Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co.; Proposed Changes in FERC Gas 
Tariff

May 4, 1994.
    Take notice that on May 2, 1994, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line 
Company (Panhandle) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
First Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff sheets to 
establish a mechanism to flow through Dakota Gasification Transition 
Costs billed to Panhandle by ANR Pipeline Company (ANR). Panhandle 
proposes that the tariff sheets submitted herewith become effective 
June 1, 1994.

Second Revised Sheet No. 11
Second Revised Sheet No. 12
Second Revised Sheet No. 13
First Revised Sheet No. 14
Original Sheet No. 321F
Original Sheet No. 321G
Original Sheet No. 321H

    Panhandle states that on February 28, 1994, ANR filed its first 
quarterly filing (RP94-150-000) to initiate recovery of capacity and 
supply costs associated with ANR's obligations to Dakota Gasification 
Company. On March 30, 1994, the Commission accepted ANR's tariff sheets 
for filing, subject to refund and the outcome of a technical 
conference, permitting ANR to apply a reservation surcharge of $1.104 
per Dth of MDQ applicable to ANR's Shippers as of March 1, 1994.
    Panhandle states it is subject to ANR's Dakota Gasification 
transition cost reservation surcharge because it uses ANR's firm 
transportation service under Rate Schedule FTS-1 to transport gas to 
and from storage provided to Panhandle by ANR Storage Company under 
Rate Schedule X-4. These upstream services are part of the third party 
storage capacity that Panhandle has aggregated with its own pipeline 
storage to provide the Market Area storage services under Rate 
Schedules WS, PS, FS and IWS pursuant to Panhandle's restructured First 
Revised Volume No. 1 Tariff and as approved in Docket Nos. RS92-22-000, 
et al. Panhandle states that it will pay ANR $68,011 in Dakota 
Gasification reservation surcharges for the three months, commencing 
March 1, 1994.
    Panhandle states that the mechanism to flow through the Dakota 
Gasification transition costs is contained in new Section 18.11 of the 
General Terms and Conditions. Section 18.11 provides that Panhandle 
will file quarterly to establish a surcharge to flow through the Dakota 
Gasification transition costs for the three months preceding the 
effective date of the surcharge. The surcharge will be applied to the 
deliverability charge for Panhandle's firm Market Area storage services 
under Rate Schedules WS, PS and FS, and to the monthly inventory charge 
for Panhandle's interruptible Market Area storage service under Rate 
Schedule IWS. Panhandle proposes to establish a deferred account to 
record differences between the Dakota Gasification transition costs 
Panhandle pays to ANR and its monthly recoveries with carrying charges 
on these differences and to file annually to flow through the deferred 
account activity to ``true-up'' recoveries with Panhandle's actual 
costs.
    Panhandle requests that the Commission grant all necessary waivers 
of the Regulations so as to place the instant tariff sheets and 
attendant surcharge into effect on June 1, 1994.
    Panhandle states that a copy of this tariff filing is being served 
on all affected customers and state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the said filing 
should file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with Secs. 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protest should be filed on 
or before May 11, 1994. Protests will be considered by the Commission 
in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve 
to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. 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.

Secretary.
