Louisiana Intrastate Gas Company

L.L.C.; Notice of Petition for Rate

Approval

March 18, 1997.

Take notice that on March 3, 1997,

Louisiana Intrastate Gas Company L.L.C.

(LIG) filed a Petition to justify its

existing interruptible maximum rate of

20.25 cents per MMBtu for Section

311(a)(2) of the Natural Gas Policy Act

of 1978 interruptible transportation

service. LIG states that, as is currently

in effect, shippers will be charged for (1)

filing fees required to implement,

commence or continue service; and (2)

their pro rata share of gas consumed by

LIG as compressor fuel, company use

and unaccounted for gas, as provided in

the relevant agreements, subject to a 2%

maximum for such compressor fuel,

company use and unaccounted for gas.

LIG also filed a Petition for rate

approval to initiate Section 311(a)(2)

firm transportation and firm authorized

overrun services. LIG also states that it

petitions the Commission for approval

of a maximum reservation charge for

such service on LIG’s mainline of $4.22

per MMBtu per month, and a maximum

usage charge or 9.75 cents per MMBtu.

LIG also petitions for Commission

approval of an authorized overrun rate

of 9.75 cents per MMBtu for firm

Section 311(a)(2) shippers requesting

firm authorized overrun service on LIG’s

mainline system. Firm and firm overrun

shippers will be charged filing fee costs

and a pro rata share of compressor fuel,

company use and unaccounted for gas,

as provided in the relevant agreements,

subject to a 2% maximum.

Pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2)(ii),

if the Commission does not act within

150 days of the filing date, the rate will

be deemed to be fair and equitable and

not in excess of an amount which

interstate pipelines would be permitted

to charge for similar transportation

service. The Commission may, prior to

the expiration of the 150-day period,

extend the time for action or institute a

proceeding to afford parties an

opportunity for written comments and

for the oral presentation of views, data,

and arguments.

Any person desiring to participate in

this rate proceeding must file a motion

to intervene in accordance with sections

385.211 and 385.214 of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedures. All motions must be filed

with the Secretary of the Commission

on or before April 2. 1997. The Petition

for rate approval is on file with the

Commission and is available for public

inspection.
