Texas Eastern Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Proposed

Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

November 3, 2000.

Take notice that on October 31, 2000,

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, the tariff sheets listed on

Appendix B to the filing, to become

effective December 1, 2000.

Texas Eastern states that it is reducing

its rates to effect an annual cost

reduction of approximately $137

million at December 1, 2000 and to

effect new applicable shrinkage factors

for the year commencing December 1,

2000. Texas Eastern states that the

approximate $137 million rate reduction

filing is based upon the projected full

recovery of Order No. 636 transition

costs as of December 1, 2000, and that

if Texas Eastern has in fact

overrecovered its Non-Spot Costs as of

December 1, 2000, Texas Eastern will

return any such excess collection to its

customers as described herein by

crediting the ASA Deferred Account for

ultimate flow back to its customers.

Texas Eastern also states that to the

extent that the actual data establishes

that Texas Eastern has not fully

recovered such Non-Spot Costs before

December 1, 2000, Texas Eastern will

voluntarily absorb any such

unrecovered Non-Spot Costs in order to

assure its customers a rate reduction for

the upcoming winter.

Texas Eastern states that the revised

tariff sheets are being filed (1) 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, (2) in compliance with
