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

January 27, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 22, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, effective February 1, 1998, the 
following tariff sheets:

Twenty-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 8A
Sixteenth Revised Sheet No. 8A.01
Seventeenth Revised Sheet No. 8A.02
Twenty-Second Revised Sheet No. 8B
Fifteenth Revised Sheet No. 8B.01

    FGT states that in Docket No. TM98-2-34-001 filed on September 9, 
1997 and approved by Commission order dated September 26, 1997, FGT 
filed to establish a Base Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage (Base 
FRCP) of 3.05% to become effective October 1, 1997. In the instant 
filing, FGT is filing a flex adjustment of <0.30<% to be effective 
February 1, 1998, which, when combined with the Base FRCP of 3.05%, 
results in an Effective Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage of 2.75%.
    FGT states that the tariff sheets listed above are being filed 
pursuant to Section 27.A.2.b of the General Terms and Conditions 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 
become effective without prior FERC approval provided that such flex 
adjustment does not exceed 0.50%, is effective at the beginning of a 
month, is posted on FGT's EBB at least five working days prior to the 
nomination deadline, and is filed no more than sixty and at least seven 
days before the proposed effective date. The instant filing comports 
with these provisions and FGT has posted notice of the flex adjustment 
prior to the instant filing.
    FGT states that it has experienced an overretention of fuel for the 
three months ended December 31, 1997, the period during which the Base 
FRCP of 3.05% has been in effect. This trend toward overrecovery 
appears to be continuing during the month of January, 1998. 
Consequently, to minimize the operational problems experienced as a 
result of this overrecovery of fuel, and to minimize the balance of the 
deferred fuel account to be resolved in a subsequent period, FGT is 
decreasing the Effective Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage to 2.75%.
    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, DC 20426 in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests should 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
