Humble Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Petition for Rate Approval

March 8, 2000.

Take notice that on February 29, 2000, Humble Gas Pipeline Company (HGPC) fileda petition for rate approval pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2) or the Commission's regulations. HGPC requests that the Commission approve a maximum rate of $0.04389 per MMBtu for gas transported on the Inlet System and a maximum rate of $0.01016 per MMBtu for gas transported on the Header System; both rates are subject to an additional one-percent (1%) retainage for fuel and unaccounted- for gas.

HGPC affirms that it is an intrastate pipeline within the meaning of section 2(16) of the NGPA, with an intrastate pipeline which is located entirely within the state of Texas. HGPC's pipeline is comprised of an Inlet System and a Header System. Consistent with the Commission's approval of its Section 311 rates in Docket No. PR 97-5, HGPC proposes to make its new section 311 rates effective as of March 1, 2000.

Pursuant to section 284.123(b)(2)(ii), if the Commission does not act within 150 days of the filing date, the rates will be deemed to be fair and equitable and not in excess of an amount which interstate pipelines would be permitted to charge for similar transportation services. The Commission may, prior to the expiration of the 150-day period, extend the time for action or institute a proceeding to afford parties an opportunity for written comments and for the oral presentation of views, data, and arguments.

Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must file a motion to intervene in accordance with sections 385.211 and 385.214 or the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures. All motions must be filedwith the Secretary of the Commission on or before March 23, 2000. The petition for rate approval is on file with the Commission and is available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room. This filing may be viewed on the web at http:// www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).

David P. Boergers, Secretary.
