    FGT states that the instant filing is made in accordance with 
Section 154.202 of the Commission's Regulations. FGT is proposing to 
offer a new interruptible Park `N Ride (PNR) service under Rate 
Schedule PNR. FGT states that PNR service will enable it to

[[Page 60492]]

accommodate the needs of its customers in a manner not currently 
available under its existing Tariff by providing shippers greater 
flexibility in managing their daily gas supply needs through the use of 
FGT's pipeline system.
    FGT states that PNR service will allow customers to park gas on 
FGT's system or ``ride'' (borrow) gas from FGT at agreed-upon points. 
FGT proposes that PNR service shall be for a minimum of one day and 
shall have a maximum term as mutually agreed to by FGT and the shipper.
    FGT states that PNR service is an optional, interruptible service. 
FGT states that the provision of PNR service shall depend upon FGT 
having the necessary operational flexibility to park and/or ride gas 
quantities. FGT states that PNR service shall have the lowest priority 
in the scheduling process and PNR service will be curtailed, if 
necessary, prior to the curtailment of any other service. Thus, FGT 
asserts, PNR service will not adversely impact the provision of other 
services on FGT's system.
    FGT proposes to require shippers to remove parked quantities or 
return borrowed quantities of gas on a minimum of one day's notice if 
dictated by operating conditions on its system. In the event of a one-
day notice period, FGT states that it will provide affected parties 
with actual notice by both telephone and electronic means. For notice 
periods extending beyond one day, FGT states that it shall provide 
notice to affected parties either by telephone, facsimile, or 
electronic means.
    FGT states that the proposed rates for PNR service under Rate 
Schedule PNR are set forth on Original Sheet No. 8A.03. FGT states that 
the maximum rate which FGT proposes to charge for PNR service is equal 
to its effective maximum rate for interruptible transportation service 
under Rate Schedule ITS-1. FGT states that the minimum rate FGT 
proposes to charge for PNR service is calculated using the estimated 
incremental costs for rendering this service.
    FGT states that it anticipates offering discounts appropriate to 
market conditions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First 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 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 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.

Secretary.
