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.

Secretary.
