Take notice that on March 26, 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 April 1, 1997: Second Revised Sheet No. 115 Original Sheet No. 115A FGT states that on January 16, 1997, FGT filed revised Tariff sheets in Docket, No. RP97-230-000 (January 16 Filing) to eliminate the shipper option to, submit written nominations for scheduling pipeline capacity except in certain emergency circumstances. FGT proposed an effective date of April 1, 1997 to coincide with FGT's implementation of the Gas Industry Standards Board's (GISB) standards on that date. FGT explained that it would not be able to meet the GISB timeline requirement of communicating scheduled volumes by 4:30 p.m. if written nominations were not received by FGT until 11:45 a.m. Subsequent to the January 16 Filing, to address certain issues raised by parties to this proceeding, FGT proposed to expand the definition of the emergency circumstances which would permit the submission of written nominations, and to institute a three month transition period during which shippers could continue to submit written nominations as long as the written nominations were received by FGT no later than 10:30 a.m. FGT states that in the March 13 Order, the Commission accepted FGT's proposed changes subject to the outcome of the proceedings in Docket No. RP97-21 (FGT's GISB Compliance Docket) and subject to the FGT submitting revised tariff sheets reflecting the three month transition period and the expanded provisions regarding the emergency circumstances under which written nominations would still be permitted. The instant filing is in compliance with the March 13 Order. 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 Rules and Regulations. All such protests should be filed on or before April 18, 1997. 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.
