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

September 28, 1998
    Take notice that on September 23, 1998, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, 
effective October 23, 1998:

Second Revised Sheet No. 114
Third Revised Sheet No. 115
Third Revised Sheet No. 166
Sixth Revised Sheet No. 169
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 174A
Original Sheet No. 174B

    FGT states that in the instant filing, FGT is proposing revisions 
to the provisions currently contained in Section 9 of the General Terms 
& Conditions (GT&C) of FGT's Tariff regarding electronic communications 
of certain transactional and non-transactional data. Specifically, FGT 
proposes that the electronic communication provisions that are 
transactional in nature and related to capacity release be included in 
the capacity relinquishment provisions of Section 18 of the GT&C of 
FGT's Tariff in a new Section 18.L, ``Capacity Release--Transactional 
Electronic Communications.'' Such electronic communications of capacity 
release data will continue to be made available through FGT's 
Electronic Bulletin Board (EBB), which now can be accessed through the 
Internet's World Wide Web (Web) in addition to the proprietary phone 
connections currently maintained by FGT. FGT states that the access to 
the EBB through the proprietary phone connections will continue only 
for an interim period, probably until January 1, 1999, at which time 
these phone lines will be discontinued.
    FGT states that it believes that access via the Web will be more 
efficient and cost effective for FGT and users. Additionally, FGT 
states that Section 9 of the GT&C is renamed ``Electronic 
Communications of Non-Transactional Data'' because the remaining 
provisions of Section 9 relate to non-transactional data such as 
notices. This non-transactional Electronic Communications Mechanism 
section specifies information to be posted by FGT, and the mechanism 
would be accessible via the Web. Such information posted by FGT would 
include, but not be limited to, all non-transactional information 
currently provided for in Section 9.
    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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
