Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Request For Waiver and 
Filing of Take-or-Pay Reports

December 3, 1996.
    Take notice that on November 26, 1996, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee) tendered for filing a request for waiver of Article 
XXV of the General Terms and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth 
Revised Volume No. 1. Tennessee states that it is requesting this 
waiver to permit Tennessee to omit the filing of the revised tariff 
sheets scheduled to be filed by November 30, 1996, to be effective on 
January 1, 1997, in that Tennessee has incurred no new amount of 
recoverable take or pay costs since its last recovery filing submitted 
on May 31, 1996 in Docket No. RP96-249.
    Tennessee notes that the deferral of recovery of take-or-pay costs 
will not affect the accounting for additional costs and carrying 
charges, in accord with Article XXV, Sections 3.2 and 3.3, and the 
costs will be recovered through future filings pursuant to Article XXV.
    Tennessee further notes that it is filing reports showing the 
derivation of the balances in its Demand and Volumetric Transition Cost 
Accounts, including carrying charge calculations, and the status of its 
recovery filings relative to the cap.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules and 
Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed on or before 
December 10, 1996. 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 an intervention. 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.
