El Paso Natural Gas Company; Notice of Tariff Filing

August 18, 1995.
    Take notice that on August 14, 1995, El Paso Natural Gas Company 
(El Paso), tendered for filing pursuant to Part 154 of the Commission's 
Regulations Under the Natural Gas Act, and in compliance with the 
Commission's Order Accepting Tariff Sheets Subject to Conditions, 
Granting Request for Clarification, and Granting in Part and Denying in 
Part Rehearing issued July 14, 1995 at Docket Nos. RP88-44-50 and RP88-
44-051, certain tariff sheets to its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised 
Volume No. 1-A.
    El Paso states that it is modifying Section 4.2(e) to it Capacity 
Allocation Procedure in compliance with the July 14, 1995 order in 
which the Commission ordered El Paso to revise its tariff to include 
provisions giving relief to any firm Shipper when that Shipper 
(Emergency Shipper) has exhausted all other self-help remedies in times 
of bona fide emergencies including minimum plant protection. El Paso 
states that it is modifying Section 4.2(e) to provide that the 
emergency capacity will be provided at a receipt point which causes the 
least amount of interruption among its Shippers.
    El Paso states that a Shipper with a contract demand shall not be 
entitled to emergency service in excess of such contract demand. The 
emergency capacity available to a Shipper with a full requirements 
contract shall be determined to be that capacity required to serve a 
verifiable emergency in excess of the quantity initially scheduled by 
said Shipper. El Paso states that it has added a new Section 4.2(f) to 
provide a compensation plan to reimburse Shippers who receive less than 
their scheduled capacity due to emergency service being provided to an 
Emergency Shipper.
    El Paso respectfully requests that the Commission accept the 
tendered tariff sheets for filing and permit it to become effective on 
January 4, 1995, the date on which the Commission's July 14, 1995 order 
made the tariff sheets effective, subject to conditions.
    El Paso states that copies of the filing were served upon all of El 
Paso's interstate pipeline system transportation 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, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Sec. 385.211 
of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests should be 
filed on or before August 25, 1995. 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.
