[Docket No. RP99–351–002]

Florida Gas Transmission Company;

Notice of Compliance Filing

November 22, 2000.

Take notice that on November 14,

2000, Florida Gas Transmission

Company (FGT) tendered for filing to

become part of its FERC Gas Tariff,

Third Revised Volume No. 1, the

following tariff sheets, effective

December 1, 2000:

Fourth Revised Sheet No. 650

Third Revised Sheet No. 651

Third Revised Sheet No. 652

Third Revised Sheet No. 653

Fourth Revised Sheet No. 654

FGT states that on June 5, 1999 FGT

filed revised tariff sheets to reflect the

certification of the Data Verification

Committee (DVC) of the ‘‘Index of

Requirements by End Use Priority for

the 12 Month Period Ending June 30,

1998.’’ The DVC certification is

pursuant to Section 17.A.4 of the

General Terms and Conditions of the

FGT FERC Gas Tariff, which requires (i)

that shippers submit data showing usage

of Priority 1 and/or Priority 2 Exempt

Uses for a one-year period ending every

third July 31 and (ii) that the DVC

certify the volumes which qualify as

Priority 1 or Priority 2 Exempt Uses. On

July 7, 1997 Coronet Industries, Inc.

(Coronet) and U.S. Agri-Chemicals

Corporation (US Agri-Chem) jointly

filed a protest objecting to the DVC’s

reading of the tariff to exclude

agricultural uses having alternative fuel

capability on August 29, 1979 and

requesting that their entire usage be

included as a Priority 2 Exempt Use.

Coronet and US Agri-Chem also

objected to the DVC decision to allow

shippers having no growth to use

existing Exempt Use data collected for

the period for July 1, 1994 to June 31,

1995 in lieu of resubmitting actual daily

average gas usage for the period July 1,

1997 to June 30, 1998. On July 16, 1999

FGT filed a response to the Protest.

Also, FGT states that on July 23, 1999

the Commission issued its ‘‘Order

Accepting and Suspending Tariff Sheets

Subject to Refund and Establishing a

Briefing Schedule.’’ Coronet/US AgriChem and FGT filed Initial Briefs on

August 12, 1999 and Reply Briefs on

August 23, 1999. On September 15,

2000 the Commission issued its ‘‘Order

on Briefs.’’ The Commission determined

that the DVC was correct in its decision

to exclude agricultural uses with

alternate fuel capability on August 29,

1979. However, the Commission

determined that it was inappropriate to

utilize Exempt Use data from the prior

data collection. The Commission

required the collection of actual data for

the 12-month period ending in June 30,

1998.

And, FGT states that by letter dated

September 27, 2000, FGT gave notice

that customers were required to submit

actual end use data pursuant to the

Commission’s September 15, 2000

Order. This data was submitted and on

November 2, 2000 the DVC met to vote

on the certification of requirements.

Any person desiring to protest said

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with Section

385.211 of the Commission’s Rules and

Regulations. All such 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. 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 web at http://

www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call

202–208–2222 for assistance).

Comments and protests may be filed

electronically via the internet in lieu of

paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)

Commission’s web site at http://
