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

August 13, 1997.
    Take notice that on August 7, 1997, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheet to become effective 
April 1, 1997:

Sixth Revised Sheet No. 126

    FGT states that in the instant filing, Sixth Revised Sheet No. 126 
is being filed to incorporate tariff changes which have been previously 
accepted by the Commission but which, because of an inadvertent failure 
by FGT to make the conforming changes in a subsequent filing, are not 
reflected in the currently effective tariff sheet.
    FGT states that on August 30, 1996, in Docket No. RP96-366-000, FGT 
filed a Section 4 rate case (Rate Case Filing) in which it submitted 
revised tariff sheets including Third Revised Sheet No. 126 superseding 
Substitute Second Revised Sheet No. 126. By order issued September 30, 
1996 the Commission accepted the revised tariff sheets for filing and 
suspended them to become effective March 1, 1997. The order also 
established a technical conference to address certain of the tariff 
changes.
    FGT states that on October 1, 1996, FGT submitted pro forma tariff 
changes in Docket No. RP97-21-000 to implement the business standards 
issued by the Gas Industry Standards Board (GISB) in compliance with 
Order No. 587 issued July 17, 1996 in Docket No. RM96-1-000. Among the 
pro forma tariff sheets submitted was Fourth Revised Sheet No. 126 
which was redlined from Third Revised Sheet No. 126 included in the 
Rate Case Filing.
    FGT states that subsequently, on December 10, 1996, FGT filed a 
Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (December 10 Settlement) in 
Docket No. RP96-366 in resolution of certain operating issues addressed 
in the Rate Case Filing which were set for a technical conference by 
the Commission. The December 10 Settlement included the withdrawal of 
certain provisions proposed in the Rate Case Filing as well as 
modifications to other provisions and the refiling of affected tariff 
sheets. Substitute Third Revised Sheet No. 126 proposed to become 
effective March 1, 1997, was included among the tariff sheets filed 
with the December 10 Settlement, along with Fourth Revised Sheet No. 
126 which was proposed to become effective April 1, 1997. The December 
10 Settlement was approved by Commission order dated January 16, 1997.
    FGT states that on February 28, 1997, in Docket No. RP97-21-002, 
FGT filed revised tariff sheets to implement the GISB standards which 
were previously filed and approved by the Commission on a pro forma 
basis. The tariff sheets were accepted to become effective April 1, 
1997 by Letter Order dated March 21, 1997. Among the tariff sheets 
accepted was Fifth Revised Sheet No. 126. However, rather than 
incorporate the GISB changes into Fourth Revised Sheet No. 126, which 
was filed and approved in the December 10, Settlement, the changes were 
inadvertently made to Third Revised Sheet No. 126 included in the Rate 
Case Filing but subsequently withdrawn in the December 10 Settlement.
    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, N.E., Washington, D.C., 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 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.

Acting Secretary.
