Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with

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 or if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that a grant of the subject authorization 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 Southern to appear or to be represented at
the hearing.
