[Docket No. CP97-187-000]
Honeoye Storage Corporation; Notice of Application
January 14, 1997.
Take notice that on January 8, 1997, Honeoye Storage Corporation
(Honeoye), One State Street, Suite 1200, Boston, Massachusetts, 02109,
filed in Docket No. CP97-187-000, an application pursuant to Section
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon
storage service of 6,814 MMBtu per day of Average Daily Withdrawal
Quantity (ADWQ) for Long Island Lighting Company (Lilco), and pursuant
to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, to authorize the allocation of
the abandoned service to two new customers, Providence Gas Company
(Providence), and ProMark Energy, Inc. (ProMark), all as more fully set
forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
Honeoye states that on March 21, 1996, Lilco notified Honeoye that
Lilco was terminating its Service Agreement with Honeoye effective
March 31, 1997 in accordance with Article Five of its Service
Agreement. Honeoye indicates that currently Lilco is entitled to
1,226,400 MMBtu of Maximum Quantities Storage (MQS), and a Maximum
Daily Withdrawal Quantity (MDWQ) of 10,220 MMBtu per day. Honeoye
hereby requests authorization to abandon such service in accordance
with Lilco's wishes.
Honeoye also states that it conducted an open season, offerring
potential customers the service to be relinquished by Lilco under the
terms, conditions, and rate of Honeoye's existing tariff. Honeoye
further states that as a result of such open season, Honeoye proposes
to provide the abandoned service in equal proportions to Providence and
ProMark.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make protest with reference
to said application should on or before January 24, 1997, file with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion
to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR
[[Page 3032]]
385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18
CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be considered
by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not
serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person
wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a party
in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance
with the Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are
required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave
to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such
hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will
be unnecessary for Honeoye to appear or be represented at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
