    Tennessee states that the purpose of the filing is to provide more 
detail and specificity in Tennessee's tariff and Tennessee's pro forma 
service agreements regarding the types of discounts that may be granted 
by Tennessee. Tennessee states that by including this information in 
Tennessee's tariff, Tennessee hopes to reduce any need for filing 
individual discount agreements as material deviations.
    Tennessee proposes to revise four of its rate schedules, FT-A, IT, 
IS and FS. Tennessee proposes to revise Section 5.1 of Rate Schedule 
FT-A, which currently reflects only point-specific discounts, and 
Section 6.1 of the pro forma FT-A transportation agreement to reflect 
all of the following types of

discounts: (a) point-specific; (b) volume-specific; (c) discounts based 
on a variable reservation/commodity charge allocation; (d) authorized 
overrun; and (e) Extended Deliveries Service. 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.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed as
