[Docket No. CP89-629-033]
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Amendment
November 21, 1996.
Take notice that on November 15, 1996, Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company (Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed an
abbreviated application in Docket No. CP89-629-033, pursuant to Section
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, to amend the certificate of public
convenience and necessity previously issued in this proceeding to
accommodate two shippers' requests for additional receipt and delivery
points, all as more fully set forth in the amendment which is on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Tennnessee states that on November 14, 1990, it received Section
7(c) authorization to provide, inter alia, firm transportation service
on behalf of Selkirk Cogen Partners, L.P. (Selkirk) and Orchard Gas
Corporation (Orchard) (as agent for both MASSPOWER and Granite State
Gas Transmission, Inc.).\1\ Tennessee states that each shipper has
requested an additional delivery point and an additional receipt point
to ensure its ability to fully utilize the service under its firm
transportation agreement. Selkirk and Orchard state that the additional
receipt and delivery points are required in the event of any
modifications in gas requirements at their cogeneration plants due to
either temporary outages at the plants or unavailability of their gas
supplies.

\1\ 53 FERC para. 61,194 (1990).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tennessee states the addition of these points would not increase
the shippers' current maximum daily contract quantities under their
respective transportation agreements. In addition, the requested points
for each shipper are located between the shipper's existing firm
receipt and delivery points. Tennessee states that it has sufficient
capacity to accommodate these requests without adversely affecting
service to other firm customers and without the construction of new
facilities.
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 St., NE,
Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules and 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 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 a grant of the certificate is required by the public
convenience and necessity. If a motion of 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 Tennessee to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
