Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Discontinuation of 
Supply Area Volumetric Surcharge

February 23, 2004.
    Take notice that on February 18, 2004, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee) tendered for filing tariff sheets to discontinue 
its Supply Area Volumetric Surcharge. Tennessee requests an effective 
date of February 1, 2004.
    Tennessee states that pursuant to Article XXV of the General Terms 
and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1, 
Tennessee recovers take or pay transition costs through a combination 
of demand and volumetric surcharges. Tennessee explains that pursuant 
to Article XXV, section 4.3 of the Tariff, Tennessee is to discontinue 
the Supply Area Volumetric Surcharge at the end of a month in which the 
balance in the Supply Area Volumetric Transition Cost subaccount 
declines to zero. Tennessee states that during the production month of 
January 2004, the balance in the Supply Area Volumetric Transition Cost 
subaccount declined to zero. Consequently, Tennessee is discontinuing 
the Supply Area Volumetric Surcharge effective February 1, 2004. 
Tennessee indicates that, pursuant to Article XXV, section 4.3 of the 
Tariff, the surcharge will be reinstated if the balance in the 
subaccount later becomes positive.
    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
