Trunkline Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas 
Tariff

January 4, 1999.
    Take notice that on December 23, 1998, Trunkline Gas Company 
(Trunkline) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First 
Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on Appendix A attached 
to the filing, to be effective January 23, 1999.
    Trunkline states that the purpose of this filing, made in 
accordance with the provisions of Section 154.204 of the Commission's 
Regulations, is to: (1) reduce the notice period from 15 days to 5 
business days for firm shippers to request changes in their primary 
points of receipt and delivery; and (2) make other housekeeping changes 
to reflect clarifications or correct inadvertent omissions. Based on 
shipper requests and Trunkline's improved administrative process, 
Trunkline is able to reduce the processing time for firm shippers to 
request changes in primary points of receipt and delivery. Shippers 
will be allowed to request such changes twice in any thirty day period 
giving them additional flexibility to manage their needs.
    Trunkline further states that housekeeping changes are required to 
clarify the language in the billing section of several Trunkline rate 
schedules. Trunkline is not changing its current billing procedures for 
these rate schedules. The revised tariff sheets clarify the usage 
charge under Rate Schedule SST applies only up to shipper's Maximum 
Daily Quantity (MDQ), or Maximum Daily Receipt Obligation (MDRO) for 
gathering, (thereafter the overrun rate applies in accordance with the 
current tariff language) and that gathering overrun charges apply to 
quantities in excess of shipper's MDRO at points of receipt designated 
as gathering under Rate Schedules FT, SST, EFT, QNT and LFT. Other 
housekeeping changes are required to: (1) update the point of origin of 
Trunkline's pipeline system on the preliminary statement; (2) modify 
the definition of eligible points of delivery in Section 2.5 of Rate 
Schedule NNS-2 to be consistent with the change in the applicability of 
Rate Schedule NNS-2. Pursuant to Commission authorization dated March 
3, 1995 in Docket No. RP95-151-000, service under this rate schedule is 
no longer restricted to the historical sales customers under 
Trunkline's former tariff.
    Trunkline states that a copy of this filing is available for public 
inspection during regular business hours at Trunkline's office at 5400 
Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056-5310. In addition, 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 said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 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.
