East Tennessee Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes In 
FERC Gas Tariff

July 7, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 1, 1998, East Tennessee Natural Gas 
Company (East Tennessee), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff 
sheets, with an effective date of August 1, 1998:

Second Revised Sheet No. 9
First Revised Sheet No. 41
First Revised Sheet No. 181
First Revised Sheet No. 199

    East Tennessee states that the purpose of the filing is to provide 
more detail and specificity in East Tennessee's tariff and East 
Tennessee's pro forma service agreements regarding the types of 
discounts that may be granted by East Tennessee. East Tennessee states 
that by including this information in its tariff, East Tennessee hopes 
to reduce any need for filing individual discount agreements as 
``material deviations.''
    East Tennessee proposes to revise two of its rate schedules and the 
related pro forma service agreements, so as to more clearly reflect the 
types of discounts that may be given by East Tennessee. First, East 
Tennessee proposes to revise Section 4.1 of Rate Schedule FT-A and 
Section 6.1 of the pro forma transportation agreement to reflect all of 
the following types of discounts for FT-A service: (a) point-specific; 
(b) volume-specific; (c) discounts based on a variable reservation/
commodity charge allocation; and (d) authorized overrun.
    In addition, to address the release of discounted volumes, East 
Tennessee proposes to add the following sentence to Section 4.1 and 
Section 6.1: ``In the event Shipper releases capacity at a rate which 
is higher than Shipper's discounted rate, such difference may be shared 
in the manner agreed to by Transporter and Shipper.'' Second, East 
Tennessee proposes to revise Sections 4.1 of Rate Schedule IT and 
Section 6.1 of the IT pro forma transportation agreement to provide for 
point-specific and volume-specific discounts.
    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.
