Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company; Notice of Proposed Changes
in FERC Gas Tariff

Take notice that on July 31, 1998, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line
Company (Panhandle) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff,
First Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on Appendix A to
the filing, to become effective September 1, 1998.
Panhandle states that this filing removes from its currently
effective rates the Second Supplemental Take-or-Pay (TOP) Volumetric
Surcharge of .04 cents per Dt. applicable to firm and interruptible
service established in Docket No. RP97-433-000. The current volumetric
surcharge in Section 18.4 of the General Terms and Conditions (GT&C)
was approved by the Commission letter order issued August 29, 1997.
Panhandle further states that this filing removes from its
currently effective rates the $0.39 per Dt. Canadian Resolution
Reservation Surcharge applicable to Rate Schedules FT, EFT and LFT, the
2.44 cents per Dt. Canadian Resolution Volumetric Surcharge applicable
to Rate Schedule SCT and the 1.75 cents per Dt. Canadian Resolution
Volumetric Surcharge applicable to Rate Schedules IT and EIT. The
current Canadian Resolution Surcharges in Section 18.6 of the GT&C were
established in a October 2, 1992 Stipulation and Agreement (October 2,
1992 Settlement) in Docket No. RP91-229-000 et al., approved by a
Commission order issued October 30, 1992, 60 FERC para. 61,160 (1992).
Panhandle also states that this filing removes from its currently
effective rates the Second GSR Settlement Rate Component applicable to
interruptible transportation service provided under Rate Schedule IT
and EIT. The Second GSR Settlement Interruptible Rate Component was
established in a April 18, 1996 Stipulation and Agreement in Docket No.
RP95-411-000 (April 18, 1996 Settlement). The April 18, 1996 Settlement
was approved by Commission order issued May 31, 1996 75 FERC para.
61,242 (1996). In accordance with Article I, Section 3(e) of the April
18, 1996 Settlement, the initial recovery period will terminate on
August 31, 1998.
Accordingly, Panhandle proposes to remove 0.04 cents from the
8.48 cents GSR Rate Component applicable to Rate Schedules IT and EIT
to reduce the GSR Rate Component to 8.44 cents.
Panhandle states that copies of this filing are being served on all
affected customers and applicable state regulatory agencies.
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,

Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed as
