Hunt Refining Co. et al.; Petition for Exemption From 
Jurisdictional Status

April 6, 1994.
    Take notice that on March 17, 1994, Hunt Refining Company (Hunt) 
and East Mississippi Pipeline Company (East Mississippi), (referred 
jointly as Petitioners), filed a request that the Commission exempt the 
pipeline facilities of Hunt and East Mississippi from the Commission's 
jurisdiction on the basis that such facilities are not 
``jurisdictional'' within the meaning of the Interstate Commerce Act 
(ICA) but are private, proprietary systems. Petitioners submit that 
they are not subject to the filing requirements of sections 6 (schedule 
of rates and charges), 19(a) (maps and valuation data), and 20 (annual, 
periodic, and special reports) of the ICA. In the alternative, 
petitioners request that the Commission (a) exempt Hunt and East 
Mississippi from the filing and reporting requirements which otherwise 
would apply, or (b) recognize that Hunt and East Mississippi need not 
publish a schedule of rates and charges.
    The Petitioners state that the facilities for which an exemption is 
sought are owned entirely by Petitioners and will be utilized solely to 
transport crude oil to which Hunt holds title. No other refinery 
interconnects with the Petitioners' facilities and, due to the location 
and service performed by these facilities, requests for access to the 
facilities by any third party are extremely unlikely.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.214 and 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests should 
be filed on or before April 21, 1994. Protests will be considered by 
the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but 
will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any 
person wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. 
Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available 
for public inspection in the public reference room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
