Equitrans, Inc.; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

May 2, 1995.
    Take notice that on April 28, 1995, Equitrans, Inc. (Equitrans) 
tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First 
Revised Volume No. 1, the proposed tariff sheets:

    Original Sheet No. 73

    Original Sheet No. 360
    Original Sheet Nos. 361-399

    Equitrans requests that the Commission accept the tariff sheets set 
forth above by June 1, 1995, and suspend the tariff sheets for two 
months. Equitrans states that it will move to put the tariff sheets 
into effect no later than August 1, 1995, after it has completed the 
electronic and administrative modifications necessary to implement its 
Appalachian Pooling Service. [[Page 22575]] 
    Equitrans states that it is proposing these amendments in order to 
provide a new Appalachian pooling service for its customers (APS 
service). This service is an accounting transportation service which 
will permit parties or ``Pool Operators'' to aggregate Appalachian gas 
supplies from receipt points within four designated Pooling Areas as 
defined in Section 3.1 of the Rate Schedule. This service will make it 
easier for customers to nominate Appalachian production on the 
Equitrans' system, while reducing the administrative responsibility of 
the pipeline in scheduling and balancing the numerous Appalachian 
receipt points which it operates.
    This new APS service will allow a party to aggregate Appalachian 
supply from any and all receipt points within specific pooling areas 
for delivery to confirmed transportation services downstream of the 
pooling points. The Pool Operator will assume the responsibility of 
balancing, for each pool, the scheduled receipts of gas into the pool 
with the scheduled quantities delivered out of the pool. APS service is 
available to any party who executes a supply aggregation service 
agreement with Equitrans under Rate Schedule APS and who meets 
Equitrans's qualifications for receipt of service.
    Any person desiring to be heard or protest this application should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426, in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests should 
be filed on or before May 9, 1995. 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
