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

October 5, 1998.
    Take notice that on October 1, 1998, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC 
Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, certain revised tariff sheets 
which tariff sheets are enumerated in Appendix A attached to the 
filing. The tariff sheets are proposed to be effective November 1, 
1998.
    Transco states that the instant filing is submitted pursuant to 
Section 44 of the General Terms and Conditions of Transco's Volume No. 
1 Tariff which provides that Transco will reflect in its rates the 
costs incurred for the transportation and compression of gas by others 
(hereinafter TBO). Section 44 provides that Transco will file to 
reflect net changes in its TBO rates at least 30 days prior to the 
November 1 effective date of each annual TBO filing.
    On August 21, 1998 Transco's last remaining TBO contract expired. 
Thus, the only TBO amount remaining to be recovered is the current 
deferral balance as of July 31, 1998 plus the TBO expense for August, 
1998 associated with the expired contract. As set forth in Appendix B, 
TBO projects that the unrecovered balance in the deferred account as of 
October 31, 1998 will approximate $20,000. Based on the foregoing, 
Transco proposed to eliminate the TBO surcharge from its rates 
effective November 1, 1998. Further, Transco will not seek to include 
in rates any remaining balance in its TBO deferred account as of 
October 31, 1998.
    Transco states that copies of the filing are being mailed to 
affected customers and interested State Commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with 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. 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 in the Public 
Reference Room.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
