DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. RP03-207-000]
Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in
FERC Gas Tariff
December 24, 2002.
Take notice that on December 18, 2002, Florida Gas Transmission
Company (FGT) tendered for filing to become part of its FERC Gas
Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets,
effective January 1, 2003:
Fifty-Seventh Revised Sheet No. 8A
Forty-Ninth Revised Sheet No. 8A.01
Forty-Ninth Revised Sheet No. 8A.02
Seventh Revised Sheet No. 8A.04
Fifty-Second Revised Sheet No. 8B
Forty-Fifth Revised Sheet No. 8B.01
Second Revised Sheet No. 8B.02
FGT states that in Docket No. RP02-513-000 filed on August 29,
2002, it filed to establish a Base Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage
(Base FRCP) of 3.01 % to become effective for the six-month winter
period beginning October 1, 2002. Subsequently, on November 19, 2002,
in Docket No. RP03-80-000, FGT filed a flex adjustment of (0.26%) to be
effective December 1, 2002, which, when combined with a Base FRCP of
3.01% resulted in an Effective Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage
(Effective FRCP) of 2.75%. FGT states that in the instant filing, it is
filing a flex adjustment of (0.24%) to be effective January 1, 2003,
which, when combined with the current Effective FRCP of 2.75%, results
in a new Effective FRCP of 2.51%.
FGT states that this filing is necessary because it is currently
experiencing lower fuel usage than is being recovered in the Effective
FRCP of 2.75%. Decreasing the Effective FRCP will reduce FGT's
overrecovery of fuel and reduce the unit fuel surcharge in the next
winter period.
FGT states that the tariff sheets listed above are being filed
pursuant to section 27.A.2.b of the general terms and conditions of
FGT's Tariff, which provides for flex adjustments to the Base FRCP.
Pursuant to the terms of section 27.A.2.b, a flex adjustment shall
become effective without prior FERC approval provided that such flex
adjustment does not exceed 0.50%, is effective at the beginning of a
month, is posted on FGT's EBB at least five working days prior to the
nomination deadline, and is filed no more than 60 and at least seven
days before the proposed effective date. The instant filing comports
with these provisions and FGT has posted notice of the flex adjustment
prior to the instant filing.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in
accordance with sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's rules
and regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in
accordance with section 154.210 of the Commission's regulations.
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. Any person wishing to become a party must
file a motion to intervene. This filing is available for review at the
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link.
