[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 38 (Thursday, February 26, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 9787] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-4907] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. RP98-136-000] 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. David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. 98-4907 Filed 2-25-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-M
