Florida Gas Transmission Co.; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

November 26, 2002.
    Take notice that on November 22, 2002, Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, with an effective 
date of January 1, 2003: Fifty-Sixth Revised Sheet No. 8A, Forty-Eighth 
Revised Sheet No. 8A.01, Forty-Eighth Revised Sheet No. 8A.02, Sixth 
Revised Sheet No. 8A.04, Fifty-First Revised Sheet No. 8B, Forty-Fourth 
Revised Sheet No. 8B.01.
    FGT states that it is filing the above referenced tariff sheets 
pursuant to the Gas Research Institute's (GRI) Year 2003 Research, 
Development and Demonstration Program and 2003-2007 Five-Year Plan as 
approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Order issued 
September 19, 2002 in Docket No. RP02-354. For the year of 2003, the 
funding mechanism includes the approved GRI demand charges of 5.0 cents 
per MMBtu per month (.16[cent] per MMBtu stated on a daily basis 
underlying FGT's reservation charges) to be applicable to firm shippers 
with load factors exceeding 50%, 3.10 cents per MMBtu per month 
(.10[cent] per MMBtu stated on a daily basis underlying FGT's 
reservation charges) to be applicable to firm shippers with load 
factors of 50% or less and a volumetric charge of 0.40 cents per MMBtu 
to be applicable to all non-discounted interruptible rates and to the 
usage portion of two-part rates. In addition, the 2003 funding 
mechanism includes a volumetric charge of 0.60 cents per MMBtu to be 
applicable to all one-part small customer rates. This funding mechanism 
provides for a decrease in GRI charges as compared to the currently 
effective 2002 GRI charges.
    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
