effective date of April 1, 1997:

Original Sheet No. 115A

FGT states that on January 16, 1997,

FGT filed revised Tariff sheets in

Docket, No. RP97–230–000 (January 16

Filing) to eliminate the shipper option

to, submit written nominations for

scheduling pipeline capacity except in

certain emergency circumstances. FGT

proposed an effective date of April 1,

1997 to coincide with FGT’s

implementation of the Gas Industry

Standards Board’s (GISB) standards on

that date. FGT explained that it would

not be able to meet the GISB timeline

requirement of communicating

scheduled volumes by 4:30 p.m. if

written nominations were not received

by FGT until 11:45 a.m.

Subsequent to the January 16 Filing,

to address certain issues raised by

parties to this proceeding, FGT

proposed to expand the definition of the

emergency circumstances which would

permit the submission of written

nominations, and to institute a three

month transition period during which

shippers could continue to submit

written nominations as long as the

written nominations were received by

FGT no later than 10:30 a.m.

FGT states that in the March 13 Order,

the Commission accepted FGT’s

proposed changes subject to the

outcome of the proceedings in Docket

No. RP97–21 (FGT’s GISB Compliance

Docket) and subject to the FGT

submitting revised tariff sheets

reflecting the three month transition

period and the expanded provisions

regarding the emergency circumstances

under which written nominations

would still be permitted. The instant

filing is in compliance with the March

13 Order.

Any person desiring to protest said

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with Section

385.211 of the Commission’s Rules and

Regulations. All such protests should be

filed on or before April 18, 1997.

Protests will be considered by the

appropriate action to be taken, but will

not serve to make protestants parties to

the proceeding. Copies of this filing are

on file with the Commission and are

available for public inspection in the

Public Reference Room.
