Tennessee proposes to revise four of its rate schedules, FT-A, IT, IS and FS.

In addition, to address the release of discounted volumes, Tennessee proposes to add the following sentence to Section 5.1 and Section 6.1: ``In the event Shipper releases capacity at a rate which is higher than Shipper's discounted rate, such difference may be shared in the manner agreed to by Transporter and Shipper.'' Tennessee also proposes to revise Section 5.1 of Rate Schedule IT to more specifically state the point-specific and volume-specific discounts already reflected in currently effective Section 5.1 of Rate Schedule IT. Tennessee proposes to revise Section 8.2 of Rate Schedule IS and Section 3.1 of the IS pro forma agreement to reflect volume-specific and storage field-specific discounts. Lastly, Tennessee proposes to revise Section 5.2 of Rate Schedule FT and Section 3.1 of the FS pro forma storage agreement to reflect: (a) volume-specific; (b) storage field-specific and (c) authorized overrun discounts. Tennessee requests an effective date of August 1, 1998.
