(Atlanta) 303 Peachtree Street, N.E.., Atlanta, Georgia 30308, filed in 
Docket No. CP97-772-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Section 284.224 of the Commission's 
Regulations, for a limited-jurisdiction blanket certificate of public 
convenience and necessity authorizing Atlanta to transport natural gas 
from time to time, all as more fully set forth in the application on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Atlanta states that it has recently been approached by parties 
seeking service this winter and prompt issuance of a blanket 
certificate will facilitate Atlanta's ability to meet market demand on 
a timely basis.\1\ Atlanta requests waiver of Section 284.224(c)(7), 
stating that it is not proposing to establish rates at this time. 
Atlanta indicates that after issuance of the blanket certificate, it 
will petition the Commission for rate approval for individual 
transactions in accordance with Section 284.123(b)(2).

    \1\ Atlanta was found to be a Hinshaw pipeline exempt from the 
Commission's jurisdiction under Section 1(c) by Commission order 
issued December 21, 1955, in Docket No. G-9585. (14 FPC 1156)

    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before October 10, 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 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

Regulation 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 a grant of the certificate is 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 herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Atlanta to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
