of America (Natural) tendered for filing with the Federal Energy

    Natural also submits for filing and acceptance copies of the Firm 
Transportation Negotiated Rate Agreement dated August 28, 2001

(2) negotiated rate transactions entered into by Natural and 
MidAmerican Energy Company (MidAmerican) under Natural's Rate Schedules 
FTS and DSS pursuant to Section 49 of the General Terms and Conditions 
of Natural's Tariff, and to update the listing of non-conforming 
agreements in Natural's Tariff by eliminating the old, expiring 
MidAmerican Firm Transportation Negotiated Rate Agreement dated August

not deviate in any material respect from the applicable form of service
