Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Filing

March 4, 1999.
    Take notice that on March 1, 1999 Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, certain revised tariff sheets 
enumerated in Appendix A attached to the filing, with an effective date 
of April 1, 1999.
    Transco states that the instant filing is submitted pursuant to 
Section 38 of the General Terms and Conditions of Transco's FERC Gas 
Tariff which provides that Transco will file, to be effective each 
April 1, a redetermination of its fuel retention percentages applicable 
to transportation and storage rate schedules. The derivations of the 
revised fuel retention percentages included herein are based on 
Transco's estimate of gas required for operations (GRO) for the 
forthcoming annual period April 1999 through March 2000 plus the 
balance accumulated in the Deferred GRO Account at January 31, 1999.
    Transco has included two adjustments in the estimated GRO for the 
forthcoming annual period. The first adjustment is an increase in the 
System Transportation estimated GRO to reflect a prior period 
adjustment for the period August 1991 through July 1998 that will be 
recorded in February 1999. This adjustment accounts for an error in 
Transco's accounting system (which was corrected in August 1998) that 
incorrectly generated offsetting entries for certain receipts during 
that period, which resulted in an inaccurate determination of Transco's 
actual GRO for that period. The second adjustment is an increase in the 
Rate Schedule GSS estimated GRO to reflect a gas measurement correction 
that will also be recorded in February 1999. Consistent with the 
Commission's October 2, 1998 Letter Order in Docket No. TM98-9-29-001, 
Transco has included these known adjustments to the estimated GRO to 
accurately reflect the estimated GRO quantity.
    Transco states that included in Appendix B attached to the filing 
are the workpapers supporting the derivation of the revised fuel 
retention factors.
    Transco states that copies of the filing have been served upon its 
customers and interested State Commissions.
    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, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions of protests must be filed in 
accordance with 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. 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. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
