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

August 13, 1997.
    Take notice that on August 11, 1997, Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans) 
tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff revised tariff 
sheets in compliance with the Commission's Order Accepting and 
Suspending Tariff Sheets and Establishing Hearing issued on July 31, 
1997 (the July 31 Order). Equitrans proposes primary and alternate 
tariff sheets both bearing an effective date of August 1, 1997.
    Equitrans states that the primary sheets reflect the recalculation 
of rates based on the return on equity level mandated in the 
Commission's July 31 Order. Equitrans states that the alternate sheets 
reflect the recalculation of the rates based on the return on equity 
proposed in Equitrans' April 30, 1997 rate filing. Both the primary and 
alternate rate sheets reflect the elimination of Equitrans' proposed 
refunctionalization of facilities in accordance with the July 31 Order. 
Equitrans also filed a protest to the requirement that the primary 
tariff sheets be placed into effect.
    Equitrans requests a waiver of Section 154.206 of the Commission's 
Regulations and any other regulations necessary to permit the rates 
proposed herein to take effect on August 1, 1997.
    Equitrans states that copies of this rate filing were served on 
Equitrans' jurisdictional customers and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to protest the filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20046, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such protests should 
be filed as provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's 
Regulations. Protests will be considered by the Commission in 
determining appropriate action, but will not serve to make protestants 
parties to the proceeding. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
