[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 126 (Thursday, July 1, 1999)] [Notices] [Page 35638] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-16731] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. RP98-206-005] Atlanta Gas Light Company; Notice of Filing June 25, 1999. Take notice that on June 22, 1999, Atlanta Gas Light Company (Atlanta) tendered for filing a request for extension of the waivers and limited jurisdiction blanket certificate granted by the Commission in its ``Order Issuing Limited-Term, Limited-Jurisdiction Blanket Certificate, Amending Certificates for a Limited Term, and Granting Temporary Waivers'' issued on July 31, 1998 in the above-captioned proceeding (July 31 Order). Atlanta requests that the Commission grant an extension of the waivers and other authorizations granted in the July 31 Order in order to enable Atlanta to continue to implement the interstate capacity assignment provisions of Georgia's retail natural gas unbundling program beyond the October 31, 1999 expiration date of the authorizations granted in the July 31 Order. To provide certainty for parties participating in the Georgia program, Atlanta requests that the Commission extend the waivers and other authorizations until March 31, 2003, or the time that the affected interstate services either expire, are made directly assignable, or are converted to Part 284 service, whichever occurs sooner. In addition, Atlanta requests that the Commission expand Atlanta's waiver of Section 284.243(h)(2) of the Commission's regulations to enable Atlanta to pass through to marketers the benefits of discount and negotiated rate arrangements Atlanta may enter into in the future, in addition to the existing Southern discount arrangement. Atlanta further requests that the Commission act on its request by July 28, 1999, to enable Atlanta and its marketers to make the necessary arrangements and adjustments with interstate pipeline suppliers prior to October 1, 1999, when it is anticipated that Atlanta will exit the merchant function. Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Section 285.211 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed on or before July 2, 1999. Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceedings. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
