Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Tariff Filing

February 20, 1998.
    Take notice that on February 13, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1, Fifth Revised Sheet No. 405A, with 
an effective date of March 15, 1998.
    Tennessee states that Fifth Revised Sheet No. 405A proposes a 
minimum bid period of 3 business days for service offerings with terms 
of more than 92 days but not greater than 365 days. Service offerings 
with terms greater than 365 days will retain the current minimum bid 
period of 5 business days.
    Tennessee further states that this proposal is supported by its 
past experience that shippers seeking primary point amendments in long-
term capacity open seasons found the 5 day bid period too long to wait 
to find out if they are awarded the primary point amendments. In 
addition, Tennessee's current proposal captures the Commission's policy 
as stated in Columbia Gulf Transmission Company, 80 FERC para. 61,021 
(1997).
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this 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 as 
provided in 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 
this 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 available for public inspection in the Public Reference 
Room.

Acting Secretary.
