sheets, listed on Appendix A attached to the filing, to TLNG's FERC Gas

    Trunkline and TLNG further state that on March 29, 1999, Panhandle 
Eastern Pipe Line Company (Panhandle) and its principal consolidated 
subsidiaries, Trunkline and Pan Gas Storage Company, as well as 
Panhandle's affiliates, TLNG and Panhandle Storage Company, were

Energy Corporation of TLNG requires the implementation of Article VIII 
of the referenced Settlement. Specifically, Article VIII requires TLNG,
