Transportation Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Request for 
Waiver

August 5, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 31, 1998 Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing a request for waiver of the 
Commission's requirement in Order No. 587-G that, effective August 1, 
1998, a cross-reference table for D-U-N-S numbers be provided by 
interstate pipeline companies correlating such D-U-N-S numbers with the 
names of shippers.
    The Commission has recently been apprised by the Gas Industry 
Standards Board (GISB), that the proprietary issues related to gas 
industry usage of D-U-N-S numbers is not yet settled. Such report 
states that GISB executive committee officers are currently holding 
discussions with Dun & Bradstreet regarding the appropriate way to deal 
with the cross-reference table requirement. Further in its report, GISB 
has characterized these discussions as complex and anticipates that 
additional time will be required before any resolution can be reached. 
Therefore, given the current status of the ongoing negotiations between 
GISB and Dun & Bradstreet, Transco respectfully requests a wavier of 
Sec. 284.10(c)(3)(iii) of the Commission's Regulations.
    Transco states that copies of the filing are being mailed to its 
affected customers and interested State Commissions.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed on 
or before August 12, 1998. 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. Copies of 
this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for 
public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
