Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Compliance Filing

July 19, 2001.
    Take notice that on July 12, 2001, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Seventh 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, to become effective 
October 1, 2001:

Substitute First Revised Sheet No. 101A
2nd Substitute Original Sheet No. 101B
2nd Substitute 1st Revised Sheet No. 102
2nd Substitute Original Sheet No. 102A
Substitute Third Revised Sheet No. 116

    Southern states that the purpose of the filing is to comply with 
the Commission's order dated July 2, 2001 in the above-referenced 
docket. Such order required Southern to make a compliance filing (i) to 
eliminate Southern's ability to award requests as they come in and to 
require Southern to award available firm capacity under an open season 
process; (ii) to specify the number of days that Southern will take to 
evaluate bids made in an open season; and (iii) to clarify that any 
pending Primary Receipt Point amendments will be awarded first on a 
first-come, first-served basis before any awards of Receipt Point 
capacity may be awarded for the applicable Receipt Point in an open 
season. Southern has stated that it will award the winning bidder 
within 14 business days of the close of the open season.
    Southern has also clarified that it must have an open season if it 
receives in writing any requests for available firm capacity, unless 
the request is for capacity that has already been offered in an open 
season and the request is lower than the reserve price established in 
the open season. In addition, Southern has stated that it will post 
available firm capacity under Section 284.13(d) as it becomes 
available.
    Southern has requested that these sheets be made effective as of 
October 1, 2000 consistent with the Commission's July 2nd Order.
    Southern states that copies of the filing will be served upon its 
shippers 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 Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such 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. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection. This filing may 
also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS''
