is

incorporated herein by reference. Rates

for firm and interruptible service are set

by zone, with Zone 1 representing

service from Milepost 0 to Milepost 43,

and Zone 2 representing service from

Milepost 0 to Milepost 333. Also, Vector

has allocated $1 million of fixed costs

to interruptible and system management

services, and thus Vector plans to retain

all revenues from these services.

Vector states that it proposes to

recover fuel consumed in operations

and lost and unaccounted for gas

through contributions in-kind from the

shippers, adjusted monthly for actuals,

and charged on an 111-mile increment

basis.

Vector states, that as mandated by

Order No. 637, the price cap for shortterm capacity release has been removed.

In addition, Vector will issue a contract

to a Replacement Shipper within one

hour of awarding the capacity, however

contract execution is not necessary for

a Replacement Shipper to nominate

volumes for transportation under its

new capacity allocation.

Vector requests waiver of the

requirements of Sections 284.286 and

284.287 to allow the incidental

purchases and sales of gas without the

need to file tariff sheets providing for

such incidental purchases and sales.

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,

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 on or before

October 19, 2000. 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

inspection in the Public Reference

Room.
