Take notice that on January 25, 1994 Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation (Texas Eastern) submitted for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on Appendix A of the filing. Texas Eastern states that on December 21, 1993, Texas Eastern filed a letter with the Commission in which it requested the withdrawal of tariff sheets filed on December 7, 1993 in Docket No. GT94-13-000 and stated that it would refile tariff sheets to reflect the concerns of National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation expressed in its protest filed in Docket No. GT94-13-000. Accordingly, Texas Eastern herewith submits as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on Appendix A to the filing to replace such withdrawn tariff sheets. (1) Texas Eastern states that this filing is submitted in light of the Commission's July 14, 1993 ``Order on Compliance with Restructuring Rule'' for Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia) in Docket No. RS92-5, et al., (``July 14 Order'') and the Commission's June 18, 1993 ``Order on Compliance With Restructuring Rule'' for Granite State Gas Tarnsmission, Inc. (Granite State'' in Docket No. RS93-1, et al., (``June 18 Order''). Texas Eastern states that it is filing the tariff sheets on Appendix A to the filing for the purpose of reflecting that, pursuant to the July 14 Order and the June 18 Order, certain customers of Columbia and Granite State became direct customers of Texas Eastern (``Converting Customer'')\1\ effective November 1, 1993, by taking assignment of their respective service rights attributable to Columbia's and Granite State's service agreements as of October 31, 1993 with Texas Eastern under Texas Eastern's Rate Schedules CDS, FT-1 and SS-1. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\The Converting Customers from Columbia are Columbia Gas Company of Pennsylvania; Elizabethtown Gas Company; New Jersey Natural Gas Company; New York State Electric and Gas Corporation; Penn Fuel Gas, Inc.; The Providence Gas Company and UGI Utilities, Inc.
