03-17687. Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

July 8, 2003.

Take notice that on July 1, 2003, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed in Appendix A to the filing, with an effective date of August 1, 2003.

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. Transco states that the GPS Surcharge is designed to recover (1) 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 (2) the related cost of transporting such gas.

Transco further states that the revised GPS Surcharge included therein consists of two components—the Current GPS Surcharge calculated for the period August 1, 2003 through July 31, 2004 plus the Great Plains Deferred Account Surcharge (Deferred Surcharge). Transco states that the determination of the Deferred Surcharge is based on the balance in the current GPS subaccount plus accumulated interest at April 30, 2003.

Transco states that included in Appendix B attached to the filing are workpapers supporting the calculation of the revised GPS Surcharge of $0.0069 per dt reflected on the tariff sheets included therein.

Transco asserts that it is serving copies of the instant filing to its affected customers, interested State Commissions and other interested parties.
