Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

June 2, 2000.
    Take notice that on May 24, 2000, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth 
Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on Appendix A to the 
filing, with an effective date of June 23, 2000.
    Tennessee is requesting authority: (1) To choose to record and 
maintain reserve prices, if established, for validation purposes as 
opposed to disclosing such reserve price as part of the open season and 
(2) to allow prearranged deals with the customer with the pre-arranged 
transaction will have a right of to match any higher bid. In addition, 
Tennessee is adding language to clarify how the NPV will be calculated 
for bids that include a customer's option to terminate its contract 
early or reduce capacity separate from the primary term. Tennessee is 
also adding tariff language that allows for a pro rata distribution of 
capacity prior to the use of first-in-time as a tiebreaker or for when 
aggregated bids have the highest NPV.
    Finally, in addition to other minor tariff clean-ups, Tennessee is 
clarifying that in package bids where part of the package includes a 
change in primary points that negatively affects Tennessee's revenues, 
the value of the primary point amendment will be treated as a negative 
adjustment to the value of the package bid.
    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. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
