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

February 20, 1998.
    Take notice that on February 13, 1998, 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 
April 1, 1998.
    Texas Eastern states that these revised tariff sheets are being 
filed to revise on an interim basis Texas Eastern's ASA percentages and 
Spot Fuel Components to be effective for the period, April 1, 1998 
through November 30, 1998. Texas Eastern states that interim revisions 
to Texas Eastern's ASA percentages are permitted by Section 15.6(E), of 
the General Terms and Conditions of Texas Eastern's FERC Gas Tariff, 
Sixth Revised Volume No. 1, subject to Commission approval.
    Texas Eastern requests that the Commission approve this proposed 
interim revision to the ASA percentages and the Spot Fuel Components 
which are prescribed by the Global Settlement Docket No. RP85-177-119, 
et al. to be filed as a compenent of Texas Eastern's annual ASA filings 
under Section 15.6 of the tariff.
    Texas Eastern states that the increase in ASA percentages is 
necessary because of the termination of the supply of gas for use as 
fuel from Marathon Oil Company due to an agreement on a buyout of Texas 
Eastern's obligations under a gas supply contract. Texas Eastern states 
that there is no net economic impact on the customers, since the 
increase to the ASA percentages projected herein is exactly offset by 
the decrease in rates.
    Texas Eastern states that the impact on Texas Eastern's ASA 
percentages and rates of this interim filing based on typical long haul 
service from the Access Area Zone East Louisiana to Market Zone 3 (ELA-
M3) is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                          ASA                           
                                      percentage    Spot fuel component 
                                       increase           decrease      
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ELA-M3 Impact......................         0.66   $(0.0168)/dth

    Texas Eastern states that copies of its filing has been mailed to 
all affected customers of Texas Eastern and interested state 
commissions, as well as all parties to the Global Settlement in Docket 
No. RP85-177-119, et al.
    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, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 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.
