[Docket No. RM98-9-000]
On November 24, 1998, the Interstate Natural Gas Association of
America, the American Gas Association, the Process Gas Consumers Group
and American Iron and Steel Institute (hereafter ``Petitioners'') filed
a joint motion for an extension of time for the filing of comments in
response to the Commission's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued
September 30, 1998, in the above-docketed proceeding.
In its motion, Petitioners state that due to the shear number of
ongoing rulemaking proceedings at the Commission and the onset of the
Thanksgiving holiday season, additional time is needed within which to
prepare and file comments. The motion also states that an extension of
time will not unduly delay Commission action on the matters related to
this proceeding. Petitioners motion further states that they are
authorized to represent that the American Petroleum Association of
America and the Natural Gas Supply Association have been contacted and
they do not oppose the request for additional time.
Upon consideration, notice is hereby given that an extension of
time for the filing of comments is granted to and including December
22, 1998.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
