Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Offer of Settlement

April 7, 2005.
    Take notice that on April 1, 2005, Dominion Transmission, Inc. 
(DTI) filed a Stipulation and Agreement (Settlement), including pro 
forma tariff sheets, pursuant to 18 CFR 385.602 (2004) to reduce its 
rates for transportation service and the fuel retention level for its 
storage services and establish a five-year moratorium on further 
transportation and storage rate changes.
    DTI states that the Settlement is designed as a limited settlement 
to existing Commission-approved settlements of DTI proceedings, with 
the Settlement Amendment leaving in place the settled resolution of a 
series of issues on the DTI system. DTI asserts that the Settlement 
preserves the benefit of previously settled issues while providing rate 
relief to the settling parties, ensuring rate certainty for all, and 
avoiding the cost and risks of potential litigation. DTI states that 
the base transportation rate reduction when combined with the storage 
fuel retention reduction will result in annual rate relief reflected in 
the Settlement of approximately $49 million.
    DTI states that it has served copies of this filing on all parties 
in Docket Nos. RP97-406, RP00-15, RP00-344, and RP00-632, as well as on 
any of its customers identified as not included on those service lists.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214 (2004)) by the date 
set forth below. 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 proceeding. Any person wishing to 
become a party must file a notice of intervention or motion to 
intervene, as appropriate. Such notices or motions must be filed on or 
before the dates as indicated below. Anyone filing an intervention or 
protest must serve a copy of that document on the Applicant. Anyone 
filing an intervention or protest on or before the intervention or 
protest date set below need not serve motions to intervene or protests 
on persons other than the Applicant. Pursuant to Rule 602(f)(2) of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.602(f)(2) 
(2004), initial comments on the Settlement are due not later than 20 
days after the filing of the Settlement, and reply comments are due not
