Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

February 7, 1994.
    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withdrawn tariff sheets.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. Not all of Columbia's customers elected to take assignment of 
their respective service rights and become direct customers of Texas 
Eastern. As a result, such service rights remained with Columbia. 
The Converting Customers from Granite State are Bay State Gas 
Company and Northern Utilities, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Texas Eastern states that in order to reflect the decrease in 
Columbia's and Granite State's entitlements under their affected 
service agreements and to reflect the relevant entitlements of the 
Converting Customers, Texas Eastern is submitting Fifth Revised Sheet 
Nos. 564-548, 549-551, 553-555, 556-558, 560-562, 563-565, 567-569,

Nos. 548A, 551A, 555A, 558A, 562A, 565A, 569A, 572A, 577A, 580A, 583A 
and 601A to reflect modifications to Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.9 
and 14.4 of the General Terms and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Sixth Revised Volume No. 1.
    (2) Texas Eastern states that in addition to the changes discussed 
above, Texas Eastern is submitting Fifth Revised Sheet Nos. 546, 547, 
549, 550, 553, 554, 556, 557, 560, 561, 563, 564, 567, 568, 570, 571, 
575, 576, 578, 579, 581, 582, 599 and 600 to reflect the modifications 
to Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.9 and 14.4 of the General Terms and 
Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth Revised Volume No. 1 necessary 
to reflect a permanent reallocation of Base and Operational Segment 
Capacity Entitlements, pursuant to the Commission's Regulations\2\ 
promulgated in Order No. 636-A\3\ from Village of Cobden, Illinois; 
City of Grayville Public Utilities; and City of Jonesboro, Illinois to 
City of Kennett, Missouri and Indiana Gas Company under Texas Eastern's 
Rate Schedule SCT. Texas Eastern States that all parties to the 
reallocation have agreed to the effective date of November 1 1993. 
Further, Westport Natural Gas Company notified Texas Eastern that it 
has merged with and changed its name to Indiana Gas Company. Texas 
Eastern has reflected this change and combined its entitlements with 
those of Indiana Gas Company in this filing.
