No. 3740 and Original Sheet No. 3740.00, which tariff sheets are 
proposed to have an effective date of December 1, 2002.
    Transco states that the instant filing is submitted pursuant to the 
Commission's Regulation of Short-Term Natural Gas Transportation 
Services and Regulation of Interstate Natural Gas Transportation 
Services in Docket Nos. RM98-10 and RM98-12, et. al. (Order No. 637). 
In Order No. 637, the Commission, among other things, revised its 
regulations regarding the availability of the Right-of-First-Refusal

be applicable to contracts at the applicable maximum rate with either

service which is not available for 12 consecutive months, a contract 
term of more than one year. Additionally, a shipper receiving firm 
service at less than the applicable maximum rate pursuant to a service 
agreement executed prior to March 26, 2000 that meets the foregoing 
term criteria, will also be eligible for a right of first refusal; 
provided however, the right of first refusal will not apply to a re-
executed service agreement unless it is at the applicable maximum rate.
