[[Page 30054]]

tariff sheets with a proposed effective date of July 1, 1996.

First Revised Sheet No. 209E

Original Sheet No. 209F
Original Sheet No. 209G
Original Sheet No. 209H
Original Sheet No. 593A
Original Sheet No. 593B

    Tennessee states that it is filing the instant tariff sheets to 
allow Balancing Parties on Tennessee who are also interstate pipelines 
to enable their customers that have contracts with Tennessee for firm 
storage under Rate Schedule FS, to use that Tennessee firm storage for 
balancing purposes. Specifically, the tendered tariff sheets will 
enable customers that do not directly connect with Tennessee's system 
to use their FS storage for swing purposes similar to the manner by 
which Tennessee's directly connected customers currently can use 
Tennessee's Storage Swing Option for balancing purposes. Tennessee 
states that it is filing the revised tariff sheets so that it can test 
the proposed Downstream Storage Swing Option (``DSS Option''), using 
its downstream affiliate pipeline, East Tennessee Natural Gas Company 
(East Tennessee), and a group of East Tennessee customers that hold FS 
storage on Tennessee in a Pilot Program. After completion of the Pilot 
Program, Tennessee will move to place the sheets into effect on a 
systemwide basis or will propose modifications of those sheets based on 
actual operating experience.
    Tennessee further states that East Tennessee is filing tariff 
sheets simultaneously herewith that will permit its designated 
customers to use their Tennessee storage for balancing purposes as part 
of the Pilot Program.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said filing should file a petition to intervene or protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Sections 211 and 214 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.211 and 
385.214. All such petitions or protests must 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 this 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a petition 
to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file and available for 
public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
