Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Tariff Filing


December 13, 2002.
    Take notice that on December 9, 2002, Dominion Transmission, Inc. 
(DTI) tendered for filing to be part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third 
Revised Volume No. 1, First Revised Sheet No. 308, with an effective 
date of February 1, 2003.
    DTI states that this tariff filing is intended to eliminate 
potential ambiguity in DTI's Rate Schedule GSS by clarifying that the 
holder of storage capacity at the start of each Winter Period is 
responsible for compliance with DTI's minimum turnover requirements. 
DTI explains that the minimum turnover provisions are intended to 
provide an incentive for customers to withdraw volumes from storage 
during the Winter Period consistent with DTI's operational 
requirements. DTI explains that the minimum turnover requirements are 
seasonal, not monthly and that this flexibility renders the tariff 
provisions arguably ambiguous with respect to their application in the 
event of capacity release during the Winter Period.
    DTI states that the only reasonable interpretation of the minimum 
turnover provisions places the responsibility for the required 
withdrawals on the only shipper with the opportunity to ensure that 
withdrawals are made during the Winter Period--that is, the shipper 
that holds the capacity on November 1 of each year.
    DTI states that copies of its letter of transmittal and enclosures 
have been served upon DTI's customers and interested state commissions.
    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, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. 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 proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must 
file a motion to intervene. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link.
