Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of Proposed 
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

March 7, 2002.
    Take notice that on March 1, 2002 Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 
Corporation (Transco) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, certain revised tariff sheets which 
sheets are enumerated in Appendix A to the filing, with an effective 
date of April 1, 2002.
    Transco states that the instant filing is submitted pursuant to 
Section 38 of the General Terms and Conditions of Transco's FERC Gas 
Tariff which provides that Transco will file, to be effective each 
April 1, a redetermination of its fuel retention percentages applicable 
to transportation and storage rate schedules. The derivations of the 
revised fuel retention percentages included therein are based on 
Transco's estimate of gas required for operations (GRO) for the 
forthcoming annual period April 2002 through March 2003 plus the 
balance accumulated in the Deferred GRO Account at January 31, 2002. 
Appendix B attached to the filing contains workpapers supporting the 
derivation of the revised fuel retention percentages.
    An alternate tariff sheet has also been tendered for filing which 
reflects a change in the method used to derive the fuel retention 
factor applicable to Rate Schedules ISS, WSS, WSS-Open Access and WSS-
Open Access-R. This approach reduces the fuel retention percentage 
applicable to Rate Schedules WSS, WSS-Open Access and WSS-Open Access-R 
by .72% and results in a fuel retention percentage of .64% for the 
forthcoming annual period under Rate Schedules ISS, WSS, WSS-Open 
Access and WSS-Open Access-R. Appendix B-1 attached to the filing 
contains workpapers supporting the derivation of the revised fuel 
retention factor contained therein.
    Transco states that copies of the filing are being mailed to its 
affected customers and 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. This filing may 
also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' 
link, select ``Docket#'' and follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 
for assistance). Comments, protests and interventions may be filed 
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site 
under the ``e-Filing'' link.
