FGT states that Section 24 of the

FGT’s Tariff sets forth the mechanisms

by which FGT is permitted to collect

recoverable transition costs. The

provisions of Section 24.C.2. and

Section 24.D.2 provide that to the extent

that in any month the balance of the

TCR account and/or 636 Account

reaches zero or is a net credit balance,

the assessment and crediting of the TCR

Reservation Change, the 636 Reservation

Charge, and the TCR Usage Surcharge

shall cease unless and until the TCR

and/or 636 Account again reach a net

debit balance.

FGT states that it is filing

concurrently herewith a Transition Cost

Recovery Report (TCR Report) which

reflects the payment by FGT of

$1,750,000.00 and $12,159.49

recoverable under FGT’s TCR

mechanism and Order No. 636

mechanism respectively. The TCR

report also reflects that, based upon

estimated recoveries, FGT’s Order No.

636 Account balance will be fully

recovered during March, 1997 and the

TCR Account balance will be fully

recovered during April, 1997.

Accordingly, FGT states that it is

filing herein to suspend its TCR

Reservation Charge, 636 Reservation

Charge and TCR Usage Surcharge

effective May 1, 1997. FGT states that it

will make a supplemental filing no later

than June 15, 1997 to reflect actual

recoveries for the months of March and

April, 1997 and to set forth its proposal

to refund any overcollections that may

occur during April, 1997. Pursuant to

the provisions of Section 24, these

charges and surcharges will remain

suspended unless and until the TCR

and Regulations. All such motions or

protests should 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.

Take notice that on March 24, 1997,

Florida Gas Transmission Company

(FGT) tendered for filing a Transition

Cost Recovery Report.

FGT states that Section 24 of the

General Terms and Conditions of its

FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume

No. 1, sets forth the mechanisms by

which FGT is permitted collection of

recoverable transition costs. Section

24.B.4 requires the submission of a

semiannual report each May 1 and

November 1 summarizing the activity

which has occurred in FGT’s TCR

Account and Order 636 Account.

FGT states that on November 1, 1996,

in Docket No. RP96–56–000, it filed a

transition cost recovery report for the

period ended October 31, 1996. Since

October 31, 1996, FGT has incurred

additional settlement payments of

$1,750,000.00 and $12,159.49,

recoverable under FGT’s TCR

mechanism and Order No. 636

mechanism, respectively. At this time,

FGT does not anticipate that any further

production and/or gas supply settlement

payments will be required.

Therefore, FGT respectfully requests

waiver of any provisions of its tariff as

may be required to file the ‘‘out-ofcycle’’ report submitted herein, in lieu

of the semiannual report due May 1,

1997.

FGT states that the instant filing

summarizes the actual activity that has

occurred in FGT’s TCR Account and

Order 636 Account through February

28, 1997. Actual throughput and

recoveries for the months of March and

April, 1997 are not known at this time

and estimates have been reflected herein

for informational purposes. The report

attached hereto indicates FGT’s Order

636 Account balance will be fully

recovered during April, 1997.

Accordingly, FGT is filing concurrently

herewith to suspend its TCR and 636

Reservation Charges and TCR Usage

Surcharge effective May 1, 1997.

FGT further states it will make a

supplemental filing no later than June

15, 1997 to reflect actual throughput

and recoveries for the months of March

and April, 1997 and to set forth its

proposal to refund any overcollections

that may occur during April, 1997.

FGT states that copies of the report

were mailed to all customers serviced

under the rate schedules affected by the

report and the interested state

commission.

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

20426 in accordance with Sections

385.214 and 385.211 of the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.

All such motions or protests should be

filed on or before April 2, 1997. 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
