    Pursuant to the prior agreements of the parties following 
Columbia's first filing to recover Accrued-But-Not-Paid Gas Costs, ,

    Columbia states that the instant filing is being submitted pursuant 
to Article VII, Section C, Accrued-But-Not-Paid Gas Costs, of the 
``Customer Settlement'' in Docket No. GP94-02, et al., approved by the 
Commission on June 15, 1995 (71 FERC para. 61,337 (1995)). The Customer 
Settlement became effective on November 28, 1995, when the Bankruptcy 
Court's November 1, 1995 order approving Columbia's Plan of 
Reorganization became final. Under the terms of Article VII, Section C, 
Columbia is entitled to recover amounts for Accrued-But-Not-Paid Gas 
Costs. As directed by Article VII, Section C, the tariff sheets 
contained herein are being filed in accordance with Section 39 of the 
General Terms and Conditions of the Tariff, to direct bill the Accrued-
But-Not-Paid Gas Costs that have been paid subsequent to November 28, 
1995.
    Columbia states that the instant filing reflects Accrued-But-Not-
Paid Gas Costs in the amount of $3,081,647.31 plus applicable FERC 
interest of $43,996.23. This is Columbia's fifth filing pursuant to 
Article VII, Section C, and Columbia's reserves the right to make the 
appropriate additional filings pursuant to that provision. The 
allocation factors on Appendix F of the Customer Settlement were used 
as prescribed by Article VII, Section C.
    Columbia states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all 
firm customers, interruptible customers, and affected state 
commissions. Columbia also agrees to make available for this filing the 
data that it was required to provide in its June 13, 1996 compliance 
filing in Docket No. RP96-140-002 pursuant to a protective agreement.
    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, 888 First Street, NE, 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 as provided 
in 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. 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.
