its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised

Volume No. 1, the following revised

tariff sheets bearing a proposed effective

and May 1 through September 30th for

subsequent years. The DPL Agreement

also provides a pressure commitment.

Columbia believes that the DPL

Agreement is consistent with its tariff

and its pro forma Rate Schedule NTS

service agreement and therefore does

not constitute a non-conforming service

agreement within the meaning of

Section 154.1(d) of the Commission

Regulations. If the Commission

determines that the DPL Agreement is

non-conforming, Columbia requests that

the Commission issue an order

approving the DPL Agreement to be

effective June 15, 2001.

Columbia states that copies of its

filing and have been mailed to all firm

customers, interruptible customers, and

affected state commissions.

protest said filing should file a motion

or protests must be filed in accordance

with Section 154.210 of the
