Take notice that on May 21, 1996,

Viking Gas Transmission Company

(Viking) tendered for filing as part of its

FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume

Viking states that the purpose of this

filing is to modify Viking’s existing

policies on the construction of laterals,

taps and metering facilities to provide

new or additional service to its

customers. Viking’s current policies

provide that Viking will provide laterals

and customer delivery facilities only if

the customer reimburses Viking for one

hundred percent of the new facilities

costs prior to the commencement of

construction.

Viking states that it is proposing to

amend this policy to create a menu of

payment options that can be used

separately or collectively to provide for

payment of the new facilities’ costs.

Under Viking’s proposal, customers

would have the additional options of

reimbursing Viking by: (1) paying a

separately stated firm reservation charge

that is designed to recover the cost of

the new facilities; or (2) subscribing for

a new or additional amount of mainline

firm capacity sufficient to provide an

incremental revenue stream with a

present discounted value equal to or

greater than the new facilities; costs.

Viking states that copies of the filing

have been mailed to all of its

jurisdictional customers and to affected

state regulatory commissions.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, N.E., Washington, DC

214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure. All such

motions or protests must be filed as

provided in 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 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.
