[Docket No. RP97-303-000]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Petition for Waiver
April 2, 1997.
Take notice that on March 31, 1997, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
(Tennessee) tendered for filing a request for a waiver of the
Commission's regulations and Tennessee's tariff as necessary to permit
Tennessee to continue, for an additional three month period beginning
May 1, 1997 through July 31, 1997, to collect the gas supply
realignment (GSR) surcharge currently in effect under tariff sheets
accepted in Docket No. RP97-200.
Tennessee states that the purpose of the filing is to recover GSR
costs paid, or known and measurable, at the time of this filing, at the
same surcharge level as the currently effective GSR surcharges and in a
manner consistent with Section XXVI of the General Terms and Conditions
of Tennessee's Fifth Revised FERC Gas Tariff.
Alternatively, in the event that the requested waivers are not
granted, Tennessee submitted as part of its Fifth Revised FERC Gas
Tariff the following tariff sheets to be effective May 1, 1997:
Fifteenth Revised Sheet No. 20
Fourteenth Revised Sheet No. 23
Ninth Revised Sheet No. 23B
Fifteenth Revised Sheet No. 26B
Because the five month amortization period applicable to
Tennessee's GSR surcharges Docket No. RP97-200 is due to terminate on
June 30, 1997--two months into the quarter covered by this filing,
Tennessee is also filing herewith an original and five copies of a
second set of the following tariff sheets to be effective July 1, 1997:
Sixteenth Revised Sheet No. 20
Fifteenth Revised Sheet No. 23
Tenth Revised Sheet No. 23B
Sixteenth Revised Sheet No. 26B
Tennessee states that the tariff sheets to become effective July 1,
1997 are identical to those to become effective May 1, 1997 except for
a single item. The May 1, 1997 set of tariff sheets provide for the
continued recovery by Tennessee through June 30, 1997 of the RP97-200
$1.39 surcharge (through the end of the five month amortization period
for those costs) while the July 1, 1997 set of tariff sheets eliminate
the $1.39 surcharge.
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 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed on or
before April 9, 1997. 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 with the Commission 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
