Florida Gas Transmission Co.; Notice of Compliance Filing

October 25, 1994.
    Take notice that on October 21, 1994, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, with a 
proposed effective date of December 1, 1994:

Sixth Revised Sheet No. 8B
First Revised Sheet No. 8D
Second Revised Sheet No. 18
Third Revised Sheet No. 46A
Second Revised Sheet No. 47
First Revised Sheet No. 206
Fifth Revised Sheet No. 207

    FGT states that it is proposing tariff provisions modifying fuel 
retainage for its Western Division transportation services. 
Specifically, FGT is proposing to modify its FTS-1 and ITS-1 Rate 
Schedules to provide that FGT will charge Western Division forwardhaul 
shippers a fuel percentage based on the number of compressors utilized 
in providing the service. FGT states that it believes this modification 
is necessary to make FGT's Western Division service competitive with 
other transporters.
    FGT's FTS-1 and ITS-1 Rate Schedules provide that FGT may charge 
individual shippers for Western Division transportation service less 
than the maximum rates set forth on the currently effective Sheet No. 
8B applicable to such service. FGT states that it has routinely 
discounted its maximum facility and service charges for Western 
Division transportation to compete with the large number of interestate 
and intrastate pipelines operating in the area served by FGT. Many 
potential Western Division transportation opportunities involve ``short 
hauls'' on FGT's supply area laterals and mainline that require the use 
of little, if any, compression. However, operation of the provisions of 
the Fuel Reimbursement Charge of Section 27 of FGT's General Terms and 
Conditions would result in FGT absorbing any discount of the Fuel 
Reimbursement Charge. These provisions would result in FGT losing money 
on almost any transaction where FGT discounted fuel.
    Therefore, FGT is proposing to modify its Fuel Reimbursement Charge 
to provide that Western Division transportation service will be charged 
a fuel retainage percentage on a per compressor basis.
    Specifically, FGT is proposing a Western Division fuel percentage 
of 0.50% per compressor up to a maximum percentage not to exceed the 
effective maximum Fuel Reimbursement Charge as defined in Section 27 of 
FGT's General Terms and Conditions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests should 
be filed on or before November 1, 1994. Protests will be considered by 
the Commission in determining the appropriate actions to be taken, but 
will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceedings. Any 
person wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. 
Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available 
for public inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
