Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company;

Notice of Tariff Filing

April 17, 1998.

Take notice that on April 15, 1998,

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

(Tennessee), tendered for filing as part

of Tennessee’s FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth

Revised Volume No. 1, Ninth Revised

Sheet No. 317, Eighth Revised Sheet No.

318 and Third Revised Sheet No. 339A.

Tennessee requests that these revised

tariff sheets be made effective on June

1, 1998.

Tennessee states that the revised tariff

sheets eliminate three practices on

Tennessee’s system. These practices are:

1. Once segmented capacity has been

released to a replacement shipper,

nominations by the releasing shipper or by

the replacement shipper outside of their

respective retained or acquired capacity

segment resulting in overlapping use of

capacity;

2. Multiple releases of the same segment of

capacity (each release creating a new

contract) so that the sum of the contracts’

total quantity (TQ) exceeds the original

contract holder’s capacity rights through that

segment of pipe; and

3. Releases by a replacement shipper of

capacity segments outside of the capacity

segment the shipper acquired through

capacity release.

Tennessee states that these three

practices occur due to the use of a

priority of service entitled Secondary

Segmenting Within a Zone, a service

flexibility unique to Tennessee’s system

that is provided to firm transportation

shippers who segment capacity through

Tennessee’s capacity release program. It

is Secondary Segmenting Within a Zone

that allows firm shippers on

Tennessee’s system, in both the supply

and market areas, to effectuate the

practices discussed herein, and, through

those practices, overlap and extend

capacity entitlements beyond an

original contract’s capacity entitlements.

Tennessee further states that the

multiplication and overlap of capacity

entitlements is not consistent with

Commission policy and is not required

by Tennessee to provide the flexibility

envisioned by Order No. 636, et al.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this filing should file a motion

to intervene or a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

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 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.

Acting Secretary.
