Southern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes to FERC 
Gas Tariff

May 31, 2002.
    Take notice that on May 13, 2002, Southern Natural Gas Company 
(Southern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Seventh 
Revised Volume No. 1, the revised tariff sheets listed on Appendix A to 
the filing.
    Southern states that the filing is being made in compliance with 
the Commission's Order on Southern's Order No. 637 Settlement dated 
April 11, 2002, to become effective July 1, 2002. Those sheets that 
remain designated as pro forma sheets will require additional 
programming and testing time such that the system will not be in place 
to accommodate those enhancements until December 1, 2002. Southern will 
plan to make a filing to place those sheets into effect based on the 
terms of the order it receives herein.
    On April 11, 2002, the Commission issued an order on Southern's 
July 2, 2001 Settlement proposal to comply with the terms of Order No. 
637. Such order modified the terms of the Settlement such that the 
parties withdrew from the Settlement and the Settlement dissolved under 
its own terms. Based on the terms of the Order, Southern submits the 
following tariff revisions to comply with the terms of the Order: (1) 
Implementation of the capacity release timetables for biddable and 
nonbiddable releases consistent with Version 1.5 of the NAESB 
Standards; (2) changes to the segmentation in reticulated areas; (3) 
implementation of expanded flexible receipt point rights for capacity 
release transactions; (4) addition of a within the path priority for 
Exhibit A-1 receipt point nominations and implementation of within the 
path Exhibit B-1 delivery point priorities; (5) implementation of 
procedures to approve shifting a discount to an alternate receipt or 
delivery point where that discount has been contracted for on a point 
specific basis; (6) implementation of revised OFO procedures as 
approved in the Order; and (7) implementation of a process to allow 
shippers to use a third party's storage to reconcile imbalance and 
enhanced use of ISS and storage transfers into and from storage 
accounts.
    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 on 
or before June 7, 2002. 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'' link, select ``Docket'' and 
follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance). Comments,
