[Docket No. RP96-316-001]


Florida Gas Transmission Co.; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

August 15, 1996.
    Take notice that on August 13, 1996, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets to become effective 
September 2, 1996.

Substitute Thirteenth Revised Sheet No. 8B
Substitute Sixth Revised Sheet No. 8B.01

    FGT states that on July 23, 1996, FGT made a filing in the instant 
docket (July 23 Filing) proposing modifications to twenty-nine tariff 
sheets to modify or clarify certain provisions in conformance with 
previous tariff changes approved by the Commission, to make minor 
corrections, and to update certain curtailment information. FGT 
requested an effective date of September 1, 1996, for the tariff 
changes proposed in the July 23, filing.
    FGT states that the two of the tariff sheets included in the July 
23, Filing were Thirteenth Revised Sheet No. 8B and Sixth Revised Sheet 
No. 8B.01 which contain the rates and charges for service in FGT's 
Western Division. The changes proposed in these tariff sheets simply 
added language to the Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage clarifying 
the Western Division shippers would be responsible for any fuel charged 
FGT by upstream Transporting Pipelines. The rates for service on these 
tariff sheets reflected reduced rates proposed by FGT in Docket No. 
RP96-309 filed on July 3, 1996 (July 3 Filing) which were also proposed 
to become effective on September 1, 1996. In the July 23, Filing, FGT 
assumed that the new rates proposed on Twelfth Revised Sheet No. 8B and 
Fifth Revised Sheet No. 8B.01 filed with the July 3 Filing in Docket 
No. RP96-309 would be approved to become effective on September 1, 1996 
and included the fuel charge language on Thirteenth Revised Sheet No. 
8B and Sixth Revised Sheet No. 8B.01 ``on top of'' such new rates.
    However, FGT had stated in the July 3 Filing that the requested 
effective date of September 1, 1996 was contingent upon FGT receiving 
final authorization from the Commission in July 1996 to abandon certain 
facilities as requested in Docket No. CP96-12. Such final authorization 
has not been received and FGT is filing concurrently herewith a Request 
to Delay Action on FGT's July 3, Filing in Docket No. RP96-309 pending 
issuance of a final order in Docket No. CP96-12.
    Consequently, Thirteenth Revised Sheet No. 8B and Sixth Revised 
Sheet No. 8B.01 filed July 23, 1996, in the instant docket reflect 
rates which FGT no longer proposes to become effective September 1, 
1996, as well as the clarifying changes. FGT is filing herein to 
reflect the currently effective rates on Sheet Nos. 8B and 8B.01 rather 
than the rates proposed in Docket No. RP96-309.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rule and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as 
provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 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.
