Texas Eastern Transmission; LP Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC 
Gas Tariff

January 4, 2007.
    Take notice that on December 29, 2006, Texas Eastern Transmission, 
LP (Texas Eastern) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Seventh Revised Volume No. 1 and First Revised Volume No. 2, revised 
tariff sheets, as listed on Appendix B to the filing, to become 
effective February 1, 2007.
    Texas Eastern states that these revised tariff sheets are filed 
pursuant to Section 15.1, Electric Power Cost (EPC) Adjustment, of the 
General Terms and Conditions of Texas Eastern's FERC Gas Tariff, 
Seventh Revised Volume No. 1. Texas Eastern states that Section 15.1 
provides that Texas Eastern shall file, to be effective each February 
1, revised rates for each applicable zone and rate schedule, based upon 
the projected annual EPC required for the operation of transmission 
compressor stations with electric motor prime movers. The revised 
tariff sheets also reflect the EPC Surcharge, which is designed to 
clear the balance in the Deferred EPC Account.
    Texas Eastern states that all costs of electric power compression 
required for the incremental services under the Freehold Project and 
the M-1 Expansion Project are appropriately assigned to the incremental 
projects as required by the Commission orders certificating those 
projects. In addition, Texas Eastern states that it has based its EPC 
allocation to the TIME Project on the methodology set forth in the 
Commission-approved joint settlement in Docket Nos. RP03-542, et al.
    Texas Eastern states that generally, the revised tariff sheets 
reflect an increase in Texas Eastern's EPC Adjustment. For example, the 
proposed rate changes to the primary firm capacity reservation charges, 
usage rates and 100% load factor average costs for full Access Area 
Boundary service from the Access Area Zone, East Louisiana, to the 
three market area zones are as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Zone                      Reservation               Usage                 100% load factor
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Market 1...........................  $0.035/Dth...........  $0.0012/Dth..........  0.0024/Dth
Market 2...........................  0.104/Dth............  0.0040/Dth...........  0.0074/Dth
Market 3...........................  0.152/Dth............  0.0056/Dth...........  0.0106/Dth
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

commissions.
