DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP96-69-000]
CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application
December 12, 1995.
Take notice that on November 14, 1995, CNG Transmission Corporation
(CNGT), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, filed in
Docket No. CP96-69-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon a portion of a
storage service provided to Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) under
Part 157 of the Commission's regulations and instead provide additional
storage service under Part 284 blanket authorization, all as more fully
set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to
public inspection.\1\
\1\CNGT filed corrected pages 1, 3 and 4 of the application on
December 1, 1995.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CNGT proposes to abandon 101,342 Dt of the Storage Capacity that
has been allocated to LILCO under an October 1, 1993, Part 157 Service
Agreement, and provided under CNGT's Rate Schedule GSS, in order that
101,342 Dt of additional Storage Capacity may be provided under CNGT's
Part 284 blanket authorization.
CNGT states that the Commission originally authorized CNGT to
provide this storage capacity to Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation
on behalf of LILCO, for a three-year term, as part of the storage
services that were approved in Docket No. CP83-386 (25 FERC para.61,355
(1983)). CNGT further states that the term of this certificated storage
service was subsequently extended by Commission order in Docket No.
CP84-306 (29 FERC para.61,032 (1984)). CNGT also states that these Part
157 entitlements were transferred to LILCO as part of CNGT's Order No.
636 restructuring proceeding, in Docket No. RS92-14-005, et al. (64
FERC para.61,303 (1993)).
CNGT additionally states that the proposed partial abandonment of
this service is consistent with the Stipulation and Agreement filed
June 28, 1995, in CNGT Docket No. RP94-96-012, et al., particularly the
settlement mitigation for Phase II Billing Determinants more fully
described in Appendix ``D'' of CNGT's filing, and will result in an
increase in LILCO's GSS Billing Determinants from 34,137 Dt/d to 35,814
Dt/d, which will be offset by a decrease in LILCO's FTNN Billing
Determinants from 27,689 Dt/d to 26,012 Dt/d.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before January 2, 1996, 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 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 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 CNGT to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
