[Docket No. RP03-80-000]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

November 21, 2002.
    Take notice that on November 19, 2002, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, 
effective December 1, 2002:

Fifty-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 8A
Forty-Seventh Revised Sheet No. 8A.01
Forty-Seventh Revised Sheet No. 8A.02
Fifth Revised Sheet No. 8A.04
Fiftieth Revised Sheet No. 8B
Forty-Third Revised Sheet No. 8B.01
First Revised Sheet No. 8B.02

    FGT states that in Docket No. RP02-513-000 filed on August 29, 
2002, FGT filed to establish a Base Fuel Reimbursement Charge 
Percentage (``Base FRCP'') of 3.01 % to become effective for the six-
month Winter Period beginning October 1, 2002. In the instant filing, 
FGT is filing a flex adjustment of (0.26%) to be effective December 1, 
2002, which, when combined with the Base FRCP of 3.01% results in an 
Effective Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage of 2.75%. FGT states 
that this filing is necessary because FGT is currently experiencing 
lower fuel usage than is being recovered in the currently effective 
FRCP of 3.01%. Decreasing the Effective FRCP will reduce FGT's 
overrecovery of fuel and reduce the Unit Fuel Surcharge in the next 
Winter Period.
    FGT states that the tariff sheets listed above are being filed 
pursuant to Section 27.A.2.b of the General Terms and Conditions of 
FGT's Tariff, which provides for flex adjustments to the Base FRCP. 
Pursuant to the terms of Section 27.A.2.b, a flex adjustment shall 
become effective without prior FERC approval provided that such flex 
adjustment does not exceed 0.50%, is effective at the beginning of a 
month, is posted on FGT's EBB at least five working days prior to the 
nomination deadline, and is filed no more than sixty and at least seven 
days before the proposed effective date. FGT states that the instant 
filing comports with these provisions and FGT has posted notice of the 
flex adjustment prior to the instant filing. 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. This filing is 
available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or 
may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using
