[Docket No. GT99-4-000]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Tariff Filing
November 3, 1998.
Take notice that on October 29, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company (Tennessee), filed the following: (1) a Blanket Authorization
Agreement among Tennessee, Boston Gas Company (``Boston Gas'') and
Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corporation (``Enron''); (2) a Blanket
Authorization Agreement among Tennessee, Boston Gas and El Paso Energy
Marketing Company (``El Paso Marketing''); (3) a Blanket Authorization
Agreement among Tennessee, Essex County Gas Company (``Essex'') and
Enron; (4) a Blanket Authorization Agreement among Tennessee, Essex and
El Paso Marketing; (5) First Revised Sheet No. 413 of Tennessee's FERC
Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1 (``Volume No. 1 Tariff''); and
(6) Alternate First Revised Sheet No. 413 of Tennessee's Volume No. 1
Tariff.
Tennessee states that the four Blanket Authorization Agreements are
being submitted for Commission approval because the Blanket
Authorization Agreements contain language which differs from Pro Forma
Blanket Authorization Agreement contained in Tennessee's Volume No. 1
Tariff. Tennessee further states that, pursuant to Section 154.112(b)
of the Commission's regulations, it is submitting First Revised Sheet
No. 413 with an effective date of December 1, 1998. However, Boston Gas
and Essex strongly desire that they be able to effectuate the terms of
the four Blanket Authorization Agreements by November 1, 1998.
Therefore, at their behest, Tennessee is also submitting with this
filing Alternate First Revised Sheet No. 413 with an effective date of
November 1, 1998 in the event that the Commission approves these
customers' deemed request for a waiver of the 30-day notice requirement
of the Commission's regulations.
Tennessee submits that the four Blanket Authorization Agreements
contain provisions which differ from the Pro Forma Blanket
Authorization Agreement in several respects. First, the Blanket
Authorization Agreements allow Boston Gas and Essex (the ``Contract
Holders''), to delegate agency authority to both Enron and El Paso
Marketing (the ``Blanket Agents''), rather than to a single agent.
Second, the Blanket Authorization Agreements allow the Contract Holders
to delegate only some of the Contract Holders' service agreements on
the Tennessee's system and for specified contract quantities for each
agreement. Third, the term provisions of the Blanket Authorization
Agreements have been modified to reflect an automatic termination of
the Blanket Authorization Agreements on March 31, 1999. Finally, the
term provision of the Blanket Authorization Agreements has also been
modified to allow any Party to terminate the Blanket Authorization
[[Page 60321]]
Agreements upon twenty-four hours written notice to the other parties,
such termination to be effective upon receipt of the termination
notice.
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 on or
before November 10, 1998. 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.
