02-12525. Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Filing

May 14, 2002.

Take notice that on May 1, 2002, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco) submitted a motion for extension of time to comply with Order No. 587-N, until the date Transco implements its new business system, 1Line.

Transco states that the basis for the extension of time is related to its ongoing efforts to develop its new business system, 1Line and, in the interim, to avoid the allocation of substantial resources necessary to modify its existing system to comply with the Commission's directives. Transco requests an extension of time to comply with the first phase of the intraday recall requirement in Order No. 587-N until the implementation of 1Line on April 1, 2003. Transco contends that it is unable to modify its existing business systems to comply with the Commission's intraday recall provisions by July 1, 2002. Transco further asserts that it cannot manually comply with Order No. 587-N. Since Transco is in the process of developing a new business system 1Line, it requests an extension of time to comply with the first phase of Order No. 587-N until its new business system is implemented. Transco asserts that it anticipates 1Line will be implemented by April 1, 2003.

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.
