Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Proposed 
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

January 3, 1997.
    Take notice that on December 31, 1996 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 
February 1, 1997.
    Texas Eastern states that these revised tariff sheets are filed 
pursuant to Section 15.1, Electric Power Cost (EPC) Adjustment, of the 
General Terms and Conditions of Texas Eastern's FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth 
Revised Volume No. 1. Texas Eastern states that Section 15.1 provides 
that Texas Eastern shall file to be effective each February 1 revised 
rates for each applicable zone and rate schedule based upon the 
projected annual electric power costs required for the operation of 
transmission compressor stations with electric motor prime movers and 
to also reflect the EPC Surcharge which is designed to clear the 
balance in the Deferred EPC Account.
    Texas Eastern states that these revised tariff sheets are being 
filed to reflect a small increase in Texas Eastern's EPC Adjustment 
effective February 1, 1997. Texas Eastern states that the primary cause 
of the rate change is attributable to the lower negative balance of the 
Deferred EPC Account as of October 31, 1996 as compared to the negative 
balance of the Deferred EPC account as of October 31, 1995. Texas 
Eastern states that it has utilized its latest actual twelve months of 
electric power costs and its latest actual twelve months service 
quantities as its projections for the future period. Texas Eastern 
states that the impact of this EPC filing on rates at February 1, 1997 
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 
increase of $0.0076/dth of which $0.0040/dth impacts the reservation 
component of rates and $0.0036/dth impacts the usage component.
    Texas Eastern states that copies of its filing have been served on 
all firm customers of Texas Eastern and current interruptible shippers 
and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said 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 as 
provided in 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.

Acting Secretary.
