Take notice that on April 25, 1997, Egan Hub Partners, L.P. (Egan
Hub) 44084 Riverside Parkway, Suite 340, Leesburg, Virginia 20176,
filed, in Docket No. CP96-199-004, a petition to amend the order issued
on October 7, 1996 as amended on January 11, 1997,\1\ pursuant to
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations to drill an additional
brine disposal well, Well No. 5, at the Egan Hub Salt Dome Storage
Facility located in Acadia Parish, Louisiana, all as more fully set

\1\ See 77 61,016 para. (1996) and 78 FERC para. 62,066 (1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Egan Hub states that it is currently authorized to operate four
brine disposal wells, Wells Nos. 1, 1, 3, and 4, and to dispose of up
to 4000 gallons of waste brine per minute. Egan Hub further states that
due to a blockage in Well No. 2 and to deteriorating brine absorption
rates in Well Nos. 1, 3, and 4, Egan Hub is no longer able to achieve
necessary brine disposal rates. Therefore, Egan Hub seeks authorization
to drill a new brine disposal well, Well No. 5, to restore its disposal
capability to the required level, but within the certificated rate of
4000 gallons per minute.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said petition to amend should on or before May 20, 1997,
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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
