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

August 15, 1995.
    Take notice that on August 9, 1995, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line 
Company (Panhandle) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on 
Appendix A to the filing. The proposed effective date of these tariff 
sheets is September 8, 1995.
    Panhandle states that the purpose of this filing is to implement 
Rate Schedule FFT for a Flexible Firm Transportation service on 
Panhandle's system. Rate Schedule FFT is designed to respond to the 
needs of what may well be overlapping segments of Panhandle's market: 
(i) those shippers that desire to bear the risk that the difficult task 
of assembling an inventory of supplies to satisfy resale needs during 
periods of peak demand can be accomplished by limiting the firm 
transportation component of those requirements to only a portion of a 
year; (ii) those shippers for whom the increased use of hedging and 
other sophisticated purchase strategies calls for the availability of 
the limited term service contemplated by Rate Schedule FFT and (iii) 
other emergent needs for interim service on the Panhandle system. 
Although this service is designed for the needs of these specific 
markets, it is available to all shippers.
    Panhandle further states that Rate Schedule FFT is intended to 
enhance the transportation services available to shippers. While 
service will be offered on an open access basis, each agreed upon 
service level will be subject to a specific agreement between the 
shipper and Panhandle under Rate Schedule FFT. The availability of 
service under Rate Schedule FFT necessarily will be subject to the 
operational limitations respecting the capacity on the Panhandle 
system.
    Panhandle states that copies of this filing have been served on all 
current shippers 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, 825 North Capitol 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 on or before August 22, 1995. 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 proceeding. 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
