Company (Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, tendered for

Jurisdictional Facilities'' in Docket No. EC99-73. El Paso Energy 
Corporation and Sonat Inc., 88 FERC 61,302 (1999) (hereinafter, the 
September 29th Order). In the September 29th Order, the Commission 
approved the application of El Paso Energy Corporation and Sonat Inc. 
requesting Commission approval of the proposed merger between the two 
companies. Tennessee further states that in their application, the 
respective companies committed to file tariff sheets, for each of their 
jurisdictional pipeline companies that serve the Southeast, committing 
that future pipeline expansion capacity will be offered to all shippers 
on a non-discriminatory basis. Upon further review of its Tariff, 
Tennessee notes that its currently effective tariff provisions already 
provide that expansions of its system will be offered on a non-
discriminatory basis. Specifically, Article XVII (Construction of 
Receipt and Delivery Facilities) of the General Terms and Conditions of 
Tennessee's Tariff sets forth Tennessee's generally applicable policy 
for the construction, modification and rearrangement of facilities and 
that Tennessee will handle all requests for construction of facilities
