Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company; Notice of Refund Report

June 18, 2002.
    Take notice that on May 20, 2002, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line 
Company (PEPL) tendered for filing its 2002 Kansas Ad Valorem Tax 
Annual Report in the above-referenced docket pursuant to the 
Stipulation and Agreement (Settlement) filed with the Commission on 
June 22, 2001 in Docket No. RP98-40-000, et al., for which the 
Commission issued an Order Approving Settlement on September 13, 2001, 
effective October 15, 2001. On December 28, 2001, PEPL refunded to its 
jurisdictional customers their allocated share of the refunds of Kansas 
ad valorem taxes received from PEPL's producer suppliers in accordance 
with such Settlement. On January 25, 2002, PEPL submitted a Refund 
Report, with work papers and supporting documentation for the 
allocation of refunds to its Jurisdictional Customers. PEPL's Refund 
Report was accepted by the Commission on March 7, 2002.
    PEPL states that Schedule 1 to its filing shows the Non-Settling 
First Sellers that have not provided refunds of Kansas ad valorem taxes 
under the Settlement. Schedule 2 shows the calculation of interest from 
February 1, 2001 through March 31, 2002 for each Non-Settling First 
Seller. Updated interest has been calculated in

accordance with Section 154.501(d) of the Commission's Regulations. 
Schedule 3, Page 1 shows certain First Sellers refund amounts related 
to Missouri Public Service Commission's (MoPSC) election to opt-out 
with respect to discrete portions of the Settlement. One of the MoPSC 
opt-out related First Sellers, Dorchester Hugoton LTD., has paid its 
refund amount to PEPL. Due to its small size, PEPL is holding this 
amount pending resolution of the other Working Interest Owner refunds. 
Schedule 3, Page 2 reflects additional interest that has accumulated 
through March 31, 2002.
    PEPL states that copies of its filing have been provided to all 
parties and respective State Regulatory Commissions.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,

Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed on 
or before July 9, 2002. Protests will be considered by the Commission
