Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Rate Filing

December 1, 1994.
    Take notice that on November 23, 1994, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1, Substitute Second Revised Sheet 
Nos. 126, 128, 129, Substitute Original Sheet No. 659D and Third 
Revised Sheet No. 125. Tennessee states that the purpose of this filing 
is to comply with the Commission's October 27, 1994 order in the above-
referenced docket approving Tennessee's proposed PAT Rate Schedule. 
Tennessee requests an effective date for the above-referenced sheets of 
November 1, 1994.
    Tennessee states that in its October 27 Order, the Commission 
conditioned its acceptance on Tennessee responding to concerns that the 
Commission had with the filing. In response, the instant filing, 
eliminates the reference to ``Shipper's facilities'' in Sec. 3.2 of the 
PAT Rate Schedule at Sheet No. 125. Second, Tennessee has clarified at 
Sheet No. 125 that scheduling under Rate Schedule PAT is subject to the 
same scheduling provisions as all other rate schedules. Third, 
Tennessee made the changes requested by the New England Customer Group 
at Sheet No. 659D.
    In addition to the above-described changes, Tennessee states that 
it has modified the nominations procedures to allow shippers to 
nominate PAT Service on a monthly basis during the Winter Season 
instead of requiring them to nominate on a seasonal basis. Tennessee 
has agreed to make this change at the request of shippers because 
monthly nominations will provide shippers with additional flexibility.
    Tennessee also states that, in response to concerns that certain 
restrictions on PAT service might not be necessary or might be 
discriminatory, restricting PAT service to storage points is necessary 
at this time in order to avoid problems with Tennessee's nomination and 
allocation system. Tennessee is willing to reevaluate the need for this 
restriction, but does not feel that it can ensure smooth operations for 
this winter without it. Similarly, Tennessee states that because all of 
Tennessee's storage interconnection points are covered by balancing 
agreements, the balancing agreement requirement will not prevent anyone 
from using this service this winter. If, after one winter season of 
operations, Tennessee removes the storage restriction, it will also 
reevaluate the need for the balancing agreement requirement.
    While Tennessee does not believe any waivers are necessary, 
Tennessee respectfully requests that the Commission grant any waivers 
it deems necessary for acceptance of this filing.
    Tennessee states that copies of the filing have been mailed to all 
of its jurisdictional customers and affected state regulatory 
commission.
    Any person desiring to protest with reference to said filing should 
file a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North 
Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with 
Section 211 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 
385.211. All such protests should be filed on or before December 8, 
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 this proceeding. Copies of this filing are on file and 
available for public inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
