[Docket No. CP01-8-001]


Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Amendment

October 29, 2001.
    Take notice that on October 19, 2001, Texas Eastern Transmission, 
LP (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, 
Texas 77251-1642, filed an amendment to its pending application in 
Docket No. CP01-8-000, requesting authority for a firm hourly swing 
service (Firm Hourly Service) all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing may be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Specifically, Texas Eastern seeks authorization to offer a Firm 
Hourly Service that will provide hourly flexibility of up to 110 
percent of 1/24th of daily scheduled quantities for up to six hours on 
any day for customers who receive service under Rate Schedules CDS, FT-
1, SCT, and SS-1 at primary

firm delivery points. The service will be offered on a seasonal basis: 
November to March (winter service) or April to October (summer 
service). The rate for Firm Hourly Service will be an incremental rate 
based on the cost of the lease proposed in Docket No. CP01-8-000 plus 
the cost of purchasing gas at Beverly, Massachusetts, the primary 
receipt point under the lease. This incremental rate is in lieu of 
Texas Eastern's original proposal to rely on a reduction in storage 
cost credits to cover the lease costs. Texas Eastern has included Pro 
Forma Tariff Sheet Nos. 651-653. These sheets replace Pro Forma Tariff 
Sheet No. 685 which was filed in the original application. Texas 
Eastern states that these tariff sheets set out the proposed 
incremental rates and the terms and conditions of the Firm Hourly 
Service. As proposed in the original filing in Docket No. CP01-8-000, 
Texas Eastern states that its customers will have the right to 
transport gas on an interruptible basis using the leased capacity to 
the extent the lease is not being utilized for Firm Hourly Service.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to 
Steven E. Tillman, Director of Regulatory Affairs, Texas Eastern 
Transmission Corporation, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642 at 
713-627-5113.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before November 19, 2001, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 
NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or protest in 
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214) and the regulations under 
the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be 
considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but 
will not serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any 
person wishing to become a party in any proceeding must file a motion 
to intervene in accordance with the Commission's rules.
    A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service 
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents issued by the Commission, filed by the 
applicant, or filed by all other intervenors. An intervenor can file 
for rehearing of any Commission order and can petition for court review 
of any such order. However, an intervenor must serve copies of comments 
or any other filing it makes with the Commission to every other 
intervenor in the proceeding, as well as filing an original and 14 
copies with the Commission.
    A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of such 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents, and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission, and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a Federal court.
    The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally, 
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Commission by 
sections 7 and 15 of the NGA and the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure, a hearing will be held without further notice before the 
Commission or its designee on this application if no motion to 
intervene is filed within the time required herein, if the Commission 
on its own review of the matter finds that the proposal is required by 
the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to 
intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion 
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such 
hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure provide for, unless otherwise advised, it will 
be unnecessary for Texas Eastern to appear or to be represented at the 
hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
