    Take notice that on November 30, 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

certificate and Part 284 of the Commission's regulations. On October 
28, 1998, the Commission issued an ``Order Accepting Certain Tariff 
Sheets Subject to Conditions and Rejecting Other Tariff Sheet as Moot'' 
(October 28 Order) and required Transco to file revised tariff sheets 
consistent with its discussion in the order.
    In compliance with the October 28 Order, Transco is filing revised 
tariff sheets in the instant filing to (1) revise Section 9 (and remove 
Sections 9.2-9.5 as no longer necessary) of Rate Schedule WSS and 
Section 8 of Rate Schedule WSS-Open Access to include the base gas 
volume that each customer has the right to repurchase and clarify that 
new customers are not required to provide base gas; and (2) remove the 
words ``by seller'' from the last sentence in Section 7.1(a) of Rate 
Schedule WSS-Open Access. With regard to the correct WSS base gas 
volume, please refer to Appendix B attached to the filing which 
provides the amount of injected base gas in the Washington Storage 
Field as recorded in Transco's audited accounting records.
    Transco states that it is serving copies of the instant filing to 
its affected customers and interested State Commissions.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as 
provided in 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. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission 
and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
