pursuant to Ordering Paragraph (B) of

the Commission’s Order on Initial

Decision issued on March 17, 2000

(March 17 Order) in Docket No. RP97–

71–000.

Transco states that the purpose of the

recalculated rates reflected in the

instant filing extends from May 1, 1997

determinants in its rate design volumes,

the March 17 Order, and supporting

workpapers for such rates.
