Florida Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Compliance Filing

June 20, 2002.
    Take notice that on June 17, 2002, Florida Gas Transmission Company 
(FGT) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised 
Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets:

Fifth Revised Sheet No. 119
Fifth Revised Sheet No. 120A
Original Sheet No. 135B
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 162
Fifth Revised Sheet No. 165A
Sixth Revised Sheet No. 166
First Revised Sheet No. 166A
Fifth Revised Sheet No. 167
Third Revised Sheet No. 175

    FGT states On February 9, 2000, the Commission issued its final 
rule regarding the regulation of interstate natural gas transportation 
services in Docket Nos. RM98-10-000 and RM98-12-000 (Order No. 637). 
Among other things, Order No. 637 required pipelines to demonstrate 
compliance or make conforming tariff changes related to scheduling 
equality, released capacity, capacity segmentation, pipeline imbalance 
services, operational flow orders (OFOs) and penalties. The Commission 
further clarified these requirements in Order Nos. 637-A and 637-B.
    On July 14, 2000, FGT submitted pro forma tariff sheets proposing 
changes to comply with Order No. 637 (July 14, 2000 Filing). 
Subsequently, on May 16, 2002 the Commission issued its order on FGT's 
July 14, 2000 Filing. The May 16 Order accepted FGT's proposal on 
several issues while requiring FGT to make tariff revisions and to file 
actual tariff sheets within thirty (30) days consistent with the 
discussion in such order. Additionally, the May 16 Order directed that 
such tariff sheets not be placed into effect before further order of 
the Commission.
    FGT states that in the instant filing, FGT addresses each of the 
Commission's directives and is proposing corresponding tariff changes. 
However, FGT requests that the Commission defer acting on certain 
tariff sheets related to issues for which FGT has requested rehearing. 
With respect to those tariff sheets, FGT reserves the right to propose 
modifications to the tariff provisions proposed herein as a result of 
future Commission orders resulting from FGT's Request for Rehearing and 
Clarification of the Commission's May 16 Order. In addition, FGT 
reserves the right to propose modifications to these tariff sheets as a 
result of Commission orders which are a result of underlying challenges 
to Order No. 637 in Interstate Natural Gas Association of America v. 
F.E.R.C., No. 98-1333, et al., 2002 WL 506850 (D.C. Cir. April 5, 
2002).
    Any person desiring to protest said 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 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. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection. This filing may 
also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS''
