FGT states that on August 5, 1997, FGT filed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (Settlement) in Docket Nos. RP96-366, et al. resolving all issues in this rate proceeding. Pursuant to Article XIII, the Settlement became effective upon the first day of the first month following the issuance of a final Commission order. On September 24, 1997, the Commissiion issued an order approving the Settlement. Because no party requested rehearing as of October 24, 1997, the Settlement became effective November 1, 1997.

FGT states that the Settlement, among other provisions, provided that the Rate Schedule FTS-2 rates for transportation service through FGT's incremental expansion capacity would be tiered the filed rate would be effective from March 1, 1997 through February 28, 1999 with decreases becoming effective March 1, 1999 and March 1, 2000. Tariff Sheet 8A.01, which contains the Rate Schedule FTS-2 rates, reflected the Settlement rates for all three periods for FTS-2 service, with the decreases becoming effective March 1, 1999 and March 1, 2000 contained in a footnote.

FGT states that it is making the instant filing to replace the FTS-2 rates which are effective from March 1, 1999 through February 28, 2000 with the reservation and usage rates which become effective March 1, 2000. The reservation and usage rates which become effective March 1, 2000 are contained in footnote 1 on the currently effective sheet No. 8A.01.
