Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

March 27, 1997.
    Take notice that on March 24, 1997, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, with an effective 
date of May 1, 1997:

Twentieth Revised Sheet No. 8A
Twelfth Revised Sheet No. 8A.02
Eighteenth Revised Sheet No. 8B
Eleventh Revised sheet No. 8B.01

    FGT states that Section 24 of the General Terms and conditions 
(GTC) of FGT's Tariff sets forth the mechanisms by which FGT is 
permitted to collect recoverable transition costs. The provisions of 
Section 24.C.2. and Section 24.D.2 provide that to the extent that in 
any month the balance of the TCR account and/or 636 Account reaches 
zero or is a net credit balance, the assessment and crediting of the 
TCR Reservation Change, the 636 Reservation Charge, and the TCR Usage 
Surcharge shall cease unless and until the TCR and/or 636 Account again 
reach a net debit balance.
    FGT states that it is filing concurrently herewith a Transition 
Cost Recovery Report (TCR Report) which reflects the payment by FGT of 
$1,750,000.00 and $12,159.49 recoverable under FGT's TCR mechanism and 
Order No. 636 mechanism respectively. The TCR report also reflects 
that, based upon estimated recoveries, FGT's Order No. 636 Account 
balance will be fully recovered during March, 1997 and the TCR Account 
balance will be fully recovered during April, 1997.
    Accordingly, FGT states that it is filing herein to suspend its TCR 
Reservation Charge, 636 Reservation Charge and TCR Usage Surcharge 
effective May 1, 1997. FGT states that it will make a supplemental 
filing no later than June 15, 1997 to reflect actual recoveries for the 
months of March and April, 1997 and to set forth its proposal to refund 
any overcollections that may occur during April, 1997. Pursuant to the 
provisions of Section 24, these charges and surcharges will remain 
suspended unless and until the TCR Account and/or the 636 Account reach 
a net debit balance.
    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, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests should be filed in 
accordance with 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.
