Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Tariff Filing

August 16, 1999
    Take notice that on August 11, 1999, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), tendered for filing and Commission approval: (1) a Gas 
Transportation Agreement between Tennessee and Pemex Gas y Petroquimica 
Basica (PGPB Service Agreement), and (2) Fifth Revised Sheet No. 413 of 
Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1. Tennessee 
requests an effective date of September 1, 1999.
    Tennessee states the PGPB Service Agreement is being filed as a 
non-conforming service agreement. In addition, Tennessee states the 
tariff sheet references the PGPB Service Agreement as a non-conforming 
service agreement.
    On October 20, 1998, in Docket No. CP99-28-000, Tennessee filed 
pursuant to Section 3 of the NGA and Subparts B and C of Part 153 of 
the Commission's Regulations for: (i) an order authorizing the siting, 
construction, operation, and maintenance of pipeline facilities and the 
place of entry and exit for import and export of natural gas at the 
International boundary between the United States and Mexico in Hidalgo 
County, Texas; and (ii) a Presidential Permit for the construction, 
operation, maintenance, and connection of such facilities. In addition, 
on October 20, 1998 in Docket No. CP99-29-000, Tennessee filed a 
request under the Commission's blanket authorization prior notice 
procedures in order to obtain Commission authorization to construct and 
operate a new delivery point and related facilities to permit delivery 
of up to 185,000 Dth per day of natural gas to PGPB near the 
International boundary between the United States and Mexico. In 
connection with this project, on September 30, 1998, Tennessee and PGPB 
executed the PGPB Service Agreement for use under Tennessee's Rate 
Schedule FT-A for transportation of up to 185,000 Dth per day for PGPB 
upon completion and in-service of the facilities.
    Tennessee states that it is filing the PGPB Service Agreement for 
Commission approval as a non-conforming service agreement pursuant to 
Section 154.1(d) of the Commission's regulations because the PGPB 
Service Agreement contains provisions which may ``deviate in [a] 
material aspect'' from Tennessee's pro forma FT-A Agreement.
    Tennessee states that copies of the filing have been mailed to all 
of Tennessee's customers and affected state regulatory commissions.
    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. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
