    Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request for 
    Waiver of FERC Gas Tariff
    
    January 30, 1998.
        Take notice that on January 27, 1998, Texas Eastern Transmission 
    Corporation (Texas Eastern) tendered for filing a request for waiver of 
    Section 1, Availability, of Rate Schedule SCT (Small Customer 
    Transportation) included in Texas Eastern's FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth 
    Revised Volume No. 1 to provide service to the Village of East Cape 
    Girardeau, Illinois and Surrounding areas.
        Texas Eastern states that, although Texas Eastern does not intend 
    to expand generally the availability of Rate Schedule SCT service, 
    Texas Eastern believes a waiver is warranted based on the facts in this 
    instance. Texas Eastern states that East Cape Girardeau does not 
    currently receive gas service and Texas Eastern is the closest and only 
    economically available source of pipeline capacity to serve East Cape 
    Girardeau and surrounding areas. Texas Eastern states that since the 
    volume of service requested is de minimus compared to Texas Eastern's 
    aggregate capacity entitlements, Texas Eastern's existing customers 
    will not be detrimentally impacted.
        Texas Eastern requests that the Commission approves this request 
    for waiver on or before April 1, 1998, in order to provide certainty 
    that natural gas service will be available to East Cape Girardeau and 
    surrounding areas commencing on November 1, 1998 when the next heating 
    season begins.
        Texas Eastern states that copies of its filing have been served on 
    all firm customers of Texas Eastern and interested state commissions.
        Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
    file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
    Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
    accordance with Sections 3785.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's Rules 
    of Practice and Procedure. 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 the 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.
    Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
    Acting Secretary.
