[Docket No. GT98-13-000]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in
FERC Gas Tariff
January 30, 1998.
Take notice that on January 28, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company (Tennessee) tendered for filing and acceptance the following:
(1) Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Trading Partner Agreement (TPA)
between Tennessee and TransCapacity Limited Partnership
(TransCapacity); (2) an EDI TPA between Tennessee and National Capacity
Registry Service Corporation (National Capacity); (3) an agency
authorization agreement for EDI (Agency Agreement) between Gaslantic
Corporation, TransCapacity, and Tennessee, and/or Midwestern Gas
Transmission Company (Midwestern) and/or East Tennessee Natural Gas
Company (East Tennessee) and (4) Fifth Revised Sheet No. 301 and Fifth
Revised Sheet No. 412 of Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised
Volume No. 1 (Volume No. 1 Tariff) to become effective October 17,
1997.
Tennessee states that on October 17, 1997, TransCapacity and
Tennessee entered into a trading partner agreement (TransCapacity TPA)
which governs all EDI transactions between the parties. On January 2,
1998, Tennessee entered into an identical trading partner agreement
with National Capacity (National Capacity TPA). Tennessee states that
these two TPAs contain provisions which differ from the Pro Forma TPA
for several reasons: (1) the TransCapacity TPA and National Capacity
TPA differ from the Pro Forma TPA because they reflect TransCapacity's
and National Capacity's status as third-party providers of EDI
transactions only, rather than as shippers on Tennessee's system as
contemplated by the Pro Forma TPA; (2) the TransCapacity TPA and
National Capacity TPA contain provisions which differ from the Pro
Forma TPA due to formatting changes made by mutual agreement of the
parties; and (3) the TransCapacity TPA and the National Capacity TPA
reflect very minor typographic changes.
Tennessee states that in connection with the TransCapacity TPA,
Gaslantic Corporation, TransCapacity and Tennessee and/or Midwestern
and/or East Tennessee entered into an Agency Agreement on November 7,
1997 (Gaslantic Agency Agreement).
[[Page 5939]]
Tennessee states that pursuant to the Gaslantic Agency Agreement,
Gaslantic assigned certain electronic communication, linkage services
and related administrative responsibilities to TransCapacity for the
term of one month beginning November 15, 1997 and continuing on a
month-to-month basis thereafter until terminated. Tennessee states that
the Gaslantic Agency Agreement differs from the Pro Forma Agency
Agreement in only one area: the Gaslantic Agency Agreement provides
that TransCapacity will have responsibility for the data sets
identified in Exhibit I to the Gaslantic Agency Agreement, rather than
for the data sets identified in Exhibit A to the TransCapacity TPA.
Tennessee states that due to an administrative oversight, Tennessee
did not file the TransCapacity TPA, National Capacity TPA and Gaslantic
Agency Agreement with the Commission prior to their contractual
effective dates. Tennessee requests all waivers of the Commission's
regulations that may be necessary to allow this filing to become
effective on October 17, 1997. Tennessee states that an effective date
of October 17, 1997 is consistent with the effective date for the
TransCapacity TPA and would be prior to the contractual effective date
for the National Capacity TPA and Gaslantic Agency Agreement.
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 Section 385.214 and Section 385.211 of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must
be filed on or before February 6, 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 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
