[Docket No. TM99-1-34-000]
Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in
FERC Gas Tariff
September 3, 1998.
Take notice that on August 31, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission
Company (FGT) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, effective October 1, 1998, the
following tariff sheets:
Twenty-Ninth Revised Sheet No. 8A
Twentieth Revised Sheet No. 8A.01
Twenty-First Revised Sheet No. 8A.02
Twenty-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 8B
Eighteenth Revised Sheet No. 8B.01
FGT states that Section 27 of the General Terms and Conditions
(GTC) of its Tariff providers for the recovery by FGT of gas used in
the operation of its system and gas lost from the system or otherwise
unaccounted for. The fuel reimbursement charges pursuant to Section 27
consist of the Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage (FRCP), designed to
recovery current fuel usage on an in-kind basis, and the Unit Fuel
Surcharge (UFS), designed to recover or refund previous under or
overcollections on a cash basis. Both the FRCP and the UFS are
applicable to Market Area deliveries and are effective for seasonal
periods, changing effective each April 1 (for the Summer Period) and
each October 1 (for the Winter Period).
FGT states that its is proposing to establish an FRCP of 2.84% to
become effective October 1, 1998. Pursuant to the terms of Section 27.B
of the GTC, FGT may file for adjustments to actual fuel usage and lost
and unaccounted for gas or deliveries when computing its FRCP. FGT
believes that the percentage of deliveries of 2.38% experienced from
October, 1997 through March, 1998, the period which is the basis for
the calculation of the FRCP to become effective October 1, 1998, should
be adjusted to recognize that this is the lowest percentage of
deliveries FGT has experienced for the past five Winter Periods. Only
one other Winter Period percentage was below 3.00% for the previous
five Winter Periods. Accordingly, FGT has adjusted the actual
percentage of deliveries of 2.38% to reflect FGT's historical weighted
average percentage of deliveries for the previous five Winter Periods
of 2.84%.
FGT further states that it is filing to establish a Winter Period
UFS of <$0.0118> per MMBtu to become effective October 1, 1998.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said 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 or 385.211 of the Commission's
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in
accordance with 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.
