TransColorado Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Tariff Filing

November 4, 1998.
    Take notice that on October 30, 1998, TransColorado Gas 
Transmission Company (TransColorado) tendered for filing to become part 
of its FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 1, the following tariff 
sheets, to become effective January 1, 1999:

Third Revised Sheet No. 20
Second Revised Sheet No. 102
First Revised Sheet No. 112

    TransColorado states that this filing is a general rate case under 
Section 4(e) of the Natural Gas Act and is filed in compliance with 
ordering paragraph (c) of the September 30, 1996, order in Docket No. 
CP90-1777-008. The September 30, 1996, order required TransColorado 
within 3 years of the date of the Phase I facilities are placed in 
service or at least 60 days prior to placing Phase II facilities in 
service, whichever comes first, to make a Natural Gas Act Section 4(e) 
general rate case filing to reflect current costs and volumes. 
TransColorado expects that the Phase II facilities will be ready for 
service on January 1, 1999. Therefore, this rate case filing was filed 
60 days prior to the effective date of the Phase II facilities being 
placed in service. Further, TransColorado has requested authority to 
withdraw the rate case filing in the event the Phase II facilities are 
not placed in service prior to February 1, 1999.
    TransColorado states that the rates it has proposed are based on 
the overall cost of service for the base period consisting of the 
twelve months ended June 30, 1998, adjusted for known and measurable 
changes through December 31, 1999. The proposed jurisdictional 
transportation rates are based on a 25 year levelized rate design. 
TransColorado has sought waiver of 18 CFR Sec. 154.303 to allow rates 
to go into effect on January 1, 1999.
    TransColorado further states that a copy of this filing has been 
served upon TransColorado's jurisdictional customers, the Colorado 
Public Utilities Commission, and the New Mexico Public Utilities 
Commission.
    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, N.E., Washington, D.C.

are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection
