[Docket No. RP97-297-001]
Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Compliance Filing
June 18, 1997.
Take notice that on June 13, 1997, Florida Gas Transmission Company
(FGT) tendered for filing certain information related to the recovery
of transition costs and proposed refunds of overcollections to its
shippers.
FGT states that on March 24, 1997, it made two filings with respect
to its transition cost recovery mechanism set forth in Section 24 of
the General Terms and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised
Volume No. 1. Specifically, in Docket No. RP97-297-000, FGT requested
waiver of its tariff provisions and submitted an out-of-cycle TCR
report (Out-of-Cycle Report) which reflected actual recoveries through
February 28, 1997, with projections for the months of March and April,
1997. The Out-of-Cycle Report projected that FGT's Order 636 Account
balance would be fully recovered during March, 1997 and that its TCR
Account balance would be fully recovered during April, 1997.
Accordingly, in Docket No. RP97-296-000, FGT filed tariff sheets to
suspend its TCR and 636 Reservation Charges and TCR Usage Surcharge
(Suspension Filing) effective May 1, 1997. Both filings included the
provisions that FGT would file a supplemental report no later than June
15, 1997 to reflect actual recoveries for the months of March and
April, 1997 and to set forth its proposal to refund any overcollections
that would occur during April, 1997.
On April 30, 1997, the Commission issued an order (``April 30
order'') accepting the tariff sheets filed in the Suspension Filing.
The April 30 Order also accepted the Out-of-Cycle Report, subject to:
(1) the filing of the supplemental report described above no later than
June 15, 1997, and (2) the outcome of another TCR proceeding in Docket
No. RP97-56 currently pending before the Commission. The instant filing
is being made in compliance with the first condition of the April 30
Order.

FGT states that its Order 636 Account balance was, in fact, fully
recovered during March, 1997 and that its TCR Account balance was fully
recovered during April, 1997 with an overrecovery (including carrying
charges) of $1,315,938.36 resulting as of April 30, 1997. FGT proposes
to allocate this refund obligation on a pro rata basis based on actual
recoveries from FGT's shippers during the month of April, 1997, the
month in which the overrecovery occurred, and to make such refunds
within thirty (30) days of a final Commission order accepting this
filing, with carrying charges calculated through the refund date.
Florida Gas states that copies of the report were mailed to all
customers serviced under the rate schedules affected by the report and
the interested state commissions.
Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426 in accordance with Section 385.211 of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed in
accordance with 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.
