[Docket No. RP97-71-020]


Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Compliance 
Filing

April 12, 2000.
    Take notice that on April 6, 2000 Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing recalculated rates, 
supporting workpapers and pro forma tariff sheets pursuant to Ordering 
Paragraph (B) of the Commission's Order on Initial Decision issued on 
March 17, 2000 (March 17 Order) in Docket No. RP97-71-000.
    Transco states that the purpose of the instant compliance filing is 
to submit recalculated rates and supporting workpapers to adjust the 
Docket No. RP97-71 rates using the return on equity of 12.40 percent 
and cost of debt of 8.21 percent approved in the March 17 Order. The 
period covered by the recalculated rates reflected in the instant 
filing extends from May 1, 1997 through March 31, 2000.
    The March 17 Order also directs Transco to file pro forma tariff 
sheets reflecting on a prospective basis the elimination of the revenue 
credit related to a discount given to Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
and Public Service Electric and Gas Company under Transco's Rate 
Schedule X-15 and reflecting the approved rate of return. Accordingly, 
Transco submits in the instant filing pro forma tariff sheets 
containing revised rates that reflect, on a prospective basis, the 
removal of the effects of the Rate Schedule X-15 rate discount from 
Transco's billing determinants in its rate design volumes, as well as 
the rate of return approved in the March 17 Order, and supporting 
workpapers for such rates.
    Transco states that copies of the filing are being mailed to all 
parties in Docket No. RP97-71-000 and interested State Commissions.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Sec. 385.211 of the 
Commission's rules and regulations. All such protests must be filed on 
or before April 19, 2000. 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. 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 reviewed on the web at
