Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Tariff Filing

November 3, 1998.
    Take notice that on October 29, 1998, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), filed the following: (1) a Blanket Authorization 
Agreement among Tennessee, Boston Gas Company (``Boston Gas'') and 
Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corporation (``Enron''); (2) a Blanket 
Authorization Agreement among Tennessee, Boston Gas and El Paso Energy 
Marketing Company (``El Paso Marketing''); (3) a Blanket Authorization 
Agreement among Tennessee, Essex County Gas Company (``Essex'') and 
Enron; (4) a Blanket Authorization Agreement among Tennessee, Essex and 
El Paso Marketing; (5) First Revised Sheet No. 413 of Tennessee's FERC 
Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1 (``Volume No. 1 Tariff''); and 
(6) Alternate First Revised Sheet No. 413 of Tennessee's Volume No. 1 
Tariff.
    Tennessee states that the four Blanket Authorization Agreements are 
being submitted for Commission approval because the Blanket 
Authorization Agreements contain language which differs from Pro Forma 
Blanket Authorization Agreement contained in Tennessee's Volume No. 1 
Tariff. Tennessee further states that, pursuant to Section 154.112(b) 
of the Commission's regulations, it is submitting First Revised Sheet 
No. 413 with an effective date of December 1, 1998. However, Boston Gas 
and Essex strongly desire that they be able to effectuate the terms of 
the four Blanket Authorization Agreements by November 1, 1998. 
Therefore, at their behest, Tennessee is also submitting with this 
filing Alternate First Revised Sheet No. 413 with an effective date of 
November 1, 1998 in the event that the Commission approves these 
customers' deemed request for a waiver of the 30-day notice requirement 
of the Commission's regulations.
    Tennessee submits that the four Blanket Authorization Agreements 
contain provisions which differ from the Pro Forma Blanket 
Authorization Agreement in several respects. First, the Blanket 
Authorization Agreements allow Boston Gas and Essex (the ``Contract 
Holders''), to delegate agency authority to both Enron and El Paso 
Marketing (the ``Blanket Agents''), rather than to a single agent. 
Second, the Blanket Authorization Agreements allow the Contract Holders 
to delegate only some of the Contract Holders' service agreements on 
the Tennessee's system and for specified contract quantities for each 
agreement. Third, the term provisions of the Blanket Authorization 
Agreements have been modified to reflect an automatic termination of 
the Blanket Authorization Agreements on March 31, 1999. Finally, the 
term provision of the Blanket Authorization Agreements has also been 
modified to allow any Party to terminate the Blanket Authorization

[[Page 60321]]

Agreements upon twenty-four hours written notice to the other parties, 
such termination to be effective upon receipt of the termination 
notice.
    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 on or 
before November 10, 1998. 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.
