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

July 3, 2002.
    Take notice that on June 28, 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 
listed in Appendix A to the filing, with a proposed effective date of 
August 1, 2002.
    Transco states that the instant filing is submitted pursuant to 
Section 39 of the General Terms and Conditions of Transco's FERC Gas 
Tariff which provides that Transco will file to adjust its Great Plains 
Volumetric Surcharge (GPS) 30 days prior to each GPS Annual Period 
beginning August 1. The GPS Surcharge is designed to recover (i) the 
cost of gas purchased from Great Plains Gasification Associates (or its 
successor) which exceeds the Spot Index (as defined in Section 39 of 
the General Terms) and (ii) the related cost of transporting such gas.
    The revised GPS Surcharge included therein consists of two 
components--the Current GPS Surcharge calculated for the period August 
1, 2002 through July 31, 2003 plus the Great Plains Deferred Account 
Surcharge (Deferred Surcharge). The determination of the Deferred 
Surcharge is based on the balance in the current GPS subaccount plus 
accumulated interest at April 30, 2002.
    Transco states that included in Appendix B attached to the filing 
are workpapers supporting the calculation of the revised GPS Surcharge 
of $0.0137 per dt reflected on the tariff sheets included therein.
    Transco states that it is serving copies of the instant filing to 
its affected customers, interested State Commissions and other 
interested parties.
    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''
