Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP99-324-000]
Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application
April 22, 1999.
Take notice that on April 16, 1999, Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed in
Docket No. CP99-324-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations,
seeking authorization to revise the certificated capacities of the
Cunningham, Lyons and Redfield storage fields as more fully described
in the Amendment on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection. The Application may be viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).
Northern states that it is filing to amend its existing
certificates pursuant to the Settlement of its rate case in Docket Nos.
RP98-203, et al. filed concurrently herewith. Northern says that the
settlement provides that Northern will file a Section 7(c) certificate
to revise the certificate level for Cunningham and Lyons storage fields
to reflect current operations. Northern states it is also requesting
authority to amend its certificate of public convenience and necessity
to remove the maximum inventory restriction by reservoir at its
Redfield underground storage field, while maintaining the total
inventory level, in order to provide additional operational flexibility
of the field.
Any person desiring to be heard or making any protest with
reference to said application should on or before May 13, 1999 file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,
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) and the Regulations under the
NGA (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. The
Commission's rules require that protestors provide copies of their
protests to the party or person to whom the protests are directed. 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.
A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive
copies of all documents issued by the Commission, filed by the
applicant, or filed by all other intervenors. An intervenor can file
for rehearing of any Commission order and can petition for court review
of any such order. However, an intervenor must serve copies of comments
or any other filing it makes with the Commission to every other
intervenor in the proceeding, as
[[Page 22856]]
well as filing an original and 14 copies with the Commission.
A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of such
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of
environmental documents, and will be able to participate in meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission, and will
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final
order to a Federal court.
The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally,
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Commission by
Sections 7 and 15 of the NGA 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 Northern to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
