Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co.; Proposed Changes in FERC Gas 
Tariff
March 2, 1994.
    Take notice that on February 18, 1994, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line 
Company (Panhandle) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
First Revised Volume No. 1 and Original Volume No. 2, revised tariff 
sheets as reflected on Appendix A to the filing.
    The subject tariff sheets bear an issue date of February 28, 1994 
and a proposed effective date of April 1, 1994.
    Panhandle states that this filing is necessary to recover a portion 
of certain additional take-or-pay settlement and contract reformation 
costs in accordance with the Commission's Order No. 528 cost-sharing 
and recovery mechanism. The proposed tariff sheets reflect a volumetric 
surcharge of 0.19 cents per Dt. to effectuate the recovery of 75% of 
approximately $2.4 million of take-or-pay settlement and contract 
reformation costs related to gas purchase arrangements with various 
producer suppliers. Panhandle proposes to recover these amounts over a 
two year period commencing April 1, 1994 and terminating on March 31, 
1996. The volumetric surcharge is applicable to all volumes transported 
by Panhandle (including volumes transported under Storage Related 
Transportation), with two limited exceptions. The volumetric surcharge 
on transportation volumes shall not be applied to:

    (i) Volumes of gas withdrawn from storage, to the extent the 
surcharge was applicable to the transportation of the corresponding 
volumes into storage; or
    (ii) Volumes of gas transported on any portion of the Panhandle 
system for one Shipper,when title to such gas passes to another 
Shipper of gas for immediate redelivery and subsequent 
transportation on the Panhandle system.

    Panhandle further states that copies of its filing were served on 
all jurisdictional customers and interested state regulatory agencies.
    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, 825 North Capital Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with Sections 385.211 and 385.214 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests should 
be filed on or before March 9, 1994. 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.
