Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Compliance 
Filing

October 16, 1996.
    Take notice that on October 10, 1996 Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, certain revised tariff sheets, 
which tariff sheets are enumerated in Appendix A to the filing. Such 
tariff sheets are proposed to be effective October 1, 1996 and November 
1, 1996.
    Transco states that the purpose of the filing is to comply with the 
Commission's order of September 25th, 1996 in Docket No. RP96-359-000, 
76 FERC para. 61,318 (1996) (September 25th Order). In the September 
25th Order, the Commission approved, subject to certain conditions, the 
tariff sheets containing the conforming changes to Transco's tariff to 
establish the flexibility to negotiate rates pursuant to the 
Commission's Statement of Policy on Alternatives to Traditional Cost of 
Service Ratemaking for Natural Gas Pipelines. The September 25th Order 
directed Transco to (1) file tariff language clarifying the definition 
of a negotiated rate, (2) explain what effect, if any, the negotiated 
rate proposal would have on the storage and transportation services 
used by Transco's marketing affiliate, as agent for Transco's Rate 
Schedule FS customers, to perform FS sales service, and (3) revise its 
rate schedule and form of service agreement for IT service to conform 
to revisions made to its rate schedules and forms of service agreement 
for firm services. Transco is thereby making the necessary changes to 
its tariff in order to comply with the September 25th Order.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
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 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.
