Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Proposed

Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

November 4, 1997.

Take notice that on October 31, 1997,

Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation

(Texas Eastern) tendered for filing as

part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth

Revised Volume No. 1 and Original

Volume No. 2, revised tariff sheets listed

on Appendix A to the filing to become

effective December 1, 1997.

Texas Eastern states that the revised

tariff sheets are being filed (i) pursuant

to Section 15.6, Applicable Shrinkage

Adjustment (ASA), contained in the

General Terms and Conditions of Texas

Eastern’s FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth Revised

Volume No. 1, and (ii) pursuant to

Texas Eastern’s Docket No. RP85–177–

119, et al., Stipulation and Agreement

(Settlement) filed January 31, 1994, and

approved by Commission order issued

May 12, 1994.

Texas Eastern states that it is filing

concurrently its Annual PCB-Related

Cost Filing to reflect the PCB-Related

Cost rate components to be effective for

the twelve month period December 1,

1997, through November 30, 1998 (PCB

Year 8). Texas Eastern states that the

combined impact on Texas Eastern’s

rates at December 1, 1997, of this filing

in combination with the PCB Year 8

Filing for typical long haul service

under Rate Schedule FT–1 from Access

Area Zone East Louisiana to Market

Zone 3 (ELA–M3) equates to an overall

decrease of 0.15 cents as follows:

100% LF

Impact

($/dth)

PCB Year 7 Filing ....................... 0.0015

ASA & Global Settlement:

ASA Surcharge ....................... (0.0117)

Spot Fuel Component ............. 0.0090

Account 858 Costs .................. (0.0003)

Grand total ....................... (0.0015)

Texas Eastern states that the changes

proposed to become effective beginning

December 1, 1997 consist of (1) ASA

Percentages designed to retain in-kind

the projected quantities of gas required

for the operation of Texas Eastern’s

system, less quantities projected to be

purchased from Appendix C contracts

under the Settlement, in providing

service to its customers, (2) the ASA

Surcharge designed to recover the net

monetary value recorded in the

Applicable Shrinkage Deferred Account

as of August 31, 1997, (3) Spot Fuel

Components designed to recover the

Spot Costs, as defined in the Settlement,

projected to be incurred over the twelve

month period beginning December 1,

1997, and the balance recorded in the

Spot Fuel Deferred Account as of

August 31, 1997, (4) A Fuel Reservation

Charge Adjustment designed to recover

the excess (limited to a maximum rate

specified by the Settlement) of the

August 31, 1997, balance in the NonSpot Fuel Deferred Account over the

threshold amount of $20 million

specified in Appendix E of the

Settlement, and (5) an Account No. 858

Costs rate component designed to

recover the August 31, 1997, balance

recorded in the Account No. 858 Costs

Deferred Account which represents the

amount necessary to true up the actual

costs incurred subsequent to the

Effective Date of the Settlement with

actual cost recoveries subsequent to the

Effective Date of the Settlement, plus

applicable carrying costs. Texas Eastern

states that this filing also constitutes

Texas Eastern’s report of the annual

reconciliation of the interruptible

revenues under Rate Schedules IT–1,

PTI and ISS–1 as well as for Rate

Schedule LLIT and for Rate Schedule

VKIT.

Texas Eastern states that the ASA

Percentages proposed herein are

decreased compared to those

percentages in Texas Eastern’s currently

effective tariff. Texas Eastern has

requested waiver of its tariff or any

other waivers the Commission may

deem necessary in order to permit Texas

Eastern to levelize its ASA percentages

for the eight month period covering the

Spring, Summer and Fall seasons in the

interest of rate stability based upon

several requests from its customers.

Texas Eastern states that copies of its

filing have been served on all Firm

Customers of Texas Eastern and

Interested State Commissions, as well as

all current interruptible shippers and all

parties to the Settlement in Docket No.

RP85–177–119, et al.
