Compliance Filings

July 25, 1997.

Take notice that Algonquin LNG, Inc.

(Algonquin LNG), 1284 Soldiers Field

Road, Boston, Massachusetts, 02135,

filed three non-environmental

compliance filings in Docket No. CP96–

517–002, (see items filed June 4, 1997,

July 8, 1997, and July 11, 1997). These

filings are related to its certificate of

public convenience and necessity under

Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act

(NGA) and its abandonment authority

for services and facilities under Section

7(b) of the NGA granted by the

Commission’s Order of May 6, 1997 (79

FERC 61,139). Algonquin LNG has

certificate (and abandonment)

authorization for new services, and new,

modified (and retired) facilities, such

that it will have the enhanced flexibility

to receive from its customers natural gas

to be liquefied and stored as liquefied

natural gas (LNG), and to withdraw and

deliver, as requested by its customer(s),

such natural gas in liquid or gaseous

form (LNG enhancement project). The

Commission’s May 6th Order required

certain non-environmental compliance

filings to be made within 60 days of the

date of the order.

On June 4, 1997, Algonquin LNG filed

in Docket No. CP96–517–002, a letter

with the Commission explaining its

accounting treatment for services

rendered under the Allens Avenue

Operational Coordinational Agreement

(Allens Avenue Agreement). Algonquin

LNG said that no accounting entries

related to such services were needed

because no revenues would be received

and no variable costs would be incurred

as a result of the Allens Avenue

Agreement.

On July 8, 1997, Algonquin LNG filed

in Docket No. CP96–517–002, certain

revised pro forma tariff sheets for its

Second Revised Volume No. 1 (which

will go into effect when the LNG

enhancement project goes into service),

revised certificate application Exhibits

N, O, and P, and revised pro forma

service agreements for the LNG

enhancement project. Algonquin LNG

said that pending rehearing, it has stated

its pro forma LNG service rates for the

LNG enhancement project in one part.1

The revised pro forma tariff sheets are

also intended to be in compliance with

Order No. 587 (Standards for Business

Practices of Interstate Natural Gas

Pipelines (GISB)) for the LNG

enhancement project.2 Further,

Algonquin LNG seeks waiver of the

GISB standard No. 1.3.10 relating to

nominations, and waiver of GISB

standards related to electronic bulletin

boards.

On July 11, 1997, Algonquin LNG

filed in Docket No. CP96–517–002, a

revised abandonment application

Exhibit Y, relating to the accounting

treatment of abandoned equipment,

structures and improvements, property

to be removed and salvaged, and related

deferred income tax accounting

adjustments.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to these

three compliance filings should on or

before August 15, 1997, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 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 157.20). 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 the proceeding or to participate as a

party in any hearing therein must file a

motion to intervene in accordance with

the Commission’s Rules. Any party

which previously filed a motion to

intervene in Docket No. CP96–517–000

need not file such motion again, but

merely protest or comment upon the

three compliance filings.

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 these

three filings, 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
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 147 / Thursday, July 31, 1997 / Notices 41035

the procedure herein provided for,

unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Algonquin LNG to
