Take notice that on March 28, 2002, Crossroads Pipeline Company (Crossroads) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff sheets, bearing a proposed effective date of May 1, 2002:

First Revised Sheet No. 82

First Revised Sheet No. 90

On May 2, 2001, Crossroads' affiliate, Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation, (Columbia Gas) made a filing with the Commission initiating Docket No. CP01-260. In that filing, Columbia Gas requested a certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct and operate facilities needed to serve a new customer. On February 27, 2002, the Commission issued an order (Order) (Columbia Gas Transmission Corp., 98 FERC ¶ 61,206 (2002)) approving Columbia Gas' proposals. In the May 2, 2001 filing, Columbia Gas requested a waiver of the 20-year term limit for service agreements currently in its tariff. In the Order, the Commission questioned whether this current 20-year restriction in Columbia Gas' tariff was necessary and directed Columbia Gas to revise its tariff to eliminate this term restriction. The instant filing is being made by Crossroads to incorporate similar changes to its tariff.

Crossroads states that copies have been mailed to all firm customers, interruptible customers, and affected state commissions.
