order on rehearing of its June 16, 1994 order at Docket No. RP91-26-
007, et al. El Paso states that ordering paragraph (B) permits El Paso 
to file revised rates to collect carrying charges on the take-or-pay 
costs included in its first Order No. 500 filing for the period July 1,

    El Paso states that it is tendering certain tariff sheets to revise 
its previously approved Throughput Surcharge and Monthly Direct Bill
