affected shippers in Docket No. RP95-197-000, et al.
    Transco states that on December 1, 1998, the Commission issued its 
Opinion and Order on Rehearing (Opinion No. 414-B) (Order) where the 
Commission determined the return to be used in developing rates for the 
Docket No. RP95-197 rate period of September 1, 1995 through April 30, 
1997. The date for refunds under Opinion 414-B and Article IV of the 
June 19, 1996 Stipulation and Agreement in Docket Nos. RP95-197, et al. 
(the Agreement) was established as January 30, 1999. On January 28, 
1999, however, the Commission granted Transco's motion for an extension 
of time within which to refile its recalculated rates and to make 
refunds until March 31, 1999.
    On February 25, 1999, Transco filed the recalculated rates in 
compliance with Ordering Paragraph (B) of Opinion 414-B (February 25 
Filing).
    Based on the February 25 Filing, storage and transportation refunds 
have been calculated for the period September 1, 1995 (the beginning of 
the Docket No. 95-197 rate period) through July 31, 1996 based on the 
difference between the amounts refunded on May 30, 1997 pursuant to 
Article IV of the Agreement and amounts calculated utilizing Transco's 
allowed rate of return as set forth in the February 25 Filing. For the 
period August 1, 1996 through April 30, 1997 (the end of the Docket No. 
95-197 rate period), storage and transportation refunds have been 
calculated based on the difference between the billed rates pursuant to 
the Agreement and the amounts calculated utilizing the rates set forth 
in the February 25 Filing.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed on 
or before April 14, 1999. 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 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
