Commission (Commission) approved an uncontested settlement that
resolves environmental cost recovery issues in the above-referenced
proceeding. Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation, 88 FERC para. 61,217

unit components of base rates, all as more fully set forth in Article

Settlement).
Columbia is required to file annually a limited NGA Section 4
filing to adjust its environmental unit components effective February 1
to recover its environmental costs covered by the Phase II Settlement,
within agreed-upon ceilings and recovery percentages. For the annual
period February 1, 2001 through January 31, 2002, the Phase II
Settlement permits Columbia to collect ``no more than $14 million
annually in Main Program Costs'', and ``no more than $3 million
annually in Storage Well Program Costs.'' Article VI(B) of the Phase II
Settlement. The instant filing satisfies that requirement. It provides
for the February 1, 2001 effectiveness of revised unit components
