Twenty Fourth Revised Sheet No. 9 National asserts that the purpose of this filing is to comply with the Commission's order issued February 16, 1996, in Docket Nos.

RP94-367-000, et al. Under Article I, Section 4, of the settlement approved in that order, National must redetermine quarterly the Amortization Surcharge to reflect revisions in the Plant to be Amortized, interest and associated taxes, and a change in the determinants. The recalculation produced an Amortization Surcharge of 7.81 cents per dth. Further, National states that under Article II, Section 1, of the settlement, it is required to recalculate the maximum Interruptible Gathering (“IG”) rate semi-annually and to charge that rate to be effective July 1 and on January 1.

The recalculation produced an IG rate of 13 cents per dth, which is the same as National's current IG rate. National also states that Article II, Section 2 is not applicable as the monthly recalculation did not result in a rate more than 2 cents above or below the semi-annual calculation. As there is no change in National's IG rate, Appendix E is filed for informational purposes only.
