CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice

of Compliance Tariff Filing

August 19, 1997.

Take notice that on August 14, 1997,

CNG Transmission Corporation (CNG),

tendered for filing as part of its FERC

Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No.

1, the following revised tariff sheets,

with an effective date of June 1, 1997:

Second Sub. Original Sheet No. 209

Substitute Original Sheet No. 211

CNG states that the purpose of this

filing is to further revise CNG’s mainline

pooling service in two respects. As

directed by the Commission in its July

30 Order, slip op. at 4, CNG omits

Section 4.3 of Rate Schedule MPS from

Sheet No. 209, which had referred to

negotiation of the imbalance fee

established by Section 4.1.A. CNG has

also revised the treatment of imbalances

in Section 6 of Rate Schedule MPS, ‘‘to

reflect the assessment of imbalance

penalties comparable to the penalties

under Rate Schedules FT, IT, and

MCS.’’ July 30 Order, at 6. Specifically,

CNG has revised Sections 4.1.A and

Section 6.5 so that unresolved MPSbased imbalances will be subject to the

same imbalance management provisions

that are currently applicable to

Wheeling Service under CNG’s Rate

Schedule MCS.

CNG states that copies of its filing

have been mailed to the parties to the

captioned proceeding.

Any person desiring to protest this

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC,

Regulations. All such protests must be

filed in accordance with Section

Regulations. Protests will be considered

by the Commission in determining the

not serve to make protestants parties to

the proceeding. Copies of this filing are

Notice of Complaint

August 19, 1997.

Horsehead Resource Development Co., Inc.

v. Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation.

Take notice that on August 8, 1997,

pursuant to Rule 207 of the

Commission’s rules of practice and

procedure, 18 CFR Section 385.207

(1996) and Order No. 636–C, Horsehead

Resource Development Co., Inc.

(Horsehead) tendered for filing a

petition for relief to modify the term of

a firm transportation contract it has

entered into with Transcontinental Gas

Pipe Line Corporation (Transco).

Horsehead respectfully requests that

the Commission shorten the length of a

firm transportation contract it has

entered into with Transco from twenty

years to five years. Horsehead states that

it is currently entitled to 2,200 Mcf per

day of firm capacity from Transco under

a contract which was renewed for a

twenty-year term effective for the period

November 16, 1995 through November

16, 2015. Horsehead states that the

contract was renewed at a time when

the twenty-year term-matching cap set

forth in Order No. 636 was in effect.

Since then, the Court of Appeals for the

District of Columbia Circuit overturned

the Commission’s decision to impose a

twenty-year cap.

On remand, the Commission

substituted a five-year cap to be

effective prospectively and stated that it

will entertain on a case-by-case basis

requests to shorten a contract term if a

customer renewed a contract under the

right-of-first-refusal process since Order

No. 636 and can show that it agreed to

a longer term renewal contract than it

otherwise would have because of the

twenty-year cap. Horsehead states that it

would have entered into a contract

extension with Transco for the far

shorter duration of five years had the

twenty-year term matching cap under

Order No. 636 not been in effect.

Horsehead respectfully requests that

the Commission grant its petition for

relief to shorten the term of its firm

transportation contract with Transco

from twenty years to five years from

November 16, 1995 (expiring November

16, 2000).

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said complaint should file a

motion to intervene or a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
