[Docket No. CP97-109-000]
Distrigas of Massachusetts Corporation; Notice of Application
November 21, 1996.
Take notice that on November 20, 1996, Distrigas of Massachusetts
Corporation (DOMAC), 75 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02109,
filed in Docket No. CP97-109-000 an application for a limited-term
certificate of public convenience and necessity and request for
expedited action requesting authority to install certain temporary air
injection equipment at its liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in
Everett, Massachusetts.
DOMAC states that it requires additional air injection capability
in order to air-stabilize a cargo of Algerian LNG, with a higher than
usual BTU content, which is currently en route to its terminal. DOMAC
further states that its current air injection equipment is inadequate
to fully air-stabilize the cargo in time to enable the receipt of an
additional cargo of high BTU LNG also en route to its terminal from Abu
Dhabi. DOMAC has requested issuance of temporary authority by November
22, 1996, and a limited-term certificate for the remainder of the
winter heating season ending on March 31, 1997.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before December 12, 1996,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street,
NE., 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 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 and
grant of certificate 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 herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for DOMAC to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
