[Docket No. RP96-309-001]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request for Change in 
Proposed Effective Date and Conforming Changes to Tariff Sheets

September 25, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 20, 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 
November 1, 1996.

1st Rev. Sub. 17th Rev. Sheet No. 8A
1st Rev. Sub. 9th Rev. Sheet No. 8A.02
1st Rev. Sub. 15th Rev. Sheet No. 8B
1st Rev. Sub. 8th Rev. Sheet No. 8B.01

    FGT states that on July 3, 1996 FGT filed tariff sheets in the 
above referenced docket (July 3 Filing) to implement rate and tariff 
changes to become effective upon the abandonment and transfer of 
certain facilities for which FGT had requested abandonment 
authorization in Docket No. CP92-12 (``South Texas Facilities''). In 
the July 3 Filing, FGT stated that, because of commercial and 
administrative considerations, the abandonment and transfer of the 
South Texas Facilities would occur on the first day of the first month 
following the date on which the Commission order in Docket No. CP96-12 
became final and non-appealable. In anticipation of a final Commission 
order being issued during July, 1996, FGT requested a September 1, 1996 
effective date for the tariff changes proposed in the July 3 Filing.
    Because a Commission order in Docket No. CP96-12 was not issued in 
July, and the transfer of facilities could not take place on September 
1, FGT filed on August 12, 1996 a Request to Delay Action (``August 12 
Filing'') on FGT's July 3 Filing until such time as a final order 
approving abandonment of the South Texas Facilities was issued. In the 
August 12 Filing, FGT stated that

[[Page 51279]]

once an order was issued in Docket No. CP96-12, FGT would make a filing 
in the instant docket requesting a new effective date for the tariff 
sheets submitted with the July 3 Filing and make any conforming changes 
required to such tariff sheets.
    FGT also states that on September 13, 1996 the Commission issued an 
Order Authorizing Abandonment in Docket Nos. CP96-11 and CP96-12 and, 
assuming such Order becomes final and non-appealable during October, 
1996, FGT expects the transfer of the South Texas Facilities to become 
effective on November 1, 1996. Consequently, FGT is filing herein to 
request a November 1, 1996 effective date for the tariff sheets 
submitted with the July 3 Filing and to substitute tariff sheets 
containing conforming changes to four of the tariff sheets filed on 
July 3, 1996. Conforming changes are required to Sheet Nos. 8A, 8A.02, 
8B, and 8B.01 as a result of filings made by FGT in Docket Nos. RP96-
316, TM97-1-34 and TM97-2-34 which contain changes not reflected on the 
tariff sheets filed in the instant docket on July 3, 1996.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules 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 the 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.

Acting Secretary.
