    Take notice that Trunkline Gas Company (Trunkline) and Trunkline 
LNG Company (TLNG) on May 19, 1999, tendered for filing revised tariff 
sheets, listed on Appendix A attached to the filing, to TLNG's FERC Gas 
Tariff, Original Volume No. 1. TLNG requests an effective date of April

    Trunkline and TLNG state that this filing is being made in 
accordance with Section 154.203 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (Commission) Regulations and Article VIII of the 
provisions of the Stipulation and Agreement dated July 15, 1992, as 
approved by Commission Order dated August 28, 1992 in Docket Nos. RP87-

    Trunkline and TLNG further state that on March 29, 1999, Panhandle 
Eastern Pipe Line Company (Panhandle) and its principal consolidated 
subsidiaries, Trunkline and Pan Gas Storage Company, as well as 
Panhandle's affiliates, TLNG and Panhandle Storage Company, were

Energy Corporation of TLNG requires the implementation of Article VIII 
of the referenced Settlement. Specifically, Article VIII requires TLNG, 
and Trunkline in turn, to make refunds to customers, who were parties 
to the proceedings, if the ownership of all or a portion of the LNG 
terminal is transferred to an unaffiliated entity.
