[Docket Nos. RP96-312-009; and GT98-19-000]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Tariff Filing
February 24, 1998.
Take notice that on February 18, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company (Tennessee) tendered for filing and Commission approval (1) a
Gas Transportation Agreement between Tennessee and Distrigas of
Massachusetts, Inc. (DOMAC), hereinafter referred to as the DOMAC
Service Agreement, and (2) Sixth Revised Sheet No. 412 of Tennessee's
FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1. Tennessee requests an
effective date of April 1, 1998 for the revised tariff sheet.
Tennessee states that the DOMAC Service Agreement is being filed
both as a negotiated rate service agreement and as a non-conforming
service agreement. The tariff sheet references the DOMAC Service
Agreement as a non-conforming service agreement.
In its June 25, 1997 ``Order Issuing Certificates'' in Tennessee,
Docket No. CP96-164-000 (June 25 Order), the Commission found that the
rate which Tennessee proposed to charge DOMAC for service over the
facilities certificated therein, i.e., the applicable rate under
Tennessee's Rate Schedule FT-A, constituted a negotiated rate.
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, 70 FERC para. 61,375 (1997). In
accordance with the Commission's directive in its June 25 Order and
consistent with the Commission's decisions in Noram Gas Transmission
Company, 75 FERC para. 61,091 (1996) and Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company, 76 FERC para. 61,224 (1996), Tennessee is filing the DOMAC
[[Page 10214]]
Service Agreement as a negotiated rate contract.
Further, Although Tennessee does not believe that the DOMAC Service
Agreement ``deviates in any material aspect'' from the pro forma FT-A
Gas Transportation Agreement contained in Volume No. 1 of Tennessee's
FERC Gas Tariff (Pro Forma FT-A Agreement), Tennessee is submitting the
DOMAC Service Agreement for, Commission approval pursuant to Section
154.1(d) of the Commission's Regulations because it contains certain
provisions which differ from Tennessee's Pro Forma FT-A Agreement.
Tennessee states that the DOMAC Service Agreement reflects the
authorizations granted by the Commission in its June 25 Order.
Tennessee states that copies of the filing have been mailed to all
affected customers and state regulatory commissions.
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 Sections 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed as
provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. Protests
will be considered by the Commission in determining he appropriate
action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to
this 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 available for public inspection in the Public Reference
Room.

Acting Secretary.
