Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Proposed 
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

May 20, 1997.
    Take notice on May 15, 1997, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, certain tariff sheets which tariff 
sheets are enumerated in Appendix A attached to the filing. The 
attached tariff sheets are proposed to be effective July 1, 1997.
    Transco states that the purpose of the filing is to comply with the 
Commission's order of April 30, 1997 in Docket Nos. RP97-312-000 and 
RP97-71-000, 79 FERC para. 61,104 (1997) (April 30th Order). In the 
April 30th Order, the Commission approved, subject to refund and 
certain conditions, the tariff sheets implementing a new interruptible 
parking and borrowing service under Rate Schedule PBS (hereinafter 
``PBS Service''). The April 30th Order directed Transco to: (1) Submit 
a projection of costs and revenues under PBS Service consistent with 
section 154.202(a)(viii) of the Commission's regulations; (2) file 
information explaining the PBS Service curtailment priority; (3) revise 
its tariff to provide that, in the event a PBS shipper makes a timely 
nomination, the obligation of the PBS shipper to comply with a 
notification to withdraw or return gas will be tolled until such time 
as Transco schedules these nominations; (4) provide in its tariff that 
posting the available points of service on ``TRANSIT'' will be done in 
a non-discriminatory manner; and (5) clarify that the Rate Schedule PBS 
nomination deadline will be the same as the deadline for all other 
services. Transco is thereby making the necessary changes to its tariff 
in order to comply with the April 30th Order.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests should be filed 
as provided in 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 proceeding. 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.
