Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation; Notice of Compliance 
Filing

August 5, 1997.
    Take notice that on August 1, 1997, Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation (Texas Eastern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Sixth Revised Volume No. 1 and Original Volume No. 2, revised 
tariff sheets listed on Appendix A to the filing with a proposed 
effective date of September 1, 1997.
    Texas Eastern asserts that the purpose of this filing is to comply 
with the Stipulation and Agreement (S&A) approved by the Commission in 
Docket Nos. RP90-119 et al., in order to remove costs associated with 
the merger between Panhandle Eastern Corporation and Texas Eastern and 
as a result reduce Texas Eastern's system rates by approximately $4.7 
million annually. Texas Eastern states that Article I, Section 4 of the 
S&A provides that at the time of the termination of the collection 
period for the consolidation costs associated with the merger between 
Panhandle Eastern Corporation and Texas Eastern (Consolidation Costs), 
Texas Eastern will make an appropriate compliance filing to remove the 
Consolidation Costs from its rates. Texas Eastern also states that 
Article I, Section 4 of the S&A provides that the compliance filing 
removing the Consolidation Costs will not constitute a new Section 4 
filing, will not be subject to suspension and will be subject to review 
on the sole question of whether it accurately implements Article I, 
Section 4 of the S&A.
    Texas Eastern states that copies of this filing were served on firm 
customers of Texas Eastern, interested state commissions, current 
interruptible customers and all parties to the S&A.
    Any person desiring to protect this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,

Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as 
provided in Sec. 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. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and
