Viking Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

[Docket No. RP97-195-000]
December 20, 1996.
    Take notice that on December 18, 1996, Viking Gas Transmission 
Company (Viking) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
First Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets proposed to be 
effective January 15, 1997:

Substitute Fourth Revised Sheet No. 1
Substitute Second Revised Sheet No. 117
Substitute Second Revised Sheet No. 118
Substitute Fourth Revised Sheet No. 141
Substitute Original Sheet No. 142
Substitute Original Sheet No. 143
Substitute Original Sheet No. 144
Substitute Original Sheet No. 145
Substitute Original Sheet No. 146

    Viking states that the purpose of this filing is to facilitate 
customer service on Viking's system by updating Viking's Customer 
Nomination Form (Sheet Nos. 117-118) and incorporating the Electronic 
Bulletin Board Access Service Agreement (Sheet Nos. 1, 141-146) in 
Viking's tariff. Viking originally filed the above-referenced tariff 
sheets as part of its Order No. 587 compliance filing on December 2, 
1996. In the Letter Order issued on December 13, 1996 in Docket No. 
RP97-156-000, the Office of Pipeline Regulation rejected the above-
referenced tariff sheets without prejudice as beyond the scope of Order 
No. 587 and found that ``[t]hese tariff changes are more appropriately 
dealt with in a Section 4 filing.'' December 13, 1996 Letter Order, p. 
1.
    Accordingly, Viking is now filing these sheets under Section 4 of 
the Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 717c (1994).
    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 20426, in 
accordance with rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure. 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 
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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
