Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Negotiated Rate

September 28, 2001.
    Take notice that on September 14, 2001, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee), 9 E Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas 77046, tendered 
for filing a Negotiated Rate Arrangement with AES Londonderry L.L.C. 
(AES) and an original and five (5) copies of Revised Tariff Sheet No. 
413A for inclusion in Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume 
No. 1. Tennessee requests that the Commission approve the Negotiated 
Rate Arrangement and filed tariff sheet to become effective October 1, 
2001.
    Tennessee states that in orders issued on August 1, 2000 and 
October 27, 2000 in Tennessee Docket No. CP00-48-000, the Commission 
approved Tennessee's

Negotiated Rate Arrangement with AES. In accordance with those 
Commission Orders, Tennessee is filing the negotiated rate arrangement. 
Tennessee is also submitting the referenced tariff sheet to list the 
FT-A Service agreement between it and AES as a non-conforming agreement 
as it contains a provision found previously by the Commission to 
``materially deviate'' from Tennessee's pro forma FT-A Service 
Agreement.
    Tennessee also requests that the Commission make a determination 
whether the Agency Authorization Agreement between Tennessee, AES and 
ABN AMRO Bank N.V., (Agency Agreement) constitutes a non-conforming 
service agreement. Tennessee states that the Agreement contains a 
provision for which Tennessee seeks a determination because it varies 
from the corresponding provisions in Tennessee's Pro Forma Agency 
Agreement. Section 4 of the Agency Agreement provides that the term of 
the agreement shall commence upon an event of default by AES as that 
term is defined in a separate agreement between AES and its lender. It 
also subjects AES' right to terminate the Agency Agreement to the 
lender's consent. Tennessee states that it does not consider the Agency 
Agreement to be non-conforming. Tennessee further states that in the 
event the Commission determines that the Agency Agreement ``deviates in 
any material aspect'' from Tennessee's Pro Forma Agency Agreement, 
Tennessee will, in a compliance filing, revise its FERC Gas Tariff to 
identify the Agency Authorization Agreement as a non-conforming service 
agreement.
    Tennessee states that copies of the filing have been mailed to all 
affected customers and state regulatory 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. This filing may 
also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS''
