    On April 17, 1995, Columbia filed an Offer of Settlement 
(Settlement) with the Federal Energy Regulatory

[[Page 66530]]

Commission (Commission) in Docket No. GP94-02, et al. The Commission in 
an order dated June 15, 1995 (71 FERC para. 61,337) approved the 
Settlement. Pursuant to Article X of the Settlement, Columbia was 
permitted to collect $10 million as full and complete satisfaction of 
any right it may have to recover Gas Supply Realignment Costs, Order 
No. 500/528 Costs, overriding royalties, and all Producer Contract 
Rejection Costs (collectively referred to as GSR Costs).
    Columbia states that the instant filing address Columbia's 
collection of $1 million in GSR Costs, plus FERC interest, from its 
Rate Schedule ITS customers. Specifically, commencing February 1, 1996, 
Columbia began collecting the GSR Coasts from Rate Schedule ITS 
Customers via a $0.01/Dth surcharge (Article X Surcharge). The Article 
X Surcharge was to remain in effect until Columbia had collected the $1 
million in GSR Costs, plus FERC interest from ITS Rate Schedule 
customers.
    As of October 31, 2000, Columbia will have over-recovered its 
allowed recover of $1 million by approximately $20,000. Accordingly, 
Columbia proposes to remove the Article X Surcharge effective November 
1, 2000. The tariff sheets filed herewith will accomplish that.
    Columbia states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all 
firm customers, interruptible customers and affected state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NW., 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 web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
