Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Proposed 
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

September 27, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 24, 1996 Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing to become part of its 
FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1 and Original Volume No. 2, 
certain revised tariff sheets which are enumerated in Appendix A 
attached to the filing. The proposed effective date of such tariff 
sheets is November 15, 1996.
    Transco states that the purpose of the instant filing is to 
terminate Section 7(c) firm transportation service under Rate Schedules 
X-322 and X-323 and to convert such services to service provided under 
Rate Schedule FT pursuant to Transco's blanket transportation 
certificate and Part 284 of the Commission's regulations effective 
November 15, 1996. In that regard, Transco and its APEC shippers have 
agreed that, as part of the conversion process, converting APEC 
shippers will be entitled to elect annual firm transportation service 
in lieu of seasonal (November 15 through March 31) service. Public 
Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) and South Jersey Gas Company 
(South Jersey) timely notified Transco of their election to convert 
their APEC service to annual firm transportation service.
    Transco states that the rates applicable to the converted service 
are the generally applicable charges under Rate Schedule FT (including 
fuel), plus reservation and commodity rate surcharges as set forth on 
Original Sheet No. 40E to Transco's Third Revised Volume No. 1 Tariff. 
Original Sheet No. 40E sets forth the charges applicable to APEC firm 
transportation service which has been converted from individually 
certificated Section 7(c) firm transportation service to annual firm 
transportation service under Transco's blanket certificate and Part 284 
of the Commission's regulations.
    Transco states that copies of the filing are being mailed to PSE&G, 
South Jersey and interested State Commissions.
    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 18 CFR 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as 
provided in Sec. 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.
