[Docket No. RP96-359-002]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Compliance
Filing
October 16, 1996.
Take notice that on October 10, 1996 Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, certain revised tariff sheets,
which tariff sheets are enumerated in Appendix A to the filing. Such
tariff sheets are proposed to be effective October 1, 1996 and November
1, 1996.
Transco states that the purpose of the filing is to comply with the
Commission's order of September 25th, 1996 in Docket No. RP96-359-000,
76 FERC para. 61,318 (1996) (September 25th Order). In the September
25th Order, the Commission approved, subject to certain conditions, the
tariff sheets containing the conforming changes to Transco's tariff to
establish the flexibility to negotiate rates pursuant to the
Commission's Statement of Policy on Alternatives to Traditional Cost of
Service Ratemaking for Natural Gas Pipelines. The September 25th Order
directed Transco to (1) file tariff language clarifying the definition
of a negotiated rate, (2) explain what effect, if any, the negotiated
rate proposal would have on the storage and transportation services
used by Transco's marketing affiliate, as agent for Transco's Rate
Schedule FS customers, to perform FS sales service, and (3) revise its
rate schedule and form of service agreement for IT service to conform
to revisions made to its rate schedules and forms of service agreement
for firm services. Transco is thereby making the necessary changes to
its tariff in order to comply with the September 25th Order.
Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.211 of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as
provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 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. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission
and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
