Texas Eastern Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

January 6, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 31, 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 to become effective 
February 1, 1998.
    Texas Eastern states that these revised tariff sheets are filed 
pursuant to Section 15.1, Electric Power Cost (EPC) Adjustment, of the 
General Terms and Conditions of Texas Eastern's FERC Gas Tariff, Sixth 
Revised Volume No. 1. Texas Eastern states that Section 15.1 provides 
that Texas Eastern shall file to be effective each February 1 revised 
rates for each applicable zone and rate schedule based upon the 
projected annual electric power costs required for the operation of 
transmission compressor stations with electric motor prime movers and 
to also reflect the EPC Surcharge which is designed to clear the 
balance in the Deferred EPC Account.
    Texas Eastern states that these revised tariff sheets are being 
filed to reflect a small decrease in Texas Eastern's EPC Adjustment 
effective February 1, 1998. Texas Eastern states that it has utilized 
its latest actual twelve months of electric power costs and its latest 
actual twelve months service quantities as its projections for the 
future period. Texas Eastern states that the rate changes proposed to 
the primary firm capacity reservation charges, usage rates and 100% 
load factor average costs for full Access Area Boundary service from 
the Access Area Zone, East Louisiana, to the three market area zones 
are as follows:
