Take notice that on May 31, 2002, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee), tendered for filing a revised accounting of Tennessee's take-or-pay transition costs and 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.
