[Docket No. TM95-2-17-000]
Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Proposed Changes in FERC
Gas Tariff
October 31, 1994.
Take notice that on October 27, 1994 Texas Eastern Transmission
Corporation (Texas Eastern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas
Tariff, Sixth Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on
Appendix A to the filing.
The proposed effective date of these revised tariff sheets is
December 1, 1994.
Texas Eastern states that the tariff sheets are being filed (i)
pursuant to Section 15.6, Applicable Shrinkage Adjustment (ASA),
contained in the General Terms and Conditions of Texas Eastern's FERC
Gas Tariff, Sixth Revised Volume No. 1, and (ii) pursuant to Texas
Eastern's Docket No. RP85-177-119, et al. Stipulation and Agreement
(Settlement) filed January 31, 1994 and approved by Commission orders
issued May 12, 1994 and July 13, 1994.
Texas Eastern states that the filing constitutes Texas Eastern's
second regular annual ASA filing under Section 15.6 for the purpose of
reflecting changes in its requirement to retain gas in-kind in
compensation for the quantities of gas used to provide service for its
customers and Texas Eastern's first annual filing pursuant to the
Settlement to (i) calculate revised reductions to its shrinkage factors
to reflect projected purchases under Appendix C contracts under the
Settlement, (ii) calculate revised Spot Fuel Components as provided in
Section 5.08 of the Settlement, and (iii) report the annual
reconciliation of the interruptible revenues under Rate Schedules IT-1,
PTI and ISS-1 as well as for Rate Schedule LLIT and for Rate Schedule
VKIT. In addition, this filing provides information with respect to
certain elements of the Settlement which Texas Eastern believes to be
of interest to its customers and the Commission.
Texas Eastern states that the changes proposed to become effective
beginning December 1, 1994 consist of (1) revised ASA Percentages
designed to retain in-kind the projected quantities of gas required for
the operation of Texas Eastern's system in providing service to its
customers for each seasonal calendar period, Winter (December 1, 1993-
March 31, 1994), Spring Shoulder (April 1, 1994-May 31, 1994), Summer
(June 1, 1994-September 30, 1994) and Fall Shoulder (October 1, 1994-
November 30, 1994) and (2) the ASA Surcharge designed to recover the
net monetary value recorded in the Applicable Shrinkage Deferred
Account as of August 31, 1994 and (3) Spot Fuel Components designed to
recover the Spot Costs, as defined in the Settlement, projected to be
incurred over the twelve month period beginning December 1, 1994 and
the balance recorded in the Spot Fuel Deferred Account as of August 31,
1994.
Texas Eastern states that the filing reflects an overall average
decrease of approximately 12.3 percent in its in-kind retention factors
and an average increase in usage rates of approximately 2 cents due to
the revised ASA Surcharges and the revised Spot Fuel Components.
Texas Eastern states that the filing also includes, for information
purposes only detailed supporting information for the balances as of
August 31, 1994 in the Non-Spot Fuel Deferred Account and the Account
No. 858 Costs Deferred Account established pursuant to the Settlement.
Texas Eastern states that copies of its filing have been served on
all Firm Customers of Texas Eastern and Interested State Commission, as
well as all current interruptible shippers and all parties to the
Settlement in Docket No. RP85-177-119, et al. Texas Eastern states that
in accordance with the Settlement, with respect to those elements of
the tariff sheets pursuant to the Settlement, Texas Eastern's filing is
subject to refund or adjustment only to the extent not in compliance
with the Settlement.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal 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 7, 1994. 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. 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.

Secretary.
