Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

May 4, 2000.
    Take notice that on May 1, 2000, Florida Gas Transmission Company 
(FGT) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, with an effective 
March 27, 2000.

Fourth Revised Sheet No. 164
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 165
Second Revised Sheet No. 168A
Seventh Revised Sheet No. 169
First Revised Sheet No. 185

    FGT states that on February 9, 2000, the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission) issued its final rule regarding the regulation 
of short-term interstate natural gas transportation services in Docket 
Nos. RM 98-10-000 and RM98-12-000 (Order No. 637). In the instant 
filing, FGT is filing to implement provisions of Order No. 637 
regarding the waiver of the rate ceiling for short-term capacity 
release transactions and the prospective limitations on the 
availability of the Right-of-First Refusal (``ROFR'').
    FGT states that Order No. 637 provides for a waiver of the rate 
ceiling for short-term (less than one year) capacity release 
transactions until September 30, 2002 and requires pipelines to file 
tariff revisions within 180 days of the effective date of the rule, 
i.e., March 27, 2000, to remove tariff provisions which are 
inconsistent with the removal of the rate ceiling. Accordingly, FGT is 
filing revised tariff sheets as required. Unless extended by Commission 
action the tariff provisions removing the price cap submitted herein 
shall not be effective after September 30, 2002, and FGT shall file 
revised tariff sheets as required.
    FGT also states that it is filing revised tariff sheets 
implementing portions of Order No. 637 which provide that the Right-of-
Refusal be applicable only to contracts at the maximum tariff rate 
having a term of twelve consecutive months or longer of service.
    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 Section s 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's

[[Page 30100]]

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://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
