    In accordance with the Commission's order issued January 29, 1997

million in annual costs for electric power and to flow-back a 
$1,074,885 over-recovery in electric power costs applicable to the EPCA 
surcharge.
    Columbia states that these revised tariff sheets are filed pursuant 
to Section 45, Electric Power Costs Adjustment (EPCA), of the General 
Terms and Conditions (GTC) of Columbia's FERC Gas Tariff, Second 
Revised Volume No. 1. Columbia states that Section 45.2 provides that 
Columbia may file, to be effective each April 1, to adjust its electric 
power costs, thereby allowing for the recovery of current EPCA costs 
and the EPCA surcharge.

reflect adjustments to Columbia's current costs for electric power for 
the twelve month period beginning April 1, 1997.

file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the
