[Docket No. CP88-171-032]
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. CP88-171-032, 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.
Tennessee states that on May 2, 1990 \1\ and September 13, 1990,\2\
it received Section 7(c) authorization to provide, inter alia, firm
transportation service on behalf of Ocean State Power II (Ocean State
II) and Altresco-Pittsfield, LP (Alteresco). Tennessee states that
Ocean State II has requested an additional delivery point and an
additional receipt point and Altresco has requested two additional
delivery points and two additional receipt points to ensure their
ability to fully utilize the service under their respective firm
transportation agreements. Ocean State II and Altresco 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\ 51 FERC para. 61,113 (1990).
\2\ 52 FERC para. 61,257 (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 their 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 of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
[[Page 60275]]
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 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 Tennessee to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
