Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation; Notice of Refund Report

August 26, 1997.

Take notice that on June 27, 1997,

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation (Transco) tendered for

filing a refund report ($79,016,114.33 in

principal and interest) showing that on

May 30, 1997, Transco submitted

refunds (or surcharges) to all affected

shippers in the proceedings in Docket

Nos. RP95–197, IN89–1–002, and RP92–

137–044. In determining the total

amount to be refunded (or surcharged)

to each shipper, Transco states that it

has aggregated the individual shipper

amounts attributable to each

proceeding.

Transco states that an uncontested

Stipulation and Agreement (Partial

Settlement) approved by Commission

letter order issued November 1, 1996 in

Docket No. RP95–197 et al., resolves a

number of rate and tariff issues in Phase

II of Transco’s general section 4 rate

proceeding in Docket No. RP95–197 et

al. The issues resolved in the settlement

include Transco’s cost of service,

throughput level and mix, cost of

classification, rate design, and certain

issues related to the terms and

conditions of Transco’s services, as well

as all issues in Docket Nos. RP96–44

and CP95–737.

Transco further states that based on

the Settlement it has calculated storage

and transportation refunds for the

period September 1, 1995 (the beginning

of the Docket No. RP95–197 rate period)

through July 31, 1996 based on the

difference between the amounts billed

and amounts calculated utilizing

settlement rates.

In addition, pursuant to a Stipulation

and Consent Agreement (Docket No.

IN89–1–002) approved by the

Commission on April 4, 1997, Transco

is to refund to its rate payers $51,788.51.

The refund is to be distributed to

Transco’s shippers proportional to their

pro rata share of the rate refunds under

the aforementioned Settlement in

Docket No. RP95–197.

Finally, Transco states that the

January 23, 1997, order in Docket No.

RP92–137–044 required it to

redistribute excess IT amount of

$17,815,888.52 to its interruptible

transportation shippers that were

previously refunded only to firm

shippers. The Commission on May 14,

1997, approved Transco’s proposal to

refund this amount pursuant to the

Settlement in Docket No. RP95–197.

Any person desiring to protest said

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Section

385.211 of the Commission’s Rules and

Regulations. All such protests should be

filed on or before September 3, 1997.

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. Copies of this filing are

on file with the Commission and are

available for public inspection in the

Public Reference Room.
