Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation

(Columbia) tendered for filing as part of

Columbia states that the instant filing

is being made to comply with the order

on Remand in Docket No. CP95–218–

002 (Remand Order) issued by the

Commission on December 14, 2000. The

‘‘Remand Order’’ revised the

Commission’s previous policy requiring

pipelines to seek case-by-case approval

before acquiring offsystem capacity and

permitting new acquisitions of

offsystem capacity by pipelines to be

made without pre-approval. In its order

denying clarification and rehearing

issued April 12, 2001, in Docket No.

CP95–218–004, the Commission

clarified that pipelines intending to

transport gas for others on acquired

offsystem capacity must receive a

waiver of the ‘‘shipper must have title’’

policy prior to commencing the service.

The Commission stated that a pipeline

need not seek such waiver on case-bycase basis; rather it may make a single

filing to amend its tariff to include a

general statement that it will only

transport for others using offsystem

capacity pursuant to its existing tariff

and rates and to request a generic

waiver of the ‘‘shipper must have title’’

policy. The purpose of the instant filing

is to include a general statement in

Columbia’s tariff and to request such

waiver.

Columbia states that copies of its

filing have been mailed to all firm

customers, interruptible customers, and

affected state commissions.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with sections

385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission’s

Rules and Regulations. All such motions

or protests must be filed in accordance

with 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 proceedings.

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. This filing may be viewed on the
