[Docket No. RP01-105-000]


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

November 21, 2000.
    Take notice that on November 14, 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, 
effective December 1, 2000:

Forty-Fourth Revised Sheet No. 8A
Thirty-Sixth Revised Sheet No. 8A.01
Thirty-Sixth Revised Sheet No. 8A.02
Fortieth Revised Sheet No. 8B
Thirty-Third Revised Sheet No. 8B.01

    FGT states that on August 31, 2000, FGT filed in Docket No. RP00-
519-000 to establish a Base Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage (Base 
FRCP) of 3.14% to become effective for the six-month Winter Period 
beginning October 1, 2000 reflecting FGT's actual fuel usage and 
unaccounted for gas during the immediately preceding Winter Period. 
Subsequently, on November 7, 2000, FGT filed in Docket No. RP01-82-000 
to reduce the Base FRCP from 3.14% to 2.50%, effective December 1, 
2000. The November 7, 2000 filing is pending before the Commission. In 
the instant filing, FGT is filing a flex adjustment of (0.25)% to be 
effective December 1, 2000, which, when combined with the proposed Base 
FRCP of 2.50%, results in an Effective Fuel Reimbursement Charge 
Percentage of 2.25%. FGT is filing this flex adjustment to reflect the 
lower fuel usage currently being experienced on its system.
    Also, FGT states that the tariff sheets listed above are being 
filed pursuant to Section 27.A.2.b of the General Terms and Conditions 
of FGT's Tariff, which provides for flex adjustments to the Base FRCP. 
Pursuant to the terms of Section 27.A.2.b, a flex adjustment shall 
become effective without prior FERC approval provided that such flex 
adjustment does not exceed 0.50%, is effective at the beginning of a 
month, is posted on FGT's EBB at least five working days prior to the 
nomination deadline, and is filed no more than sixty and at least seven 
days before the proposed effective date. The instant filing comports 
with these provisions and FGT has posted notice of the flex adjustment 
concurrently with the instant filing.
    FGT states that copies of the filing were mailed to all customers 
served under the rate schedules affected by this filing and the 
interested state 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, 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).
