[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 167 (Monday, August 30, 1999)] [Notices] [Page 47185] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-22416] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. RP99-472-000] Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of filing August 23, 1999. Take notice that on August 18, 1999, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation tendered for filing certain revised tariff sheets to its FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, which tariff sheets are enumerated in Appendix A attached thereto. The proposed effective date of the revised tariff sheets is October 1, 1999. Transco states that the purpose of the instant filing is to revise Transco's tariff to update the negotiated rate authority contained therein to reflect developments in Commission policy relating to negotiated rates. Transco initially filed tariff sheets in Docket No. RP96-359 to establish the flexibility under its tariff to negotiate rates in accordance with the Commission's Statement of Policy on Alternatives to Traditional Cost-of-Service Ratemaking for Natural Gas Pipelines in Docket No. RM95-6-000, which tariff sheets were approved by the Commission. Since that filing, the Commission has further refined its negotiated rate policy in numerous individual pipeline proceedings. Transco proposes herein to revise its tariff to reflect, among other things, those refinements in order to provide to Transco and its shippers the full range of flexibility to negotiate rates for service consistent with Commission policy. 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.
