Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Filing

October 22, 1999.
    Take notice that Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation 
(Transco) tendered for filing in the referenced docket on October 15, 
1999, certain revised tariff sheets to its FERC Gas Tariff, Third 
Revised Volume No. 1, which tariff sheets are enumerated in Appendix A 
to the filing. The effective date for the tariff sheets is November 1, 
1999.
    Transco states that the purpose of the filing is to comply with the 
Commission's order dated September 30, 1999 in this proceeding. 88 FERC 
61,311 (1999) (``September 30 Order''). In the September 30 Order, the 
Commission accepted, subject to condition, modification and 
clarification, Transco's August 18, 1999 filing to revise its authority 
to enter into negotiated rate transactions. The September 30 Order 
directed Transco to revise the last sentence of proposed Section 53.3 
of the General Terms and Conditions to be consistent with bid 
evaluation proposals approved by the Commission in other proceedings 
and to ensure that the net present value evaluations of different rate 
forms are comparable by providing that only the fixed cost component of 
the usage revenue in a negotiated rate bid is included when comparing 
bids. In addition, the September 30 Order directed Transco to refile 
Section 53 of the General Terms and Conditions to affirmatively state 
that negotiated rates do not apply as the price cap for capacity 
release transactions. Transco states that the filing submits revised 
tariff sheets reflecting the changes required by the September 30 
Order.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 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 proceedings. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission 
and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
