Steuben Gas Storage Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

January 4, 1999.
    Take notice that on December 21, 1998, Steuben Gas Storage Company 
(Steuben), 500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed a 
prior notice request with the Commission in Docket No. CP99-128-000 
pursuant to Section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to increase the natural gas 
volumes and increase the maximum stabilized reservoir pressure at the 
Adrian gas storage field in Steuben County, New York, under Steuben's 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP96-119-000, et al., pursuant 
to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the request 
which is open to the public for inspection.
    Steuben proposes to increase the maximum volume of natural gas 
authorized to be stored in the Adrian gas storage field from 8,200 MMcf 
to 8,500 MMcf and to increase the maximum stabilized reservoir pressure 
from 2,188 psia to 2,202 psia. Steuben states that it would not 
construct any new facilities in this proposal. Steuben also states that 
it is now apparent that

the Adrian gas storage field's pore volume, and thus, its storage 
capacity is slightly greater than was previously estimated and 
certificated by the Commission in docket No. CP89-1684-000. Steuben 
further states that rounding up to a new maximum inventory of 8,500 
MMcf would require a slight increase in the certificated maximum 
pressure.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
commission has issued this notice, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the 
Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or 
notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of the 
Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If 
no protest is filed within the allowed time, the proposed activity 
shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day after the time 
allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 
within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant 
request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant 
to Section 7 of the NGA.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
