Any questions regarding the application should be directed to
Gisela B. Cherches, Senior Attorney, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Corporation, Post Office Box 1396, Houston, Texas 77251, (713) 215-
2000.
Transco states that PECO Energy Company (PECO) desires to abandon
43,382 dt/d of withdrawal capacity and 3, 687, 492 dt of total storage
capacity effective October 1, 1999, which is currently provided to PECO
under Rate Schedule WSS, and to convert such service to Rate Schedule
WSS--Open Access storage service. Upon authorization of abandonment of
this portion of Rate Schedule WSS service, it will be converted and
Transco will provide Part 284 service under Rate Schedule WSS--Open
Access to PECO for the entire amount of capacity.
Tranco also requests, to the extent necessary, a waiver of Section
49 of the General Terms and Conditions of its tariff, which requires
Transco to announce any firm capacity which becomes available and to
hold an open season for such capacity.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before September 10, 1999,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC
20426, a petition 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 petition 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 petition to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public
convenience and necessity. If a petition for leave is timely filed, or
if the Commission on its own motion believes
[[Page 46668]]
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 Transco to appear or be represented at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
