[Docket No. TM97-4-34-000]


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

April 22, 1997.
    Take notice that on April 16, 1997, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, effective May 1, 1997, the 
following tariff sheets:

Twenty-First Revised Sheet No. 8A
Thirteenth Revised Sheet No. 8A.01
Thirteenth Revised Sheet No. 8A.02
Nineteenth Revised Sheet No. 8B
Twelfth Revised Sheet No. 8B.01

    FGT states that in Docket No. TM97-3-34-000 filed on February 28, 
1997 and approved by Commission order dated March 24, 1997, FGT filed 
to establish a Base Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage (Base FRCP) of 
2.85% to become effective April 1, 1997. In the instant filing, FGT is 
filing a flex adjustment of 0.50% to be effective May 1, 1997, which, 
when combined with the Base FRCP of 2.85%, results in an Effective Fuel 
Reimbursement Charge Percentage of 3.35%.
    FGT states that the tariff sheets listed above are being filed 
pursuant to Section 27.A.2.b of the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) 
of FGT's Tariff, which provides for flex adjustments to the Base FRCP. 
Pursuant to the terms of Section 27.A.2.b, a flex adjustment shall

[[Page 22921]]

become effective without prior FERC approval provided that such flex 
adjustment may not exceed 0.50%, is effective at the beginning of a 
month, is posted on FGT's EBB at least five days prior to the 
nomination deadline, and is filed no more than sixty and at least seven 
days before the proposed effective date.
    FGT states that the instant filing comports with these provisions 
and FGT is posting notice of the flex adjustment on its EBB concurrent 
with the instant filing.
    FGT states that since April 1, 1997 when the Base FRCP of 2.85% 
became effective, FGT has been experiencing increased throughput on its 
system and higher compressor fuel usage than is being recovered through 
the Base FRCP. Consequently, to minimize the operational problems 
experienced as a result of this underrecovery of fuel, and to minimize 
the balance of the deferred fuel account to be resolved in a subsequent 
period, FGT is increasing the Effective Fuel Reimbursement Charge 
Percentage to 3.35%.
    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 must be filed in 
accordance with Section 154.210 of the Commission's. 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.

Secretary.
