[Docket No. RP97-230-001]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Compliance Filing

April 1, 1997.
    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.
