Midcoast Interstate Transmission, Inc.;

Notice of Application

August 19, 1997.

Take notice that on August 18, 1997,

Midcoast Interstate Transmission, Inc.

(MIT), formerly Alabama-Tennessee

Natural Gas Company, 3230 Second

Street, Muscle Shoals, AL 35661, filed

an application under Section 7 of the

Natural Gas Act for a limited term

certificate with pregranted

abandonment authority, authorizing it

to operate, for a limited period

commencing November 1, 1997 and

ending November 1, 1998, two 350

horsepower Clark compressor units and

related facilities, which are located at its

Sheffield Compressor Station in Colbert

County, Alabama, that are currently

used for standby purposes, all as more

fully set forth in the application which

is on file with the Commission and open

to the public inspection.

MIT requests that the Commission

issue the requested limited term

authorization no later than October 15,

1997 to provide the necessary firm

service entitlements of its customers

commencing November 1, 1997. MIT

states that during June 1997, it

conducted an open season for new firm

service. MIT contends that in response

it obtained new contracts for firm

service totaling 25,342 Dth/d. In Docket

No. RP97–331–000 the Commission

required MIT to continue service to the

Cities of Decatur and Huntsville,

Alabama, for one year beyond their

respective contract expiration dates.1

MIT states that as a result, it is obligated

by Commission order to provide firm

service to Decatur until November 1,

1998, and to Huntsville until April 1,

1999. MIT asserts that with the required

continuation of firm service to Decatur

and Huntsville, it will require

additional peak day capacity in order to

provide the new firm service that its

open season customers have contracted

for commencing November 1, 1997.

MIT states that because the

compressor facilities currently serve its

system in a standby capacity, there are

no additional construction costs

associated with this proposal. MIT will

provide the additional firm service that

is contracted to commence on

November 1, 1997, at its existing Part

284 tariff rates and pursuant to its

existing Part 284 Blanket Certificate

authority. MIT requests that the

Commission grant it temporary

authorization to operate the two

compressor units no later than October

15, 1997, if permanent certificate

authorization cannot be issued by such

date.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before August

29, 1997, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street

NE., 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 Natural

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 protestants parties to

the proceeding. 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 Natural Gas

Act 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
