[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 230 (Wednesday, November 27, 1996)] [Notices] [Pages 60274-60275] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-30257] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Docket No. CP88-171-032] Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Amendment November 21, 1996. Take notice that on November 15, 1996, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed an abbreviated application in Docket No. CP88-171-032, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, to amend the certificate of public convenience and necessity previously issued in this proceeding to accommodate two shippers' requests for additional receipt and delivery points, all as more fully set forth in the amendment which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Tennessee states that on May 2, 1990 \1\ and September 13, 1990,\2\ it received Section 7(c) authorization to provide, inter alia, firm transportation service on behalf of Ocean State Power II (Ocean State II) and Altresco-Pittsfield, LP (Alteresco). Tennessee states that Ocean State II has requested an additional delivery point and an additional receipt point and Altresco has requested two additional delivery points and two additional receipt points to ensure their ability to fully utilize the service under their respective firm transportation agreements. Ocean State II and Altresco state that the additional receipt and delivery points are required in the event of any modifications in gas requirements at their cogeneration plants due to either temporary outages at the plants or unavailability of their gas supplies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ 51 FERC para. 61,113 (1990). \2\ 52 FERC para. 61,257 (1990). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tennessee states the addition of these points would not increase the shippers' current maximum daily contract quantities under their respective transportation agreements. In addition, the requested points for each shipper are located between their existing firm receipt and delivery points. Tennessee states that it has sufficient capacity to accommodate these requests without adversely affecting service to other firm customers and without the construction of new facilities. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with reference to said application should on or before December 12, 1996, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE, 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) [[Page 60275]] 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 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 a grant of the certificate is 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 herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will be unnecessary for Tennessee to appear or be represented at the hearing. Lois D. Cashell, Secretary.
