[Docket No. RP97-297-001]


Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Compliance Filing

June 18, 1997.
    Take notice that on June 13, 1997, Florida Gas Transmission Company 
(FGT) tendered for filing certain information related to the recovery 
of transition costs and proposed refunds of overcollections to its 
shippers.
    FGT states that on March 24, 1997, it made two filings with respect 
to its transition cost recovery mechanism set forth in Section 24 of 
the General Terms and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised 
Volume No. 1. Specifically, in Docket No. RP97-297-000, FGT requested 
waiver of its tariff provisions and submitted an out-of-cycle TCR 
report (Out-of-Cycle Report) which reflected actual recoveries through 
February 28, 1997, with projections for the months of March and April, 
1997. The Out-of-Cycle Report projected that FGT's Order 636 Account 
balance would be fully recovered during March, 1997 and that its TCR 
Account balance would be fully recovered during April, 1997.
    Accordingly, in Docket No. RP97-296-000, FGT filed tariff sheets to 
suspend its TCR and 636 Reservation Charges and TCR Usage Surcharge 
(Suspension Filing) effective May 1, 1997. Both filings included the 
provisions that FGT would file a supplemental report no later than June 
15, 1997 to reflect actual recoveries for the months of March and 
April, 1997 and to set forth its proposal to refund any overcollections 
that would occur during April, 1997.
    On April 30, 1997, the Commission issued an order (``April 30 
order'') accepting the tariff sheets filed in the Suspension Filing. 
The April 30 Order also accepted the Out-of-Cycle Report, subject to: 
(1) the filing of the supplemental report described above no later than 
June 15, 1997, and (2) the outcome of another TCR proceeding in Docket 
No. RP97-56 currently pending before the Commission. The instant filing 
is being made in compliance with the first condition of the April 30 
Order.

    FGT states that its Order 636 Account balance was, in fact, fully 
recovered during March, 1997 and that its TCR Account balance was fully 
recovered during April, 1997 with an overrecovery (including carrying 
charges) of $1,315,938.36 resulting as of April 30, 1997. FGT proposes 
to allocate this refund obligation on a pro rata basis based on actual 
recoveries from FGT's shippers during the month of April, 1997, the 
month in which the overrecovery occurred, and to make such refunds 
within thirty (30) days of a final Commission order accepting this 
filing, with carrying charges calculated through the refund date.
    Florida Gas states that copies of the report were mailed to all 
customers serviced under the rate schedules affected by the report and 
the interested state commissions.
    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 proceeding. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room.

Secretary.
