Docket No. RP99-202-000Northwest Alaskan Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

January 15, 1999.

Take notice that on January 12, 1999, Northwest Alaskan Pipeline Company (Northwest Alaskan) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 2, Forth-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 5, with an effective date of January 1, 1999.

Northwest Alaskan states that it is submitting Forty-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 5 to correct an error in the Forty-Third Revised Sheet No. 5 which was filedNovember 17, 1998, in Docket No. RP99-151-000 and approved on December 18, 1998 to be effective January 1, 1999. Said Forty-Third Revised Sheet No. 5 was filedpursuant to the provisions of the amended purchase agreements between Northwest Alaskan and Pan- Alberta Gas (U.S.), Inc. (APAG-US) and Pacific Interstate Transmission Company (APIT), and pursuant to the Rate Schedules X-1, X-2, X-3 and X- 4, which provide for Northwest Alaskan to file 45 days prior to the commencement of the next demand charge period (January 1, 1999 through January 30, 1999) the demand charges and demand charge adjustments which Northwest Alaskan will charge during the period.

Northwest Alaskan states that Forty-Third Revised Sheet No. 5 was subsequently replaced by the Forty-Fourth Revised Sheet No. 5 which was filedJanuary 6, 1999, in Docket No. CP98-603-00 in accordance with the direction of the Commission in its Order on Settlement and Authorizing Abandonments, Acquisition of Facilities, Waiving Tariff Provisions, and Granting Motion for Consolidation issued December 17, 1998 (the Order) to reflect the changes caused by the termination of the purchase agreement between Northwest Alaskan and PIT and the related tariff, Rate Schedule X-4.

Subsequent to the November 17, 1998 filing of the Forty-Third Revised Sheet No. 5, Pan-Alberta notified Northwest Alaskan that the schedules provided by Pan-Alberta and included in the November 17, 1998 filing contained an error. The Nova transportation charges listed in the Demand Charge Adjustment as filedincluded only the Nova charges billed directly to Pan-Alberta by Nova and did not include the Nova charges that were paid to Nova by Pan-Alberta via their producers during the period from November 1996 to August 1998.

Northwest further states that Forty-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 5 reflects the increase in total demand charges for Canadian gas purchased by Northwest Alaskan from Pan-Alberta and resold to PAG-US unde rate schedule X-1 which results from the inclusion of the Nova transportation charges previously omitted by Pan-Alberta in its calculations. Rate Schedules X-2 and X-3 are not affected by the error, and therefore those demand charges remain unchanged.

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. 20426, in accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.11 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filedin 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. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room. David P. Boergers, Secretary.
