Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Proposed 
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

March 5, 1997.
    Take notice that on February 28, 1997 Transcontinental Gas Pipe 
Line Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing certain revised tariff 
sheets to Third Revised Volume No. 1 of its FERC Gas Tariff enumerated 
in Appendix A attached to the filing.
    Transco states that the instant filing is submitted pursuant to 
Section 38 of the General Terms and Conditions of Transco's FERC Gas 
Tariff which provides that Transco will file, to be effective each 
April 1, a redetermination of its fuel retention percentages applicable 
to transportation and storage rate schedules. The derivations of the 
revised fuel retention percentages included herein are based on 
Transco's estimate of gas required for operations (GRO) for the 
forthcoming annual period April 1997 through March 1998 plus the 
balance accumulated in the Deferred GRO Account at January 31, 1997.
    Transco states that an alternate tariff sheet has also been 
tendered for filing which reflects a change in the method used to 
derive the fuel retention factor applicable to Section 7(c) firm 
transportation service provided by Transco under Rate Schedule FT-NT. 
The proposed method would effect the sole remaining Rate Schedule FT-NT 
shipper (New York Power Authority) in that they would be assessed the 
system transmission fuel retention percentage in zone 6 rather than an 
incrementally determined fuel percentage.
    Included in Appendices B and B-1 attached to the filing are the 
workpapers supporting the derivation of the revised fuel retention 
factors.
    Transco states that copies of the filing have been served upon its 
affected customers and interested State Commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or 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. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion 
to intervene. 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.
