[Docket No. CP97-531-000]
Mississippi Valley Gas Company; Notice of Application
June 2, 1997.
Take notice that on March 19, 1997, Mississippi Valley Gas Company
(MVGC), Post Office Box 3348, Jackson, Mississippi 39207-3348, filed in
Docket No. CP97-531-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon MVGC's
certificate of public convenience and necessity, which was authorized
in Docket No. CP82-41-000,
[[Page 31091]]
all as more fully set forth in the application on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection.
MVGC states that it is seeking to abandon its certificate and
related service because it is not now conducting any such Natural Gas
Policy Act of 1978 Section 311 transportation service, and has not
conducted any such services during the past six years. MVGC further
states that it has no contracts for, and no plans to provide, any such
services and therefore no longer has any use for the certificate.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make protest with reference
to said application should on or before June 23, 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.
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, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are
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 provided for, unless
otherwise advised, it will be unnecessary for MVGC to appear or be
represented at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
