[Docket No. RP02-166-002]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Compliance Filing

August 21, 2002.
    Take notice that on August 7, 2002, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (``FGT'') tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1 (``Tariff'') effective April 1, 
2002, the following tariff sheets:

Ninth Revised Sheet No. 2
Second Revised Sheet No. 209

    FGT states that on December 1, 1999, in Docket No. CP00-40-000, FGT 
filed for authorization to expand the capacity of its system in order 
to provide incremental firm transportation service pursuant to Rate 
Schedule FTS-2 (``Phase V Certificate Application''). Included as part 
of the Phase V Certificate Application were the Phase V shippers' FTS-2 
service agreements. FGT states that in its Preliminary Determination on 
Nonenvironmental Issues dated November 22, 2000 (``PD'') the Commission 
noted that these service agreements contained certain variations from 
the FTS-2 Form of Service Agreement contained in FGT's Tariff.

[[Page 55212]]

The PD directed FGT ``to refile them so that they conform with the FTS-
2 Form of Service Agreement in its tariff or to develop a generally 
applicable FTS-2 Form of Service Agreement to conform with the Phase V 
agreements.''
    FGT further states that on February 28, 2002, in Docket No. RP02-
166-000, FGT filed tariff revisions to its FTS-2 Form of Service 
Agreement (``February 28 Filing'') in response to the Commission's 
requirements in the PD. The February 28 Filing was rejected by 
Commission order issued March 28, 2002 (``March 28 Order''). The March 
28 Order directed FGT to file tariff changes modifying its FTS-2 Form 
of Service Agreement to match the provisions of the Phase V shippers' 
FTS-2 service agreements. In addition, FGT was instructed to include a 
narrative explanation and a matrix that matches up each Phase V 
contract provision with each proposed FTS-2 Form Agreement provision, 
including justification for any contract provision that deviates from 
the proposed FTS-2 Form Agreement.
    On April 17, 2002, FGT states it filed tariff revisions and the 
requested matrix (April 17 Filing) in accordance with the March 28 
Order. On August 1, 2002, the Commission issued an order (``August 1 
Order''), which affirms that FGT has ``fully complied with the 
Commission's directives in the PD and the March 28 order'', but states 
that ``there remain material deviations between the FTS-2 form of 
service agreement and the Phase V service agreements''. Ordering 
Paragraph 9 of the August 1 Order directs FGT to file, within ten days 
from the date of the order, a tariff sheet listing the Phase V service 
agreements as non-conforming in accordance with Section 154.112(b) of 
the Commission's regulations, which requires that service agreements 
that deviate in any material aspect from the form of service agreement 
must be filed with the Commission and referenced in FERC Volume No. 1. 
The instant filing is submitted in compliance with the August 1 Order.
    Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are 
available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
    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 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. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link.
