[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.
