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

September 3, 1998.
    Take notice that on August 31, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, effective October 1, 1998, the 
following tariff sheets:

Twenty-Ninth Revised Sheet No. 8A
Twentieth Revised Sheet No. 8A.01
Twenty-First Revised Sheet No. 8A.02
Twenty-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 8B
Eighteenth Revised Sheet No. 8B.01

    FGT states that Section 27 of the General Terms and Conditions 
(GTC) of its Tariff providers for the recovery by FGT of gas used in 
the operation of its system and gas lost from the system or otherwise 
unaccounted for. The fuel reimbursement charges pursuant to Section 27 
consist of the Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage (FRCP), designed to 
recovery current fuel usage on an in-kind basis, and the Unit Fuel 
Surcharge (UFS), designed to recover or refund previous under or 
overcollections on a cash basis. Both the FRCP and the UFS are 
applicable to Market Area deliveries and are effective for seasonal 
periods, changing effective each April 1 (for the Summer Period) and 
each October 1 (for the Winter Period).
    FGT states that its is proposing to establish an FRCP of 2.84% to 
become effective October 1, 1998. Pursuant to the terms of Section 27.B 
of the GTC, FGT may file for adjustments to actual fuel usage and lost 
and unaccounted for gas or deliveries when computing its FRCP. FGT 
believes that the percentage of deliveries of 2.38% experienced from 
October, 1997 through March, 1998, the period which is the basis for 
the calculation of the FRCP to become effective October 1, 1998, should 
be adjusted to recognize that this is the lowest percentage of 
deliveries FGT has experienced for the past five Winter Periods. Only 
one other Winter Period percentage was below 3.00% for the previous 
five Winter Periods. Accordingly, FGT has adjusted the actual 
percentage of deliveries of 2.38% to reflect FGT's historical weighted 
average percentage of deliveries for the previous five Winter Periods 
of 2.84%.
    FGT further states that it is filing to establish a Winter Period 
UFS of <$0.0118> per MMBtu to become effective October 1, 1998.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.214 or 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 proceedings. 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.
