Avoca Natural Gas Storage; Petition

May 26, 1994.
    Take notice that on May 17, 1994, Avoca Natural Gas Storage 
(Avoca), One Bowdoin Square, Boston, Massachusetts 02114, filed in 
Docket No. CP91-161-001 a petition, pursuant to Rule 207(a)(5) of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.207(a)(5), and 
section 7(c)(1)(B) of the Natural Gas Act, seeking approval of a 
temporary exemption from certificate requirements, all as more fully 
set forth in the petition which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    Specifically, Avoca seeks an exemption to construct and test three 
water production wells and five monitoring wells. The data received 
will enable the Susquehana River Basin Commission (SRBC)\1\ to review 
the water withdrawal impacts of the Avoca project. Avoca states that 
the SRBC's review and approval of the proposed water withdrawal is 
necessary before construction commences on its natural gas storage 
project pursuant to the issuance of a section 7(c) certificate by this 
Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\The SRBC was created pursuant to a federal compact. The 
compact was ratified by New York, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, the 
three states which border the river basin. The SRBC's regulations 
are found at 18 CFR 801, et seq.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said petition should on or before June 3, 1994, file with 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 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. All persons who have heretofore filed need not file 
again.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
