Tennesee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Filing and Request for Waiver

Take notice that on December 1, 2000, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee), tendered for filing (1) a revised accounting of Tennessee's take-or-pay transition costs and (2) a request for waiver of the requirement that Tennessee restate its take-or-pay transition surcharges.

Tennessee states that this filing of the revised accounting is in compliance with Article XXV of the General Terms and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume No. 1. Tennessee further states that the request for waiver is based on the fact that Tennessee has not incurred any significant recoverable take-or-pay costs since its last filing on June 1, 2000.
