               Subpart D_Material To Be Filed With Changes
 
Sec. 154.301  Changes in rates.


    (a) Except for changes in rates pursuant to subparts E, F and G, of 
this part, any natural gas company filing for a change in rates or 
charges, except for a minor rate change, must submit, in addition to the 
material required by subparts A, B, and C of this part, the Statements 
and Schedules described in Sec. 154.312.
    (b) A natural gas company filing for a minor rate change must file 
the Statements and Schedules described in Sec. 154.313.
    (c) A natural gas company filing for a change in rates or charges 
must be prepared to go forward at a hearing and sustain, solely on the 
material submitted with its filing, the burden of proving that the 
proposed changes are just and reasonable. The filing and supporting 
workpapers must be of such composition, scope, and format as to comprise 
the company's complete case-in-chief in the event that the change is 
suspended and the matter is set for hearing. If the change in rates or 
charges presented are not in full accord with any prior Commission 
decision directly involving the filing company, the company must include 
in its working papers alternate material reflecting the effect of such 
prior decision.
