Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Tariff 
Filing

July 6, 1998.
    Take notice that on June 6, 1998, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing certain revised tariff sheets 
to its FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1. The proposed 
effective date of such tariff sheets is August 1, 1998.
    Transco states that the instant filing is submitted pursuant to 
Section 39 of the General Terms and Conditions of Transco's FERC Gas 
Tariff which provides that Transco will file to adjust its Great Plains 
Volumetric Surcharge (GPS) 30 days prior to each GPS Annual Period 
beginning August 1. The GPS Surcharge is designed to recover: (i) the 
cost of gas purchased from Great Plains Gasification Associates (or its 
successor) which exceeds the Spot Index (as defined in Section 39 of 
the General Terms) and (ii) the related cost of transporting such gas.
    The revised GPS Surcharge included therein consists of two 
components--the Current GPS Surcharge calculated for the period August 
1, 1998 through July 31, 1999, plus the Great Plains Deferred Account 
Surcharge (Deferred Surcharge). The determination of the Deferred 
Surcharge is based on the balance in the current GPS subaccount plus 
interest accumulated by April 30, 1998. Appendix B to the filing 
includes workpapers supporting the calculation of the revised GPS 
Surcharge of $0.0179 per dt reflected on the tendered tariff sheets.
    Transco states that copies of the instant filing are being mailed 
to customers, State Commissions and other interested parties.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations. All such motions 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 
the proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must file a 
motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
