03-4469. Honeoye Storage Corporation; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

February 20, 2003.

Take notice that on February 14, 2003 Honeoye Storage Corporation (Honeoye) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume 1A, the revised tariff sheets listed on Appendix A to the filing, to be effective April 1, 2003.

Honeoye states that this filing is being made for four reasons: (1) To update its tariff to comply with the most recently approved North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB) standards; (2) to permit Honeoye to offer its customers the flexibility of revising nominations on a retroactive basis when operating conditions permit; (3) to modify certain billing and payment, creditworthiness and remedies provisions of Honeoye's tariff to enable Honeoye to obtain better credit information and protect itself against possible shipper defaults; and (4) to modify its procedures for allocating firm storage capacity to provide Honeoye with greater flexibility to determine winning bidders on a non-discriminatory basis.

Honeoye states that it is making this filing at this time so that prospective customers will have the opportunity to evaluate these changes prior to entering into gas storage agreements to become effective as of April 1, 2003. Honeoye states that there will be no change in rates and revenues under the proposed revisions.

Honeoye further states that copies of the filing are being mailed to Honeoye's jurisdictional customers and interested state regulatory agencies.
