[Docket No. RP01–82–000]

Florida Gas Transmission Company;

Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC

Gas Tariff

November 14, 2000.

Take notice that on November 7,

2000, Florida Gas Transmission

Company (FGT) tendered for filing to

become part of its FERC Gas Tariff,

Third Revised Volume No. 1, effective

December 1, 2000, the following tariff

sheets:

Forty-Third Revised Sheet No. 8A

Thirty-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 8A.01

Thirty-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 8A.02

Thirty-Ninth Revised Sheet No. 8B

Thirty-Second Revised Sheet No. 8B.01

FGT states that in Docket No. RP00–

519–000 filed on August 31, 2000, FGT

filed to establish a Base Fuel

Reimbursement Charge Percentage (Base

FRCP) of 3.14% to become effective for

the six-month Winter Period beginning

October 1, 2000 reflecting FGT’s actual

fuel usage and unaccounted for gas

during the immediately preceding

Winter Period. Subsequently, in

response to lower throughput and

resulting lower fuel usage of FGT’s

system, on October 23, 2000, in Docket

No. RP01–61–000, FGT filed a Flex

adjustment of (0.39)% to be effective

November 1, 2000, which, when

combined with the Base FRCP of 3.14%,

resulted in an Effective Fuel

Reimbursement Charge Percentage of

2.75%. FGT may file Flex adjustments

of up to 0.50% from the Base FRCP

pursuant to Section 27 of the General

Terms and Conditions (‘‘GTC’’) of FGT’s

tariff.

FGT states that in the instant filing,

FGT is filing an adjustment to the Base

FRCP. Specifically, FGT is filing to

reduce the Base FRCP from 3.14% to

2.50%, effective December 1, 2000. FGT

is proposing the reduction to the Base

FRCP because FGT’s current and

projected fuel usage and unaccounted

for gas is lower than 2.64%, which is

the lowest Effective Fuel

Reimbursement Charge Percentage

permissible under the Flex Provisions

with the current Base FRCP of 3.14%.

The current Base FRCP of 3.14% was

based on actual fuel use and

unaccounted for from the last Winter

Period. For the period from October 1,

2000 to date, FGT has operated at a

much lower throughout than the

historically high throughput of the last

Winter Period. As of the date of the

instant filing, accounting data for

October 2000 is not yet available, but

FGT’s operating data indicates that FGT

is significantly over retaining fuel for

the Winter Period to date. FGT believes

the proposed reduction in the base

FRCP is necessary to minimize over

retention of fuel. Establishing a Base

FRCP of 2.50% provides FGT the

flexibility to utilize the Flex provisions

of its tariff to establish an Effective

FRCP of from 2.00% to 3.00%, a range

which should accommodate the low

throughput and fuel usage now being

experienced as well as a return to the

higher throughput levels of last winter

and the resulting higher fuel usage. FGT

anticipates that it may file a Flex

adjustment to be effective December 1,

2000 to establish an effective FRCP at

level lower than 2.50%.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Sections

385.214 or 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 proceedings.

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. This filing may be viewed on the
