7400 (Voice) or (503) 241-0950 (FAX).
    Any person desiring to be heard or making any protest with

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. 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.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory 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 
petition 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 requested exemption is required by the public convenience 
and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, of 
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 uncessary for Stanfield to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
