Take notice that on February 6, 1998, Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P. (Iroquois), One Corporate Drive, Suite 600, Shelton, Connecticut 06484, filed in Docket No. CP98-221-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to construct and operate a third meter run at its existing Northport Meter Station, located in Suffolk County, New York, to permit additional capability to serve Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO), under Iroquois' blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP89-634-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Iroquois proposes to construct and operate a third meter run at Iroquois; Northport Meter Station, located in Suffolk County, New York, to provide additional capacity to serve LILCO at that delivery point. LILCO proposes the conversion of an existing 380 MW generating unit at its Northport Power Station to provide it with dual fuel capability and the addition of a third meter run would provide additional capacity at the meter station to meet LILCO's planned requirements. Iroquois declares the third meter run would increase the delivery capability at the Northport Meter Station from approximately 213 MMcf to approximately 312 MMcf per day. Iroquois states the estimated cost of the third meter run is $190,000, which will be recovered through the provision of additional deliveries to LILCO. Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 30 [[Page 8629]] days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
