Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

December 5, 1994.
    Take notice that on December 1, 1994, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, effective January 1, 1995, the 
following tariff sheets:

1st Revised Eighth Revised Sheet No. 8A
Original Sheet No. 8A.01
Original Sheet No. 8A.02
Seventh Revised Sheet No. 8B
Original Sheet No. 8B.01

    FGT states that Section 27 of the General Terms and Conditions 
(GTC) of its Tariff provides for the recovery by FGT of gas used in the 
operation of its system and gas lost from the system or otherwise 
unaccounted for. The Fuel Reimbursement Charge established pursuant to 
Section 27 consists of the Current Fuel Reimbursement Charge and the 
Annual Fuel Surcharge.
    FGT explains that the Current Fuel Reimbursement Charge is adjusted 
each April 1 and October 1 and is designed to recover current fuel use 
and unaccounted for volumes based on historical data from comparable 
calendar periods in the preceding year. Differences between amounts 
retained by FGT pursuant to the Fuel Reimbursement Charge and the 
actual quantities used by FGT and unaccounted for are recorded each 
month in a Deferred Fuel Account. FGT states that, pursuant to Section 
27 of the GTC, the Current Fuel Reimbursement may be adjusted on an 
out-of-cycle basis if required to more closely match volumes retained 
with volumes used and unaccounted for in order to minimize the 
quantities recorded to the Deferred Fuel Account.
    FGT further explains that the Annual Fuel Surcharge is computed for 
each twelve month Recovery Period beginning each January 1 and is 
designed to refund or collect the balance of the Deferred Fuel Account 
as of the preceding August 31. The first Annual Fuel Surcharge is to 
become effective January 1, 1995 and is based on the volumes recorded 
to FGT's Deferred Fuel Account during the period from November 1, 1993 
through August 1, 1994. In accordance with Section 27.E.1 of FGT's GTC, 
the initial Annual Fuel Surcharge is computed by dividing the Deferred 
Fuel Account balance as of August 31, 1994 by the projected 1995 
deliveries by FGT under its Rate Schedules FTS-1, SFTS, PTS-1, PRS, and 
ITS-1.
    FGT states that since the implementation of Order No. 636 on 
November 1, 1993, FGT has made numerous refinements to the accounting 
and data processing systems used to record the activity on FGT's 
pipeline system in the restructured environment. FGT states that it has 
undertaken an ongoing reconciliation process to analyze the data 
captured and reported by the new systems developed to implement Order 
No. 636, including the fuel tracking mechanism provided for in Section 
27 of the GTC. As a result of the ongoing reconciliation process, data 
used by FGT to establish the Current Fuel Reimbursement Charge 
Percentage made effective October 1, 1993 has been adjusted.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 27 of the GTC of its Tariff, FGT 
states that it is filing to establish the initial Annual Fuel Surcharge 
of <0.30>% to be effective January 1, 1995 and to make an out-of-cycle 
adjustment to change the Current Fuel Reimbursement Charge to 2.47%, 
also to be effective January 1, 1995.
    In addition, FGT states that it is revising the format, or 
presentation, of the data contained on its tariff sheets reflecting the 
currently effective rates. FGT states that these changes in format are 
proposed to clarify the applicability of the various surcharges to the 
various rate schedules and to make it easier for tariff holders, 
shippers, and potential shippers to use the information contained on 
these tariff sheets.
    FGT states that copies of the filing were mailed to all customers 
serviced under the rate schedules affected by the filing and the 
interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a Motion to Intervene or 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 protests should be filed on 
or before December 12, 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. 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.
