E4-1298. Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Filing and Request for Waiver

June 3, 2004.

Take notice that on May 28, 2004, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee), tendered for filing a report on the status of its take-or-pay costs and a request for waiver of section 2 of Article XXV of the General Terms and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1, in order to permit Tennessee to omit the filing of the revised tariff sheets scheduled to be filed on May 28, 2004, and to omit further filings under this Article.

Tennessee states that this filing of the current accounting is in compliance with Article XXV of the General Terms and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1. Tennessee further states that the request for waiver is based on the fact that Tennessee has not incurred any recoverable take-or-pay costs since its last filing on November 26, 2003.
