[Docket No. RP88-44-048]

 

El Paso Natural Gas Co.; Tariff Filing

April 20, 1994.
    Take notice that on April 15, 1994, El Paso Natural Gas Company (El 
Paso), tendered for filing, pursuant to Part 154 of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (Commission) Regulations Under the Natural Gas 
Act and in compliance with the Commission's Order Granting in Part and 
Denying in Part Requests for Rehearing and Clarification issued March 
1, 1994 (March 1, 1994 order) at Docket No. RP88-44-044, certain tariff 
sheets to its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1-A.
    El Paso states that on November 5, 1992, in compliance with the 
Commission's order dated October 9, 1992 at Docket No. RP88-44-020 El 
Paso filed revised tariff sheets to provide, among other things, 
correlative (comparable) discounts when El Paso discounted the rate it 
charged for the transportation of its sales gas or the gas of marketing 
affiliates on the mainline. On May 21, 1993, El Paso states that it 
filed modifications to the comparable discount provisions in compliance 
with the Commission's order dated May 6, 1993, which granted rehearing 
in part of the October 9, 1992 order. El Paso states that the 
Commission, in its March 1, 1994 order, found that it was a mistake to 
apply the comparable discount requirements of Order Nos. 497 and 636 to 
El Paso prior to restructuring and the spin-off of its merchant 
division. Accordingly, El Paso states, the Commission reversed its 
prior decision to require comparable discounts under the requirements 
of Order Nos. 497 and 636 before pre-restructuring.
    El Paso states that it is filing in compliance with the March 1, 
1994 order. El Paso states that it has removed the comparable discount 
requirements for the time period prior to El Paso's implementation of 
restructuring.
    El Paso requests all necessary waivers of the Commission's 
regulations so as to permit the tendered tariff sheets to become 
effective on October 9, 1992.
    El Paso states that copies of the filing were served upon all of El 
Paso's interstate pipeline system transportation and sales customers 
and interested state regulatory commissions.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Sec. 385.211 of 
the Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests should be 
filed on or before April 27, 1994. 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. Copies of this 
filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public 
inspection in the public reference room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
