Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Negotiated Rate and 
Material Deviation Filing

September 23, 1999.
    Take notice that on September 20, 1999, Tennessee Gas Pipeline 
Company (Tennessee) tendered for filing three firm service agreements 
and amendments thereto and a description of the essential conditions 
involved in agreeing to three (3) negotiated arrangements to be 
effective on November 1, 1999 and four (4) negotiated rate arrangements 
to be effective on November 2, 2000 (collectively, the Negotiated Rate 
Arrangements). Tennessee states that three of the amendments to the 
firm service agreements are being filed as non-conforming service 
agreements. Tennessee also filed Seventh Revised Sheet No. 413 
Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1.
    Tennessee states that the tariff sheet references the three 
amendments as non-conforming service agreements. Tennessee requests 
that the Commission approve the Negotiated Rate Arrangements by October 
15, 1999 to be effective on November 1, 1999 and November 2, 2000, as 
applicable. Tennessee requests that the Commission approve the non-
conforming service agreements and the tariff sheet by October 15, 1999 
to be effective on November 1, 1999.
    Tennessee states that the filed Negotiated Rate Arrangements 
reflect negotiated rates between Tennessee and the Berkshire Gas 
Company (Berkshire) for transportation and storage service, as 
applicable, under various firm transportation and storage service 
agreements for four (4) or five (5) year periods with each to be 
effective beginning November 1, 1999 or November 2, 2000.
    In addition, Tennessee states that it is filing the three 
amendments as non-conforming service agreements pursuant to Section 
154.1(d) of the Commission's Regulations because the three amendments 
contain provisions which may ``deviate in [a] material aspect'' from 
Tennessee's pro forma firm service agreements.
    Tennessee states that copies of the filing have been mailed to all 
of Tennessee's customers and affected state regulatory commissions.
    Any person desiring to protest such 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 on 
or before September 30, 1999. Protests will be considered by the 
Commission to determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will 
not serve to make protestants parties to the proceedings. Copies of 
this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for 
public inspection in the Public Reference Room. This filing may be 
viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-
