RM98-10-000 and RM98-12-000 (Order No. 637). Among other things, the Commission in Order No. 637 waived the rate ceiling for short-term capacity release transactions and limited the availability of the right of first refusal to contracts at the maximum tariff rate having a term of twelve consecutive months or longer.

Accordingly, Koch has modified its tariff to comply with these requirements of Order Nos. 637 and 637A. Koch states that copies of this filing have been served upon Koch's customers, state commissions and other interested parties.
