Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

August 4, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 31, 1998, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line 
Company (Panhandle) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
First Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on Appendix A to 
the filing, to become effective September 1, 1998.
    Panhandle states that this filing removes from its currently 
effective rates the Second Supplemental Take-or-Pay (TOP) Volumetric 
Surcharge of .04 cents per Dt. applicable to firm and interruptible 
service established in Docket No. RP97-433-000. The current volumetric 
surcharge in Section 18.4 of the General Terms and Conditions (GT&C) 
was approved by the Commission letter order issued August 29, 1997.
    Panhandle further states that this filing removes from its 
currently effective rates the $0.39 per Dt. Canadian Resolution 
Reservation Surcharge applicable to Rate Schedules FT, EFT and LFT, the 
2.44 cents per Dt. Canadian Resolution Volumetric Surcharge applicable 
to Rate Schedule SCT and the 1.75 cents per Dt. Canadian Resolution 
Volumetric Surcharge applicable to Rate Schedules IT and EIT. The 
current Canadian Resolution Surcharges in Section 18.6 of the GT&C were 
established in a October 2, 1992 Stipulation and Agreement (October 2, 
1992 Settlement) in Docket No. RP91-229-000 et al., approved by a 
Commission order issued October 30, 1992, 60 FERC para. 61,160 (1992).
    Panhandle also states that this filing removes from its currently 
effective rates the Second GSR Settlement Rate Component applicable to 
interruptible transportation service provided under Rate Schedule IT 
and EIT. The Second GSR Settlement Interruptible Rate Component was 
established in a April 18, 1996 Stipulation and Agreement in Docket No. 
RP95-411-000 (April 18, 1996 Settlement). The April 18, 1996 Settlement 
was approved by Commission order issued May 31, 1996 75 FERC para. 
61,242 (1996). In accordance with Article I, Section 3(e) of the April 
18, 1996 Settlement, the initial recovery period will terminate on 
August 31, 1998.
    Accordingly, Panhandle proposes to remove 0.04 cents from the 
8.48 cents GSR Rate Component applicable to Rate Schedules IT and EIT 
to reduce the GSR Rate Component to 8.44 cents.
    Panhandle states that copies of this filing are being served on all 
affected customers and applicable state regulatory agencies.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should
