Transwestern Pipeline Company; Notice of Compliance Filing

August 12, 2002.
    Take notice that on August 6, 2002, Transwestern Pipeline Company 
(Transwestern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets to become 
effective September 6, 2002:

1st Revised Nineteenth Revised Sheet No. 48
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 83
Second Revised Sheet No. 85-91A
1st Revised Eighth Revised Sheet No. 72
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 84

    Transwestern states that on March 12, 1997, in Docket No. RP97-288-
000, Transwestern filed tariff sheets to give it the ability to 
negotiate rates in accordance with the Commission's Policy Statement on 
Alternatives to Traditional Cost-of-Service Ratemaking for Natural Gas 
Pipelines. Transwestern also states that the Commission accepted the 
tariff sheets in an order issued April 11, 1997. On October 24, 2001, 
the Presiding Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) in Docket RP97-288-009, 
et.al., issued an initial decision is this proceeding. The initial 
decision found

that Transwestern had complied with its current tariff in advertising 
and awarding of the capacity; however, the ALJ ordered Transwestern to 
``* * * modify its tariff so that all posting, bidding, and award 
procedures are set forth in a separate provision with an appropriate 
caption.'' On July 17, 2002, the Commission issued an Order on Initial 
Decision and Compliance Filing which, Transwestern states, affirmed the 
ALJ's initial decision on modifying Transwestern's tariff, and in 
addition, required Transwestern to add language describing the 
availability and applicability of the recourse rate. Transwestern 
further states that the instant filing is made in compliance with the 
Commission's Order.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such 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. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's website at <A HREF="http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</A> using the ``FERRIS'' link.
