Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Report Filing

May 15, 1996.
    Take notice that on April 30, 1996, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern) filed a report discussing its actual 
experience regarding the ``enhanced segment rights'' and the ``capacity 
release'' procedures. The report is pursuant to an order issued April 
17, 1995 in Docket No. RP94-357-000.
    The enhanced segmented transportation rights allow customers to 
receive and deliver their zone limit (MDQ adjusted for capacity 
release) once in each upstream market zone. These rights also give 
customers the right to deliver gas to Texas Eastern storage points 
without these deliveries being included in the calculation of gas 
delivered in excess of customer's contract MDQ.
    Texas Eastern states that the report shows that 56 percent of 
enhanced segment rights transactions that occurred during the period 
October 1994 through February 1996 involved the use of capacity under 
released contracts. Texas Eastern also states that the report shows 
that the use of capacity release on its system has increased 
significantly. The report reflects that for the 12 months ended 
February 29, 1996, as compared to the 12 months ended February 28, 
1995, capacity release delivered volumes increased by 61 percent, 
reservation charge credit backs increased by 66 percent, and total 
deals increased by 95 percent.
